Age is just a number

A direct quote from Uncle Ken, "Now that Annie will be less than a third of my age instead of my being 4 times her age, I am happy to wish her a very happy Birthday!"



For my birthday, auntie Lynn came over to babysit so that Jer and I could go out to eat. Funny story this one is....

Auntie Lynn gave Jer his birthday present on July 5th, 2008. His birthday was November 13, 2007. She had a card signed by herself, and my mom and my step-dad, and a gift certificate inside....SINCE NOVEMBER 13TH OF 2007. The gift certificate expires on July 16th, 2008. In order for Jer to use his birthday gift certificate before it expired, it was crucial that we get a sitter. No better time to do that than on my birthday. Auntie Lynn, possibly out of guilt and obligation, volunteered to babysit for us. So, we got to use Jer's birthday gift on my birthday just days before it expired. I'd like to thank auntie Lynn for both creating a problem and providing a solution in such an efficient manner!

Carter is so excited about going pee-pee on the potty. He goes and goes and goes. His new thing is to stand over it and 'aim' like daddy does. This weekend, he took a huge dump in the potty, just like his daddy does! (Don't worry, Jer doesn't read my blogs). Tee-hee-hee.



Uncle Andy has moved to town, and is staying in our basement. Lucky for us, he has a satellite dish, and we finally have cable again!!!! Unfortunate for me, I haven't gotten to bed before 11pm for the past few nights....damn that cable television, DAMN!!!
The kids like to play with daddy's poker chips. Yesterday, while running around naked, Carter wanted to put the chips in his pocket.... Now, just think like a 3 year old for a second. If you were Carter, and you were naked, and didn't have any shorts on that had pockets, but wanted to create a pocket, where would you make the pocket be????
I had to explain to Carter that his butt crack did NOT a pocket make.



And Bob The Builder was fixing my kitchen yesterday, just after he returned from the frozen tundra.
It's a strange life we live, indeed.
