Ummm...

Has anyone else noticed that I'm super-behind on my blog?

Cause I have.

What a pain in the posterior.

Post Edit: And that book over there on the right-hand side of the page? Yup, I finished it... and two others since then. Wow, I'm a slacker.

Me and My Daughter

At our first ever mother/daughter date Lindy was asked to fill out a little survey to see how well she knew her mom. She was supposed to answer the questions as I would answer them. I'm not sure if I should be very concerned or very proud:

During our "date" we both got ourselves some glitter toes, made some fantastic flip-flops, and Lindy made some peppermint bath salts. It was AWESOME!

Well, because I have an awesome daughter!

Exhibitionism

As a mother of three highly energetic children, I have been mercifully granted the gift of tuning out the incessant chatter of my beloved little ones. Minute by minute I am barraged by never-ending tidbits of information I simply can't process in this scattered brain of mine...therefore, I am typically grateful for the filtering system provided to me.

However, when my 8 year old screeches something like "Mom! Curtis is naked in the back yard!" it's usually good if I'm listening. This simple, yet important, statement requires immediate attention. Because having my three year-old standing outside in all his glory isn't necessarily something I can encourage, right?

(For the record, I didn't immediately reach for the camera. I ordered his nudist-self back in the confines of our home...but, since my camera was on the counter next to the door, I couldn't resist snapping a couple shots as he resolutely stood, hands on hips, enjoying his momentary freedom.)

Taking His Cue From Uncle Wade

(Let's pretend that I let his hair get this long on purpose...and not because I was lazy, okay?)

Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls...

So, Curtis found a Sharpie today.

Apparently what you're looking at is a waterfall. A big, "beeeyoutifull" waterfall. Can you see it?

Me neither.

Side note: Just in case you're ever in a similar predicament...you can't clean off Sharpie. You can't paint over Sharpie. You have to buy a particular oil-based spray paint and prime those walls up before you can then paint over it all. FYI...just sharing the knowledge.
