sassafras pants

me: "joel, right before you go to bed you have to sit on the potty."

joel: "but i'm pretending to be a frog and frogs don't have penises."

what?!?!?!?!

i almost let him get away with it because, one, it made me laugh REALLY hard, and two, his uneducated guess was right... yep, i totally googled it.

"this is the greatest thing of my life."

that's what joel said directly after ben taught him how to blow water out of a blue pool noodle.

hehe.

i certainly hope not, joel.

the tricycle

so this morning, i was tearing through the parking lot of my complex... i was late to meet a friend for a long run and low and behold.........

OUR TRICYCLE!

the culprit had left it on the basketball court. did i take a moment to do what i should have done last time (stop and put it in a safe place)? you bet your little fanny i did! i slammed on the brakes and threw it in the back of the car. the tricycle has been restored to us! it totally made my morning.

and something else to make you smile, cute kids in the bath tub....


joel and kadin wanted to get swaddled up like oliver. i love that kadin is pretending to be asleep...
