Overheard

John: you pee sitting down or standing up?
Me: sitting down
John: you need to practise. I pee standing up now.

Me: what did you do this afternoon?
Steven: I fell asleep
Me: you took a nap? Both of you?
Steven: no I fell asleep
Me: it's the same thing
Steven: you plan a nap, falling asleep just happens.

Overheard

At Costco.
John: I don't want the beef that make us die. This beef gonna make us die?

Me: no sweetie, it's not. I don't want to but that kind of beef either. This one is safe. Don't worry.

We really need to stop watching the news around John.

And FYI, I bought ground beef.

On The Run



I know, I know, this is old news but I've been meaning to post these pictures.

 

Does it even look like the same man?  It's like he's trying to change his appearance...like he's a fugitive or something.   

 

Hey there mountain man...

 

Different, right?  How fair is it that he looks so young now?

 

So sad...and so cold.

 

Instead of a "thinking" picture, doesn't it look like he's looking at the picture above him? 

Like the Brady Bunch intro!

 

Look who else is in disguise and possibly running from the law.

 

Oh No!  There's on to me.  The Fuzz caught me. :(

Crafts

We do crafts at the house alot.  I like encouraging the creative side.  The imagination.

 

He made these ears in playschool last Easter.

We saw this craft in his magazine and I promised him that one day we would make one.

 

and if I do say so myself, we did an awesome job.

 

Poor Riley.  The stuff we do to him.

The Bug Hunter

Ladybugs BEWARE.

 

John will hunt you down, capture you and then NEVER let you go. 

 

Poor gals.

 

 John caught 3 ladybugs and gave them grass and water...and then let them sit in the container.

 

Sadly, two of them died.  Miraculously there was one survivor.  Steven made him let the last one free.

 

John:  (crying) Why?????

Steven: She probably has a family that misses her.

John: I will catch them too!

 

 

Different Anniversary

I'm glad John started school today. Instead of dwelling on the fact that 4 years ago today mom had her stroke, I am choosing to live life and rejoice that Sept 12 is the first day of Kindergarten.

I can honestly say that I am happy. I can honestly admit that mom's stroke wasn't on my mind all day. I kind of actually forgot the date. It's a nice kind of feeling.

I was concentrating on making the best memories for John that the bad memories sort of slipped away.

I'm not going to lie, it's a struggle sometimes still but it no longer rules my life.

More posting about school later!

Happy Anniversary

Nothing says love like drinking moonshine in the backyard with your husband.

Classy, no?
