Ok Ok....

So I've been a total slacker in updating this lately... It's not for lack of material, or even for lack of time (since I'm on break right now)...just lack of motivation. But I really will put some new stuff up...hopefully before the end of the year.

Bear with me!

Please?

I'll post pictures later....

This evening.


I promise.

So silly...

I've discovered that life with a two-year old is NEVER boring. Take these stories for example:

• While at Grams', when Zach and Alec (aka Popeye) were jumping on the bed, they had to take off their shirts so that they could see their belly buttons.
• Yesterday, Grams heard a strange sound coming from the living room, and when she looked, Zachary was licking the cat. Yes, LICKING THE CAT. The strange sound was him "puh-puh-ing" to get the fur off his tongue. When I asked him, "Did you lick Baby Bear?" his reply was an enthusiastic, "YEAH!"
• "No mama" is his newest favorite phrase. I have been prohibited from dancing, singing, commenting on Little Einsteins or any other show, and touching his airplanes or any other toy.... Hmmmm...I thought the parent-embarrassment factor didn't kick in until 12-13.
  

I can hardly wait to see what the future brings....

The famous Louie...

I'm not entirely sure the affection is mutual...

Hand Foot Mouth Disease

Yup, he's got it. NO FUN.

For those of you unfamiliar with this little coxsackie (honest to goodness, that's what it's called) virus, look here.

Luckily, his spirits have been mostly good...he just can't eat because "Hut me! Mouth!" But we'll survive.

Musical prodigy?

Tell me this isn't the silliest thing you've ever seen...

Boy + Shredded Paper + Fan =

September 2006
This series of pictures was temporarily misfiled
(it even happens with digital files!), but I wanted to share
it because I think it's hilarious.

Zachary discovers the trashcan full of shredded
paper and decides to see what will happen when
he holds the shreds up to the fan...

The result...

But being the great boy he is, he helped to clean up




And he is nothing if not thorough!

Super Sickies...

Sorry for the delay in updates...we've been battling a couple rounds of strep throat (Chris & I), and Zach's constant runny nose (the amount of kleenex we're going thru is truly amazing).

We bought a new camera however, so there's lots of material to put up...once I'm healthy enough to do so.

Black Tuesday

Argh.

How can the tide be turning across the ENTIRE nation, but Idaho somehow manages to elect nearly ALL Republicans???

And pass the marriage amendment?

And defeat funding for schools?

I've GOT to move to another state. I can't cope with this.

SOOOOOOO tired

Oh my. We haven't had a nite like last nite for....well, I don't know how long.

Between dogs wanting to patrol the backyard for squirrels (It's the MIDDLE OF THE NITE! THEY'RE SLEEPING!) and Zachary waking up at 1 AM - I think due to a stuffy nose (yup, I think our household is descending into illness YET AGAIN) - and then not going back to sleep until 345 AM, it was a short nite's sleep for me.

Where are those toothpicks to prop my eyes open when I need them???

YAWN.

"Poop fly"

Last nite, we had Chinese food for dinner and with Chinese food, you always get fortune cookies... So, after we ate, we broke them out and gave Zach one (his first)...he took one look at it and said, "Poop fly!" (what he calls houseflies).

Chris and I cracked up. And then explained to him that it was a cookie and told him how to break it open. His first fortune read: THERE IS FAME IN YOUR FUTURE.

What an excellent first fortune for my poop fly boy.
