it must be monday...

does anyone else feel like friday the 13th should have been on monday the 16th this year? what a crazy day we've had starting at 5am with an obstinate and defiant 3 year old in the middle of our bed - culminating with said child having a small potty break in the middle of his bedroom. now is not the time and place to use profanity, but %^*%. somewhat irrationally i took away his piggy bank (so he could pay for the damage - that'll be $3.50 son) and told him he would have to explain to kevin (the most fabulous carpet cleaner) what he did. it worked for the time being. he felt sorry. he cleaned it up. he said he would talk to kevin. he's 3. i will laugh about this someday. really i will. this was the expression on his face when i walked into his bedroom during said accident.....

we had a bittersweet father's day. we got the hard stuff out of the way in the morning and spent some time out at dad's house (camp kenny) with the kids and the dogs. a very peaceful and quiet place (if you discount the tree trimmers next door). i absolutely love it there. so many memories....then we spent the rest of the day doing yardwork and cooking and BAKING (chocolate cake for daddy). in case i forget to mention it enough - i am so thankful to be blessed with the best hubsband i could wish for and so thankful that he is the father of that sweet little pea and beans in my life. we all love you so much brad dad.
