For some reason blogger won't let me do the & sign in the title...anyway...
Think Home Depot- B&Q is a large hardware store, and it's even orange and white like Home Depot. We stopped by B&Q tonight after dinner to look at some plants and flowers that we are looking to purchase to help the front of our house look more inviting. Our friends that lived here before planted some beautiful things, but they've died and need replacing! (sorry to our Aussie friends! :)
Anyway, I'll try and recapture what Cerys did the entire time we were in the store. She loves to talk, and all the displays of kitchens, bathrooms, tools, flowers, etc. was just too much for her!
As we were walking up to the store:
"Oh Daddy, this about to be FUUUN!"
As were walking around the store:
"Look at all dese things!"
"OH look Mommy, dat's so cute!"
"This is so fun Mommy, I want to go down der!"
"OH dose flowers are nice!"
Running and giggling- "WOW, this is fun!"
And lots more ooo's and ahhh's and shouting at the top of her lungs! But my favorite has to be as we came up to the bathroom department, with all the displays...
"Oh Mommy, look at all dose potty's!"
And we were saying things like this the whole time:
"Cerys, stay over here!"
"Cerys, use you quiet voice!"
"Sweetie, calm down, right this minute!"
"Yes, I know, I see, ya, that's nice, uhuh, hmmm, okay, ya, great!"
Who knew B&Q could be so fun!

Both of our boys enjoy both Home Depot and Lowes. One of their favorite things to do is play on the riding lawn mowers. Of course I encourage this attraction to lawn mowers. One day they will be mowing the lawn, not me. =)

Okay...this leads me to a memory. Early on in our years in Colombia we were at a store that sold bathroom equipment (tubs and toilets and such). It was in the middle of a big shopping mall in Bogota, if I recall correctly. I was at the stage that I felt the need to use the potty everywhere we went. I begged and begged to use the potty in the display window. My memory gets foggy here, but I'm pretty sure that my mom stopped me in time.
The mental image of Monica wanting to use the display is TOO funny!
My guys always want to "ride" the lawmowers/tractors at Home Depot/Lowe's. That store is always good for indoor entertainment. But not good for my bank account!!
She's a great girl. I love going to Home Depot. I could spend hours in there, just looking.
How cute is she? The boys love B&Q (including Pete!) Luke walks up and down the tool aisles naming everything he can, this includes a reciprocating drill (???) They would rather this to a sweet shop, honestly! At least you got to look at the flowers!
