choo choo!

Todd and the kids at Trailside Park, sitting on a bench.

Today was our last day of real summer - back to work tomorrow for Mommy. SUCKS!

We are leaving the boys in charge of Charlotte and Jamison and Calvin in charge of the boys.

I think it'll work out just fine. Right?

funny story i just remembered

On the way to the beach, we stopped at McDonalds for lunch. I chose it because it had a huge play area and the boys needed to get some energy out. Every other family with kids chose it, too. Unfortunately, the playyard was closed (cue whining and repitition of "I wanna go in dere!" now) so we sat near the door and ate our nuggies. We had been there a while when a man that looked sort of like the one here (but NOT a cartoon) wearing a McDonalds uniform and many tattoos came by to empty the trash. Owen yelled "OH! MOMMY!" pointing at him. I tried to shush him but he wouldn't give in and after many attempts to tell me what he was thinking he screamed, "IT IS! IT'S OLD MCDONALD!" I, and the parents crammed in the restaurant, all guffawed and Henry said, "Maybe not."

CHEEEEEESE with Grandpa:

Oh, Google, you are so knowledgeable and a little dirty, too.

What Does Google Know About Me?

Type in "[your name] needs"
Jane needs to find an introduction to alcoholism so she can decide what aspect of the disease is most interesting to her.
The most interesting part to me right now is the drinking part.

"[your name] looks like"
Jane looks like the bride of Frankenstein.
I just had a baby! Wait, does that excuse work anymore?

"[your name] wants"
All Jane wants is a nice cup of tea.
Yes, yes I do.

"[your name] does"
This one didn't work well....it thought I was saying "Jane Doe's." Lots of legal shit.

"[your name] hates"
Jane hates child molesters.
Again, yes I do.

"[your name] asks"
Jane asks "Where have the scary vampires gone?"
Excellent question.

"[your name] likes"
Jane likes Dick.
Does google live in my brain??

"[your name] eats"
Jane eats sweets.
Only ALL THE TIME!

"[your name] wears"
Jane wears jeans.
(#2 was "Baby Jane wears a Burqa.")

"[your name] was arrested for"
Jane arrested for beating a woman.
This is entirely possible. The zoo lady, the neighborhood dog lady, the mother of the kid who pooped in the pool yesterday, the girl who called me a bitch at the bar that one time, and of course the step class instructor. All of these were very near misses.

"[your name] loves"
Jane loves Dick.
Sigh.

Now you try it!

Boys at the park:

Charlotte with her new special quilt:

everyone loves a happy baby

Unless you hate babies. And then I have nothing more to say to you.

not for the prude

I just found this blog via another I read daily. I love it. It has a LOT of f-bombs and other obscene stuff, so if you are a prudish loser, don't go there. But I LOL'd when I read it.

Pool fun

Because our camera broke, here is a video of Henry at the pool, taken with my phone. :)
