Time for a Laugh

So, I have these funny people who live at my house. My very own jesters. Yesterday, the kids were helping me clean the house for my book club. Christian was dusting a dish and vase. This is the conversation I heard:
Ashton: Christian, that is Depression glass.
Christian: What is that?
Ashton: That means it came from the Depression.
Christian: Is that old?
Ashton: Yeah, the Depression was more than 70 years ago.
Christian: Wow. Is that even older than Mom?
Ashton: Yeah, way older.
Christian: Whoa...

Thanks, Bud. Good thing you've got that face on you.

Plus, someone I know won't take naps anymore. Here is a semi-common scene at dinner:


Also, ever since the tragedies of the balloon, the paci, and the Target potty (see past posts, if you're lost at this point), she has a nervous thing. I don't know what to call it. She holds her hair. Every time we go outside or she sits on the potty, she holds her hair. I asked her if she was becoming OCD. She said, "yep." Christian said to me one day, "Mom, do we need to take her to therapy?" Maybe so. P.S. Thank you for all the comments about her jacket. It has been such a huge success that I put it on her her for all her pictures. Even potty pictures. :)

Wow, I love the new blog background and the very spring/summer photo of the kids! Makes me antsy for spring. Darling photos of the kids. The things they say seriously crack me up!
Love you,
Grammie

I guess you're only as old as your depression.

The video was way funny. When you fall asleep while eating you are certainly tired.

I peed a little at that Roxie video. I've only watched it 4 times and it gets funnier and funnier every time.

That Roxie movie should be on funniest home videos. You would win for sure. Remember, as old as you are....I will always be older. Woah...
