I heard this on NPR this afternoon and was completely dismayed....
" States don't come much redder that Idaho." WHAT??? I knew this was a conservative state, but COME ON people!
I've got to move to a blue state. The bluer the better, frankly.

NOT FAIR! NOT FAIR!
This is what Zachary decided to yell repeatedly in the bathtub tonite.
No idea what he thought was unfair, as he was facing the wall when he was yelling, but he obviously felt compelled to state his opinion.
What a nut.

Silly zoo video
Zach loves the penguin statues
outside the penguin exhibit...
He loves to run around them saying,
"Huge! tiny. Huge! tiny."
What a silly boy.

Another trip to the zoo
October 2006
The carousel is a regular thing when we visit
the zoo now...just like sharing a
root beer float before we leave ("foat juice")
Looking for penguins
No moose on the loose here
(Funny story: as we were heading down the path
to get to the moose exhibit, we walked under
an oak tree where a squirrel happened to be
perched. The squirrel dropped (or threw) an
acorn right as Zach walked by, hitting him smack
on the head with it. Unfortunately, I missed this
event, but Chris was a witness, and for the rest of
our zoo trip, Zach kept saying, "Acone, head" and rubbing
his head. It was hilarious.)

Little Update...
Wow...late October already...where have the last 8 weeks gone?
Things with us are good...Zach has been sick for a month - fevers off and on for days, runny nose, congestion, cough...the works. Took him to the doctor last week, and was told there was nothing wrong with him...but he's had a fever every day since. Hmmmm. Aside from being sick, he's totally amazing.
His vocabulary is exploding - he's using short sentences ("I fall," "Hurt me," "Help me," "I do it," "My turn"), tantrums are less frequent (but when they come, they COME), he has definite opinions about things ("nope"), and is totally into the Halloween (Ha'ween) thing - calling every guy he sees either a "mosh" (monster) or "dude." It's a little embarrassing for me to be in the store with him and having to say, "No honey, that's a dude, not a monster."
Our four-legged friend Lily stayed with us for 3 1/2 weeks, and Zach was in heaven while she was here. She is the most patient, sweet dog ever. She tolerated Zach's climbing all over her, spraying her with the hose, and played fetch with him for hours on end. It was great for both of them. (Calvin and Cleo, on the other hand, weren't so thrilled)

Cracks me up daily, this kid.

his hair, but give him a stool and a kitchen sink
and WATCH OUT!!
What a nut.

Ring Around the Rosey
"Feisy" food
The other nite, we took Zachary to a local Mexican food restaurant for dinner. In typical Z fashion, he dug right into the chips and bean dip and then discovered the salsa. He dipped his chip in, and after his initial surprise at the spiciness faded, he proclaimed it: FEISthY (feisy with a very soft 'th' in there). He was hooked. He then proceeded to dip every chip into the salsa - even the really spicy salsa, and each time said, "Feisy."
So cute.
So cute.

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
Mark Foley's escapades in the House and the Republicans' efforts to cover it up.
Shameful.
It's never been more true: IF YOU'RE NOT OUTRAGED, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

Sickies
We've got the sickies in our house, so no pics this week (I'm headed to bed). Zach's had the crud for about 5 days (fever, runny nose, a bit of a cough), and tonite, my throat is getting sore, so I think I'm the next victim. I expect Chris will follow suit any day.
Bleah.
