i am supercrab.
and i have misplaced my calgon.
of course even if i found it my charming child would invade my calming chamber no less than eight times letting in the draft and cacophony of the outer world and thus completely negating the therapeutic effects of my steamy bubble haven.
sigh.
happy labor day! hope your weekend was as fun as ours! we took a little roadtrip to spend a couple days with holly and crew . . . when i told g we were going to visit one of mommy's friends, of course, he asked if she had kids . . . i told him yes without going into details, so all the way down he kept referring to the new friend as "he" . . . i didn't see the need to enlighten him . . . holly has two "she's" and a baby boy . . . gotta give him credit though, he didn't even blink an eye when he realized it was mostly a girl scene . . . he's just all about the social life wherever he can find it . . .
g and anna were instant pals . . . she blazed the trail on the bikes, with the hoola hoops, building trains . . .
and in the pool . . . not much the girl can't do . . .
and like a good leader she's willing to come back and help her friends . . . like teaching the gman how to ride a two wheeler . . . barbie style . . .
thanks for being a great friend anna!
ella, on the other hand, was a little on the shy side and much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it . . .
her little personality was practically elusive on film . . . you know i can't resist a challenge . . . so i pulled out all my child charming skills . . .
i got the eyes . . . score!
then i got the smile . . . double score!!!
the trains were the real hit of the weekend . . . g already knows how to keep the girls entertained.
we all had a delightful time except for poor wilsie who was sick and in the doldrums.
i had to throw doldrums into the mix here. on the way home today g asked me what the doldrums were. when i hesitated in confusion because i just wasn't sure i'd heard him right, he proceeded to tell me that the doldrums were a spot out in the ocean where ships got stuck because the wind stopped blowing. yep. that's pretty much it. he has a working knowledge of the doldrums but he's still not overly concerned with his letters. says he's going to be a stupid scientist. i told him that's an oxymoron. that word hasn't entered his vocabulary yet, so he was a little stumped. love messing with the little guy's mind. hee.
and in case you were wondering . . . no scrappies happened . . . so my grand total for august was 21 . . . on to september!!!
and yes, it's true, back in my college days i could indeed consume 50 buffalo wings . . . i'm older and wiser now . . . and i wouldn't recommend it. :D
