Super Ultra
L.: "I am going to test out my Super-Ultra puppy eyes on Daddy. It's totally gonna work. Like, at school yesterday I was shooting at Carlos with a rifle because he was a rabid dog. But nothing happened so then I used super-ultra puppy eyes and he said, "Aaahhh.." and then fell over. Ha ha ha ha! "
(Btw: this photo was taken on a different day and is completely unrelated to the above story. Someone is a little one-track minded these days, I guess...) |

fortune (part II)
L.: "I made a new fortune teller. The bad fortune for 'deer mouse' is 'you will die of hantavirus'."
Me: "But that's a terrible fortune!"
L.(whispering): "I know..."

stuff they say
L. worked all evening on this paper "fortune teller." She made up all the options and "fortunes" herself and then tested them out on A.
Transcript of conversation:
L.: "So which do you choose?"
A.: "Uhh..how about that one: 33."
L. (reading fortune): "You will become an old, fat man."
A.: "Huh? I don't get it."
L.: "Yeah, that one is just random."
A.: "I don't get it."
A.: "I don't get it."
L.: "It's just random. Well, except that it's like Jesus. Except opposite."

Last time I went in for parent-teacher conferences, I was so very proud of myself. I was on-time, my hair was presentable, I had on some makeup and I wasn't even in pjs. I didn't even lose a child along the way.
Came home afterwards to find that my shirt was on inside-out and had been all along.
Will today's effort be more successful?

one more summer adventure
Just when we thought Summer was coming to an end, the start of school was delayed. And just when we were preparing for a couple more weeks of boring summer activities ("we want school! we want school!"), an opportunity for one more roadtrip popped up...
"are we there yet?"
|
...to White Sands!
to see these folks:
NOW aren't you glad that school hasn't started yet? |
We were having so much fun at the Sands that we stayed until dark. And then a little later... We had grilled steaks and corn and queso and watermelon deliciousness.
...and then we woke up the next day ready to play and play and swim and play some more.
there is so much happening in this photo...where to begin...? |

okay, no we did not do this whole job without outside help. but yes, we are so proud and happy about how it turned out. |
