Love being a mom

Enjoying this gorgeous day. Dog park & trails with tank & elliot. Could be a few degrees cooler, though. I'm breaking a sweat.  

Earlier in the day:  Elliot just ran into the kitchen and said "Hey! How 'bout you go back to your room?"   Me "why?"  Elliot "I just want to be ayone.  In the kitchen.  So I can pway wif Tank.  Ayone." Wonder how many cookies he wants to sneak...

Nice country drive

As I was driving home today, after taking Isaac to school late because I overslept, Elliot wanted me to go one way and I wanted to go the other. He made me explain why. I said I don't like stop lights. I asked him "wouldn't it be nice if we lived in the country? And it's all nice & quiet? And there are no stop lights?" I was expecting him to say "YES!" because he usually does. But this time he was horrified and said "NO!" So I made him tell me more, and he acted like I was crazy: "There isn't a MCDONALD'S in the country!!!"

Halloween 2012

The boys chose a costume for me. A whoopee cushion. I like them.  Big giant whoopee cushion.
