Here Comes Peter Cottontail...

Hoppin' all over The Woodlands down the Bunny Trail. We tracked him down in several places. Remember the ferocious hunter? Well, now he's back, and this time...he's after rabbit! He had fur in his palms to prove it!


Ahh, another unsuspecting victim. Tasty rabbit's foot!


This picture looks like the Bunny is trying to eat Boog!



Boog: Daddy? What kind of car does the Easter Bunny drive?
Daddy: I don't know Boog, that is a good question.
Boog: I think he drives a fuzzy car.
Works for me...

And yes, that is a tortilla!



He's so proud.

Please raise your hand...

Can anyone tell my why this sounds like a bad idea?

Two kids, age 11 + one hot glue gun + no adult supervision = Super bad idea

I'm just sayin'...

I'll keep you posted.

If only I could be...forever three.

Without a doubt, I have the sweetest, most wonderful 3 year old to ever exist. Seriously...just tonight we had this conversation.

We were discussing him getting to be a big boy. Of course I should mention I was singing the Barney song, "Growing...we do it every day. We're growing when we're sleeping, and even when we play. Each day we grow a little bigger, a little taller, not smaller..." you get the picture.

Me: Boog, you are getting to be a big boy.

Boog: I don't want to be a big boy. I don't want to grow taller and get big.

Me: Why not?

Boog: I want to be little, I don't want to get bigger. How can I stay little?

Me: I can put a brick on your head. Do you want me to do that?

Boog: What's a brick?

Me: It's like a rock, we could put it on your head to keep you from getting taller. Do you want me to do that?

Boog: No.

Me: You want me to put you in diapers and back in a baby bed?

Boog: No, not a baby. Little like I am.

Daddy: You want to stay 3?

Boog: Yes, I wanna stay tree.

Me: You have a birthday coming, you are going to be 4 years old! Do you want to have a birthday?

Boog: No.

Me: You don't want to have a birthday party?

Boog: No. (with tears in his eyes, about to cry.) I do not want to have a party. I wanna stay tree.

Me: What about Tutti-Frutti? You want him to stay little too or do you want him to get big?

Boog: I want him to stay little too. I want me and Tutti-Frutti to stay little.

Daddy: Why, so you can sleep with Mommy and Daddy forever?

Boog: Yes...how can we keep me and Tutti-Frutti little? How can I stay tree?

Now, if that is not the sweetest, most innocent thing you have ever heard...I had real tears people! Who would have thought Barney the purple dinosaur would have had us all in tears tonight?!? Don't you wish everyone loved you as much as your precious 3 (tree) year old baby boys? The world would be a much better place.

Weekly Wednesday

Hope you are all having a Happy Wednesday!


Ramblings...

Happy April Fools to you all! And I should give a quick Happy Birthday to my nephew "K" as well, now let me tell you, that is the perfect child to be born on April 1st if there ever was one.

Well, except maybe for this guy (but today is not his birthday). I don't think it is anyway. Ok, so here's the story about that. I read the Riggs Family Blog regularly, it is Abby's family blog, the little girl with Leukemia. So imagine my surprise when I logged on this morning to see how things were going at the Riggs house...I see a suspension notice that loads almost immediately saying that the blog had been suspended for illegal happenings...WHAT? So, I click and read on and there is a photo of Brent, the dad in the back of a police car, you read on and there is a survey...should the blog be permanently suspended...WHAT? By now I am wondering just what kind of family blog I have been associating myself with all these months...well, needless to say, it was too early in the morning for me to even know what the date was, much less figure out that it was April Fools Day...and it had been years since I had had any sort of a prank pulled on me. HAHA....you got me!

Now you really should go and check it out for yourself. Seems like someone has too much time on his hands. When we are all sleeping soundly in our beds at night, this crazy man is thinking of ways to make our heart stop!

On to other news, I took Sour Apple to the doctor today. He has horrible poison oak all over his lower half. When we were there, we discovered that his top half was covered as well. They ended up giving him 2 shots, thank GOD!! I was about to kill him. All the scratching, fidgeting and such was driving me nuts. I know he was in misery but the kid was driving me totally insane with all of it! Too close of quarters while waiting I guess. But the shots seemed to have done the trick to getting us on the right path. They still look horrible but he said they do not itch near as bad as they had before. Poor guy.

Tonight he had a nice long bath in Aveeno oatmeal then was lathered up with all sorts of goodies we picked up earlier. Hopefully he will be better soon. Especially since Mommy is highly allergic to the stuff. He has already been threatened within an inch of his life if he touches me, is that bad parenting? Nah...
