Day 3

Today we slept in. I slept in. Today I slept in while my wife woke up early to deal with the older three children. The youngest walked onto my side of the bed last night and told me that he missed me, and that he is lonely, and has no one to cuddle with. He shares a room with his oldest brother, he just got done cuddling with his mom, and he is extremely persuasive. The youngest child knows exactly what gets me, and so he slept on my right arm all last night. He slept in until one of his siblings woke him up.

After breakfast we drove to Costco, Costco is 40 miles away, and it took us over ninety minutes to get there. We stopped at McDonalds on the way. Everything tastes different at McDonalds, except the fries. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or terrifying. I’ve had McDonalds in Germany as well, and as far as I remember, the fries tasted the same there too.

We spent a few hours in Costco. Again, the evens and odds sat in the shopping carts together. We needed a lot of items, and I think we should be good for a while. We might be purchasing a used minivan from a Toyota dealership, we are going back and forth. Our home has a garage that a minivan will fit in. As a side note, my wife chose an amazing home we are living in. The house has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and has on average four locks on every door. Along with iron bars over every possible place a person could come in.

After we got home and put everything away, me and the wife made her favorite dinner, pan fried tilapia with cherry tomatoes, steamed asparagus, and pasta with pesto. All four kids love fish, all fish. They have loved fish since they caught their first fish in Lake Tahoe from a trout farm, and a half hour later a local restaurant cooked their fish to perfection. I don’t know a lot of kids that like fish, let alone an entire family, my wife is doing a lot of things right.

We have motion detection cameras put up all over our house, as soon as any motion is detected I’m texted immediately, and I can watch in real time. The cameras also have an audio function that allows me to speak through the camera in real time. During our dinner my lovely Aunt Patty dropped our mail off, and I’m afraid I gave her a heart attack because I thanked her through the camera. Tomorrow we are going to a local church to see if it’s a good fit. I’m heading to bed, good night.
