New Specs and Family Funnies

New glasses! Her others were super broken. She's been acing her new contact lens wearing for one week,and passed her re-exam/check-up with flying colors!

SUPER cute frames :)

And I have to share a funny story . . . okay, maybe two, but this one applies to today :) We went to karate early, because we knew the eye appointments would go over regular class time. After we got home, the girls were both still wearing their bright purple, theme-of-the-month *Discipline* t-shirts. 

As we were finishing up school and getting ready to get ready to go, I looked at them and said, "Are you going to the eye doctor as twinsies?" BOTH instantly said, "No, I am wearing this shirt; she can change." They debated who had more short-sleeved shirts (they share everything, so I find this hilarious :) and ultimately, who was going to get to ride in the front seat (because we had Buck's car, while he took the van in to get the tires rotated because his eye dr appointment was before ours and before he started work--got all that? :)

Finally C says, "She can wear the shirt or sit in the front seat, but she's not getting both." G seemed happy with this arrangement.

Fast forward an hour . . . we're waiting in the tiny, super busy eye doctor's office, and I notice NEITHER of them is wearing the bright purple karate shirt!! 

"So you both changed?!" I asked in wonder.

Caelan helplessly pointed to the other side of the glass sliding door where her brothers were watching Finding Nemo on the tv displays. Wouldn't you know it? . . . Graysen was wearing HIS bright purple karate *Discipline* t-shirt!!

"He said it matched his hat," added Gabby.

I started laughing so hard! The girls didn't want to dress like each other, but their little brother had no such qualms . . . he was the tie-breaker, and he didn't even care, lol!

So the other story is from yesterday. I started putting all the karate and swim gear in the van, then left the house/garage door and my van door open to bring out my purse, etc. while the kids settled in the back. Well, as I was taking care of things the kids missed in the house, they started a clapping/whistling game in the van. 

The dog is always waiting for a ride-along invitation--he took this to be his cue! Imagine his surprise when only the driver door was left open . . . I can almost hear his dog brain churning, "Whoo-hoo! A promotion! I used to have to ride in the back, but now they're going to let me drive!"

And then when all the kids started yelling, "No! Get out! Oh no!" you could almost hear the dog thinking, "Oh crap! I'm in trouble! Misread the cue, misread the cue!"

But the funniest thing was, he didn't jump into the seat . . . he jumped under the dashboard by the pedals. And he got stuck. :) A 100 lb. dog in that little space trying (in a panic) to turn around and escape was almost too much :) Oh my goodness! We were all laughing so  hard. Poor critter :)
