Everett's Joke of the Day

Everett: Mommy I have a joke for you.
Me: Ok, sweetie what is it?
Everett: Why do animals sit on the toilet?
Me: I don't know, why do animals sit on the toilet?
Everett: (In a a very enthusiastic voice) Becaaauuuse, they don't have a potty chair to go on!

Cue loads of laughter from both of us, because he's three and potty talk is hilarious -- mommy laughter because it's the cutest darn thing to witness my three year old telling jokes!

These little moments are what make mommy-hood SO worth it.

just trying to keep this in my head

Who ever said my house with small children was going to be clean? Who? And why did I believe it? I probably told myself this lie, when I didn't have children and couldn't imagine that two little people could run such a muck. Life is messy, sometimes in the most literal sense. Thank you, Mary Randolph Carter, who ever you are for uttering these words. It keeps me going in this season of my life. 

this is glamorous
