Toilet talk

Toilet talk. So when does this stage end anyway?? Or the actions to go with it. Farmer boy has to take a "R" item for show-and-tell this week. One option: the runs. Yep. Finally, he decided on something else that causes the runs: Runza sandwiches.

Then this morning at Bible Study. Yes, Bible Study, the Princess kept farting. For everyone in the room to hear. She was quite proud of herself too.

And #3 (wait, I got scolded for referring to him as that), I mean, Cookie Monster now makes a refreshing "ahhhhh" sound after he farts.

Isn't parenting fun??

At least the babe is a girl, right. Oh wait, "the Princess" was the guilty party at Bible Study. Oh, many more years of this!!

Remember when..??

I know we all have a photo like one of these, somewhere. One of our favorites mimicks the "orange" picture below. Beware, you might wet yourself from laughing so hard. I received these in an email titled "Olan Mills' Awesomeness." Enjoy!

Here were the captions:

1. Olan Mills backdrop #4: Bucolic Meadow with Split Rail Fence. Is that an animal carcass behind her?
2. Drake won Bitchin'est Senior Mullet by a landslide.
3. I've got a 20 that says he drives a Camaro.
4. Patrick broke ranks and chose drag over the bow tie.
5. The library might be more believable if the shelves weren't sloping downhill.
6. This photo isn't discolored. The 70s really were that orange.
7. Bobbi isn't the first waitress to fall for her manager, but they both got fired from Shoney's.

Bloodshed

Nice, when I went to take a long, hot bath in this cold, cold weather a few days ago, I told kids not to bother me unless someone was bleeding. Their response: "We'll make someone bleed." Nice. Who's kids are these anyway???

Grrrr.......the attack dog!

The 15-pound protector of our home! I feel sorry for LaRue when she gets older. Let's hope by the time she can talk (back), I don't mistake her name for the dog since they both have "bell" in them.

#3, The Princess and Farm Boy

Forgive me, I'm new at the picture posting bit. But this is a recent view.

LaRue

Out of the mouths of babes...

My kids never cease to amaze me! Apparently when my friend called tonight, farmer boy answered the phone. When dad asked who it was, his reply was "someone who knows are names."

This call came shortly before the princess left me messages on my cell phone. Here's a sample:
"Mom, it's 9:02. My neck hurts. When will you be home? Love you, bye."

Next message: "Mom, it's 9:08. The TV doesn't work. When will you be home? Love you, bye."

A couple of days ago, it was the princess crying: "mom, daddy won't come upstairs with me. When will you be home? Love you, bye."

Anyhow, enough about the calls. Today was #3's second visit to time out. He looked too cute. I had to turn away to keep from laughing. The trip came after he smacked the princess as hard as he could with the vacuum hose.

LaRue is making us all smile, especially as she sucks on her first two fingers to comfort herself. She also balls herself up to spit and make noises. It's too cute!!
