Absolutely!


What a busy summer this is shaping up to be for our family! We have spent many days enjoying the beach, the zoo, and Downtown Chicago. Yesterday we went to the Brookfield Zoo with some new friends from church. We had a really good time. On the way there, Ryan decided to stop at Duncan Donuts and get us some bagels. Gavin said he wanted a chocolate donut WITH sprinkles! I wasn't so sure that that even existed. Well, Ryan got back in the car and sure enough, it does! Gavin was in all his glory. This is how his response went . . .


Me: Gavin! They do have a chocolate donut with sprinkles (as I hand back the donut to him)

Gavin: HOLY COW!!!!

Me: Oh Gavin, what a special treat!

Gavin: ABSOLUTELY!!!!


It was so funny. He absolutely thought that that was a very special treat!

Yikes!



Okay, this is getting ridiculous! I guess I haven't really been all that concerned about gas prices since they have been going up and up and up and up (well, you get the idea). The reason I haven't been concerned is because, sadly, I don't think I have pumped gas more than five times in the last seven years. Ryan always makes sure I have enough. When we had two cars, he would even take my car out just to put gas in it for me. Is something I've never asked him to do, he just always does it! We drove into the suburbs the other day to visit with some family and we took advantage of the "cheaper" gas prices. When Ryan was done pumping he was like, "Check this out!" So I had to whip out the camera. When he's celebrating his 80th birthday this picture will be posted somewhere and people might say, "Wow, only $99 to fill up?"
