Tid bits



 Me: "What do you want to wear to kindergarten today?"
 Carly: "Ooh, THIS shirt! It's totally fashionable!"
 Me: "... Fashionable? YOU'RE FIVE YEARS OLD!!"

 Me: "Wow, my kids are pretty smart..."
 Walks into bathroom. Sees a DOOR KNOB inside the TOILET BOWL.
 Me: "Wow, my kids are idiots..."

 My kids like to sing their own made-up songs on the spur of the moment. My favorite this week was Wes' "I'm gonna eat a cookie and rock out!", barely beating Carly's "I love Daddy and Popcorn!" song.

 I took Carly out with me to the store the other night. Near the end she tells me "Dad, I'm starving!" So I test her: "Do you want a hot dog, or a piece of candy?" Her reply? Yup. "CANDY!!!" No surprise there.

 1-year olds are like little zombies, shuffling around and making weird noises. They can walk, but they can't think. This is never more apparent then when watching a young toddler walked straight into the side of a bathtub and then fall right over and in, head first. Whoops!

 "Wes, your underwear is on backwards", I told my 3-year old. So he took them off and put them back on. "Wes, your underwear is still on backwards" I told him after another glance. "And so is your hoodie. Also, your hoodie is inside-out".

 Then Calvin became the second of my boys to eat an older sibling's poop. Never have kids, my friends. Stay childless as long as you can! CHERISH IT!!

Visiting the Grandparents

A family vacation to California-land (the state):
  Much ado about tea-sets...
  Reading a book to calm the savage monsters...
 And... the money shot! (look how little short-haired Cal pal was!)

Carly was the worst


My little girl is a sweetie, but she finished last (out of 34) in our Friends March Madness Group last year. Can she do any better this season? Can you?
