dinosaurs

Evie's fascinated with dinosaurs.  Here's a conversation we had when I was putting her to bed one night:

Evie: What happened to the dinosaurs?
Me: They all died.
Evie: Why?
Me: I don't know, they just died.
Evie: Where are they now?
Me: Well, their bones are buried in the ground.
Evie: How did they get there?
Me: They just got there.  You see, the dinosaurs all died and over time the dirt covered their bones.  So that's how they got in the ground.
Evie: But who put them there?
Me: No one put them there.  They're just there.
Evie: Did people put them there?
Me: No, no one put them there.
Evie: But how did they get in the ground?
Me: Good night Evie.

funny things Evie has said

Evie is 3 which means she says some hysterical stuff.  Here's a sampling of things she's said recently:

the weather
Evie (looking out the window one morning): Daddy its soggy outside.
Me: 'Soggy'?  Oh I think you mean 'foggy'.
Evie, Yeah, foggy

plants
Evie: Daddy, plants really love oil.
Me: Oil?  What?
Evie: Yeah, they love oil.
Me: Do you mean 'soil', like dirt?
Evie: Yeah soil.

the BK drive thru (as we moved away from the place where you order and drove up to pay)
Evie: Daddy, why was that computer talking?
Me: What? 
Evie: The computer was talking.
Me: Oh sweetie that wasn't a computer, it was a person talking to us.  We told him what we wanted and he talked to us. 
(she honestly though I was talking to a computer.  Shows how infrequently we go to the drive thru).

My life would be much less fun without my children

Why non-beach loving parents go to the beach

I don't love the beach.  Jo does, but I don't.  I don't hate it by any means and can think or much worse places to go, but am really not into sand and sun.  But photos like this make the sand and sun and salt water worth it for me.

kiddos

pure unadulterated love...

How lucky am I?

Here are some pics of Jo, Adelle and Evie. Evie is now 3 months old. What bunch of cuties I've got!!

I get to not work at all next week. We leave tomorrow for Jo's parents' house in VA. Its not really a vacation per se, but it is a break from the routine. Viva la Vida!

quite possible the greatest song ever, pee, and a photo

Mayonaise by the Smashing Pumpkins. It wrenches my guts and often makes me want to cry. Ahh, they don't make music anymore like they did in the 90s. And thankfully, they don't make fashion like they did in the 90s either.



In other news, Evie peed on Adelle today. I had Evie on the ottoman to change her and thought that things were 'safe'. I didn't have Evie's diaper on yet, but was trying to make the switch. Adelle was standing right there watching and Evie started peeing, and I mean quite forcefully. Think water fountain. What I am about to write is no exaggeration: Adelle got a face full of Evie pee. I kid you not. Evie peed in Adelle's face. I still can't believe it.

Here's a cute photo of Evie:
