1. Ben sold his beloved Jetta this weekend. It was a bittersweet moment as he's had this car his entire adult life. It took us on many a great roadtrip and was Ava's first ride home from the hospital. You should see Ben in action buying and selling cars. I think he missed his calling as a trader on craigslist. I got some very stern looks when I showed a little too much enthusiasm about the plug in the backseat. Don't even get me started on the little telephone button on the steering wheel. Who knew?!
I am no longer invited on future car buying ventures.
2. Sabrina gets a little lovin from the boy
3. What do you do when you accidentally buy phyllo dough instead of puff pastry? You make taco roses instead of empanadas. I got a few confused looks at dinner but they turned out to be a hit. Look for my next cookbook, Meat Roses. Hmm...I may have to rethink that title.
4. You know your kids are on too many medications when they're giving their stuffed animals an inhaler.
5. Somebody's got 2 loose teeth! It is such a weird feeling to look in your child's mouth and see teeth out of place. I don't know who's more excited, me or Ava. I did some investigating and the tooth fairy has really stepped it up since I was a kid. Apparently I need to buy some fairy dust and gold coins. Stay tuned!
6. Ian's current obsession is chop sticks. Who knew they had so many uses? He's the only three year old I know who can open a door with two sticks welded together. Of course he still refuses to feed himself but I figure this is progress.
7. Meet our new family member. Furby is one crazy toy. It is not unusual to find me holding her while cooking dinner, just trying to calm her down. One casual observer stated, "I think you guys need to have another baby."
8. Ian had his 3 year check-up yesterday and he's a little on the skinny side. The doctor said it's just because he's in the 95 percentile for height. He also said that if his poop sinks we're all good. Well you learn something new everyday. Mom's everywhere be on the lookout for floating poops. Non-moms, I'm sorry, you came to my blog on the wrong day.
9. I finally got the chance to volunteer in Ava's kindergarten class and was pleasantly surprised by her lovely classmates. They welcomed me at the lunchroom table and told me that Mrs. Scott was going to put me to work. Luckily I know how to wield a stapler with the best of them. I also learned that snow comes from God flushing ice down his toilet. Just FYI.
10. And while we're on the subject of toilets...this one is pretty self explanatory.
Hope you found the wacky in your Tuesday!
