Forever...

Ironically, that was the title of this week's Smallville. For those of you who are also die hards... it was a pretty good episode, huh? Funny, I was just telling Bubbles today if there was only a way to freeze time, to capture the moments we go through during our daily life so that we could remember them forever.

I took the kids to the Promenade today. Looking for parking in the structure can be completely frustrating when it's late afternoon with 2 kids in the car. Stich started acting up with his usual fussy self. But today instead of getting frustrated with Stich... Lilo took it upon herself to make him laugh. Before I knew it, the 2 of them were in the back giggling so hard. I thought to myself, God I hope this lasts their lifetime. They have this connection between the 2 of them that I hope will never end.

As we were driving home , Stich was again overcomed with the case of the giggles. I kept looking back at him... his mouth wide open (definitely didn't get his mouth from daddy... daddy has a small little mouth... and came to the realization today that he doesn't have mine too... maybe the shapes of the lips but boy, his mouth is HUGE). But anyways, he just kept giggling/laughing... placing his hands over his face. He was so ADORABLE!!! I couldn't help but laugh.

And on the last note of the day... today marked the first time Lilo shoplifted. We had already left Old Navy with a shirt that we bought for her for ONLY $3.99... what a steal. So she carried her bag out and we started walking towards the parking structure. She was showing me that she could walk backwards and I got a sudden glimpse of something pink. She had one hand on the bag and one hand behind her back. I asked her to show me. Turns out she stole a keychain with a small pink hawaiian sandal on it. I had to explain to her that we don't take things that don't belong to us and we have to pay for things. We marched right back to the store where she had to return the item back to the clerk (how embarrassing) and apologize. Goodness, is this the beginning of many more trials and tribulations for Bubbles and me??? But thinking back, if this is the worse she will ever do... life will be okay.
