a few random happenings from the last several days:
1. a NON-ode to costco.... i went to costco last friday evening. it was a kid-free trip that was pleasant and quick until... i get to the checkout stand. i bought two different pairs of shorts for joel that were different prices. the guy scans the more expensive pair twice. except i didn't notice until i was checking over my receipt as i was walking out. i sigh and roll my eyes and hop in the returns line to have them fix it. i wait 30 minutes only to have the guy tell me i need to go to the merchandise pick-up counter. walk back to the merchandise counter, wait 15 minutes. they finally get around to helping me and the lady hands me back my change, receipt and costco card. wait in line at the exit for several more minutes to get a smiley face on my receipt and notice i don't have the stupid shorts! lady forgot to hand them back. i go back and get them and FINALLY walk out the door. nearly an hour of my time wasted for a mere $2.19... all because my cashier was flirting with the cart loader girl. oh costco, how i love thee, how i loathe thee!
2. i went to the park with my kids yesterday. it's just me there and two other women i don't know with their kids. a guy shows up with his son and... his guitar. he starts playing and singing romantic songs like "unchained melody," "all i have to do is dream" and an assortment of beatles love songs. he was totally going for it... singing passionately in all of his warbly-voiced, off-key glory. i'm pretty sure he was there to pick up chicks. an hour later (yes he's still singing away at this point), the two other ladies and i left the park within a few minutes of each other. as i'm walking away, i turn around and the guy is packing up to leave. what do you guys think? was he serenading all the ladies to try and get a phone number? or maybe he just wanted an audience and his audience left. i'm gonna go ahead and give him the benefit of the doubt.
3. a typical night in the shafer household. please don't call the CPA on us, but i think this is pretty hysterical (the video is kind of long but you can get the idea from the first minute and a half or so):
there's probably a little too much testosterone around here.

Your boys are hilarious! And, I love all the laughing the background. LOL! That might win you a couple thousand on America's funniest home videos! And, Oliver is such a little CHUNK! Such a cutie!
Brilliant! And I totally love that the Elders are there, too. LOL!
Yes, I love that you are entertaining the elders with your kids. I am sure that was the best entertainment of the week for them!
So fun! Carter and Mason were with me watching this and Carter said, "I want to go there and do that with them!" and then Mason said, "Oh, my Kadin is a little wit!" Cute fun kids...we miss you!
Aww we miss you guys!
Oh great, this is going to be my house in a couple of years! I can't wait! :)
I can't believe how big Joel is! Wow he is totally a big kid now, not the teeny kid I remember. Do you think he'd still scream like a little girl if he saw Troy? Maybe he's big enough to be over that....
