Chewlee Has A Sleepover.....

It was kind of funny that the Princess and the Beast got together to make spaghetti and meatballs.  That would have been great except for one thing.  The Beast got carried away, added a big can of tomatoes and changed the taste of the spaghetti entirely.  We were trying to fix it by adding various spices but what it really needed was more of the hot Italian sausage.  We put a big bowl of the sauce in the freezer for next week but we are going to fry up some cut up hot Italian sausage and add it, trust me.  That should fix it up.

Of course, Gunner wasn't complaining.  I ended up feeding him, sort of.  He only wanted one noodle at a time.  What was really funny was that Baron was jealous and wanted some, too.  I went to give a noodle to Gunner and Baron snatched it out of my hand.  Gunner laughed because he thought it was a game but it kept up for a while.  One noodle for Gunner, a second one for Baron.  He even slurped one and THAT was really funny to see.

Chewlee asked me first and then her mother if she could spend the night.  She had done well on her spelling and her reading (she's reading a LOT of books now).  Her Florida grandfather (that's what she calls him now) is buying her the *Diary of a Wimpy Kids* series.  She gets sent about 3 books every month and she is eager to read them...in order....as soon as she gets them.  She made some bookmarks the other day and now she is using one of them to mark where she left off.  

She brought the book over to ask me to read a part of one that was in script.  She says they are just learning how to do that.  I assured her that once she learned how the letters all are shaped and how they connect, she will be able to read those by herself.  The section I read to her was a letter from the Wimpy kid's grandmother that he included in his diary. 

She's asleep in the guest room right now and I promised to join her once I get this posted.  She had fallen asleep while we were watching a Harry Potter movie (she loves them).  We will probably watch more tomorrow until her mother gets home from her photo session.  Guess who gets to babysit until Johnnycakes gets home to take over the chore?  I just hope Gunner isn't cranky so I can rock him and get a nice cuddle with him.  He is such a cutie.  

Love you all.  I hope your weekend turns out to be fun for you and that the weather is great.  Be safe.  Drive carefully.  Remember, the life you save may be your own!  ***Hugs***
