Is it a boy thing?

Should I be concerned that my son is constructing "guns" out of railroad track? This particular gun was to be used for "hunting". Hunting what? "Reindeer." Why reindeer? "Because they are wild."

"I want to go on a LONG Light Rail ride all the way to the bridge!"

So, that is just what we did! We rode.

We ate lunch at Bison Witches.

Then we came home.

Perhaps it was too "long".

Pillow Talk

Setting: Master bedroom, 7am. Children piled into parent's bed, everyone snuggling.

She: I can't believe that we made these little people!

B: No, God made us.

She: Your dad and I had something to do with it, too.

He: Well, it is a little bit of both.

B: God is dead. Didn't God die?

(Mom thinking of something clever to say)

He: That is what CNN would have you believe.

Pillow Talk

Setting: Master bedroom, 10pm. Children in bed, parents watching some Food Network.

Dog (Maylie): Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.

She: Did you hear that?

He: Yes. (Throwing the covers over his head) I'm going in here to smell my own fart so that I don't have to smell THAT!

What is it with large dogs and their ability to produce the most horrendous gas?

He is 33

On April 2nd, Prince Charming turned 33.

We celebrated with cupcakes in bed.

We opened presents.

We played with the new toy.

E perfected the rocker stance.

And then Prince Charming and I went out for a nice pizza dinner at Humble Pie.

It was a lovely day.

**this also happens to be my 100th post. Have I really had that much to say?**

Documenting

Beginning in 2007, we have hired our friend, Jamie, to take some yearly snapshots of our family. We had so much fun the first time we did it, that we decided to invite him over every year! Jamie and I have known each other since we were wee ones and I just love the way he captures the boys in action. Thank you, Jamie, for another great day!

Meet Harriet

We picked up our Welsummer hen today. She is 10 weeks old, about 4 weeks older than our other ladies. She is so sweet and I hope that the other gals like her soon. Lola has been chasing her around and there has been some pecking going on. I hope that she doesn't miss her old home too much. Our flock is complete now that she is here.
