Wordless Wednesday - He Doesn't Sleep Alone

Monday Amusement

I stayed at my sister's house this weekend and watched her kids.  On Saturday I was brushing my hair into a pony tail before taking the kids to the Porter Rockwell Trail for a walk.  I saw a few hairs that seemed a little more bleached than usual.  I turned my head and leaned toward the mirror for a closer look. 

I called my niece up to the bathroom and asked, "Tarah, is this white like a blonde hair or silver like a gray hair?" 

She informed me, completely unsympathetically I might add, that it was indeed gray.

Monday Amusement

Kaden came out of the bathroom and said, "Mom, I brushed my teeth all by myself."

Usually I follow-up by brushing his teeth myself, but I guess I was too tired or lazy or busy or ???  Later, after I got him in bed for the night I went into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my own teeth.  There on the vanity in a pasty puddle was his toothbrush and next to it a tube of...

...not this...

...but this...

  He's still alive so not harm done (I hope).

Wordless Wednesday - The Shirt Says It All

Virgin Territory

I got Mystic'd (aka spray tanned) for the first time yesterday.  There was a Groupon special for two tans for $20.00.  The experience was OK.  First, while I was in the buff, I thought about those men we've heard about on the news who peak at people when they're tanning.  I was afraid for anyone who would try to peak at me.  Then I got in the booth and assumed the position.  Then came the spray.  Brrr.  Pew.  Choke.  Gasp.  Blind.  You have to manage all of that, then turn around without any of your body parts rubbing against each other (my thighs?  right.) or anything else, while you and the floor are slippery, and quickly re-assume the position - all without being able to breathe or see.  I'm sure that was a sight.

Finally you get out and towel off hoping you're doing it right so you don't get streaky or splotchy.  You're not supposed to sweat or shower until the next day.  The girl who "trained" me, recommended I not wear a bra for the rest of the day.  Cute.  The results slowly developed as the day went on.  Good news!  I don't look like this:

Next time I'll do it on the way home from work so I don't have to waste a whole day sitting around the house bra-less.

Annika is Camping, Not Dead

I have a cute thing to tell you about something Kaden said. Yesterday he asked if his cousin, Annika, could sleep over this weekend. I told him no because she'll be camping.

"Maybe next weekend instead," I said.

"Annika's dead?" he asked.

Kaden and Annika
I gave up trying to get a cute smile out of her after four tries.

Almost Famous

Aunt Tina took Kaden to the zoo today and he was selected to be part of the bird show.  He was so excited when he told me all about it.  Here is a video she recorded.  If you haven't played a lot of videos online, click pause for a minute immediately after you click play in order to let it stream ahead a bit.  Then it won't stall while it's playing.

We love Aunt Tina for all she does for Kaden.  She always does fun activities with him.
