Braces off!!!

It's been awhile

It's been awhile since I've shared the wisdom of Bailey.  I will share a genius piece of schoolwork.   She brought home a sheet with this picture:

Questions:

1.  What do you notice first when you look at the photograph?

There are a bunch of U.S. flags.

2.  Describe what is happening in the photograph.

People are partying for women.

3.  What is the most interesting to you about this photograph?

How many women are in this photo.

4.  Why do you think this photograph was taken?

To show how many women want women's rights.

This photo was taken long ago.  It is important for people to see it today?


It is important to remember this today because you should feel bad for the women who had to do stuff for men.  

Mailbox

It took me 3 trips to Home Depot but I finally replaced the mailbox. I was starting to fear the letter carrier would stop delivering when our mailbox door was failing to stay shut, but when the door fell off completely, I knew it was time. Meet our new mailbox.

Just a little nibble

This is what happens when you put a baby in a cardboard box with a cat.  Leroy is so tolerant.  He deserves an award.

Oops

I didn't mean to sound like such an attention whore in my previous post.  My Frankenstein keyboard on my broken ass-laptop just posted the previous post prematurely.  It just said "I hate myself".  This mistake made me laugh. . . a lot so I didn't delete it.   I was about to embark on composing a manifesto about what I hate about internet Mommy Bloggers.  I post here regularly about my genius children and fantastic life making me a complete hypocrite hence the title "I hate myself".  No, it is not a cry for help.  I'm fine.  I probably don't hate myself. 

I suppose I'll compose that post another day.  In the meantime, I should organize something and post pictures about what a great job I did.  Or I can cook something and take step-by-step artsy photographs of the process of my healthy and exotic dinner. 

No, I've got it!  I will post a funny little anecdote about something my child said! 

I went outside to move the car out of the driveway this morning so Nick could go to work.  I mentioned to Bailey I was going outside in my sexy pajamas and she should be embarrassed by my antics.  Her reply was simply "Word will spread". 

I hate myself

Crawling! Videos!

Crawling Day Zero.  

I took a video last night hoping to catch Avery's first forward motion.  I could swear she was moving oh so slightly forward, but I was unable to catch it on video.  I took this video while I was watching The Human Centipede.  There is this crazy doctor who kidnapped 3 people and surgically connected them mouth to anus.  He taught his human centipede to crawl.  I think Avery was taking notes.  My favorite part of this video is the movie playing in the background.  Very baby friendly.

Avery's not crawling video.  The best part is the Japanese/German shouting in the movie.  The entire video is not important.  

Crawling Day One

Fast forward 24 hours.  Avery is clearly mobile.  We are so happy for her but feel bad for the cats.  She is a beast.  

Avery catches the remote control.
