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

Oatmeal...

Here is the back story as to why there was an entire container of oatmeal in my bathroom in the first place. I have poison oak, badly, covering about half my body, bad. So, I've heard that oatmeal helps with poison oak, I used it in the shower. As I was getting dressed in our room I heard echoed squeals of delight, I yelled at my husband 'where are the kids'?!? His reply 'in Everett's room playing'.

This is what I found...

                  

Did this little darling commit such a crime alone, or did he have help?

Oh, he had help alright. His partner in crime exiting her hiding place, the shower.

 BUSTED!!!

You know you're not ready for zumba when...

1.  you forget a water bottle and have to ask your friends for sips of water off of there's

2. you thank God they keep the lights dim in class  

3. you should have stuck it out in dance class in third grade, it could have really come in handy in the rhythm department

4. you don't have moves like Jagger

5. you've been limping all week because you messed up your knee doing rhythmic squats

6. you have no idea how you made the dance team when you were 15, pity it had to have been pity

7. your hair tie fails you during class and you have to keep putting your hair up while making it look like you're still "dancing"

8. you wished you would have done more kegels, if you had known there were going to be that many hip thrusts and booty shakes

9. you know if your husband saw you doing it he would be on the floor laughing until he cries, I know I would

10. you don't care, and will do it over and over again until you fit into those darn pre-pregnancy jeans that sit mocking you on the top shelf of you're closet
