Left in the Car

I had the worst memory lapse event today.

I stopped at the grocery store after I dropped my little guys off at preschool and picked up:

4 gallons of milk,

2 frozen pizzas,

an 11 pound turkey,

about a half dozen bags of chips (they were on sale),

and the makings for a banana cream pie (including Cool Whip).

When I got home, I walked into the house with my purse and my coat and promptly started working on the bills. After 2 hours (probably more like 2 and a half), I realized I still had groceries in the back of my car!!!

Luckily, East Tennessee has hit a cold spell.

The turkey was still frozen, the milk still cold to the touch.

The cheese on the pizza wasn't frosty anymore and the Cool Whip was no longer firm,

but I think I was able to salvage it all.

Whew!!

Tastes like Chicken

Spencer's favorite Halloween candy is Tootsie Rolls. He likes the long skinny ones the best. He has dropped a few in his pocket the last few days as we leave the house and then brings them out as we are driving down the road.

Today after preschool, he opened a Tootsie Roll and was flattening it out and playing with it, preparing it to eat. He took a bite of his flat Tootsie Roll and said, "Yum, tastes like chicken.".

I've tasted rattlesnake before and I know for a fact IT tastes like chicken, but never have I bit into a Tootsie Roll and thought, "Yum, it tastes like chicken.".

I wonder where he heard that phrase???
