New post from the "lady"

Okay, sorry.  I've received so many requests from people around the world to update my blog...and really, who am I to disappoint my adoring fans?  What is that you say?  I have no fans from around the world?  Actually, smartass, I just checked my stats and it seems someone in Romania has had a little look-see at my blog.  Okay, so it was just one look-see and it was probably a mistake, but it counts...and yes, I now consider myself to be known world-wide. 

Okay, things have been busy but I have a few things to share:

This one was taken after preschool...can you guess what the letter of the week was? 

That's right!  E!  He is clearly wearing elephant ears and has a trunk.  I don't know how anyone would mistake him for a "Lady Aardvark."  What a jerk!  I'm never going to that Walgreens again.



Here is Callen getting in some time with the Bey Blades while Jack is in school.  "Let'er rip!!!!"  Seriously, someone is making a killing on this toy.  It's so simple and innovative; even my husband and I have fun playing (for very short periods of time).  It got me thinking about some other toys that could be put on steroids.  How about "Acidic Potato"?  Better pass it or the acid will burn the fingerprints off your fingers.  Or, "Connect 4 or Else".  If you lose, you get punched in the face.  Remember: this blog is date stamped, so you are welcome to steal my ideas, put your hard-earned money into them, and sell them to major toy makers.  I will, however, then demand my share via lawsuit, but I really don't have time to implement these ideas without some help...from you, if you're able to spend some time on MY ideas.

This is a little hard to see, but this is a picture of Jack dipping his waffle into salsa.  I don't know what else to say about this.

Callen is a few months short of turning four and we have been seeing more and more of the little person he is becoming.  Both my boys have a very good sense of humor and several times a day, we have a big laugh about something.  Well yesterday, Callen kept calling me "Lady".  As in "Hey Lady!  Look at this!"  "Hey Lady, can I have some grapes?"  It was kind of funny but I wasn't exactly sure how to take it.  So I just said, "Um, Cal, you need to use your nice words."  Then he said, "Hey Lady, can I have some grapes, please?"  I saw the smirk on his face and I knew he was testing me.  I gave him a look that acknowledged the funniness of it but told him not to push it.  He got the message, then later, when we were playing outside with balloon rockets, he called me the "balloon man" because I was pumping up the balloons for him.  I actually preferred to be called "lady" by my son, but today, he's back to calling me "Mom".
