Karma

Izak splashes Dave.

Dave splashes Izak.

Izak starts to cry and throw a fit.

Kate explains to Izak that if he doesn't want Dave to splash him then he shouldn't splash Dave.

Dave tells Izak it's called Karma.

Izak tells Dave he doesn't want to play Karma anymore.

And speaking of Karma....

A month or so again I went to the zoo with some friends.

 A bird pooped on my friend's baby's head. 

I laughed. 

An hour later a bird pooped on my baby's head. 

How about you-when was the last time Karma "pooped" on your head?

Just One of Those Days

Today was just one of those days...

...when I would've been a better mother if I had just stayed in bed all day....

...when I talked through clenched teeth for fear of the unidentifiable screaming that would have ensued had I opened it...

...when I had to be reminded by my four-year-old that he is special and should be treated as such...

...when I got rained on from the top bunk (in the form of spit) courtesy of my one-year old.

...when I wanted to lock my children in a room together until I no longer heard crying and fighting...

...when the only one dressed was the self-dressing four-year-old...

...when I wanted to feed my children cookies for lunch...

...when my children looked cuter when they were sleeping...

You thought I was kidding about the pajamas didn't you?

Kids Adults Say the Darndest Things

Male relative: Kate, are you pregnant?

Me: (child is already 1 1/2 years old and NOT pregnant) Why, do I look pregnant?

Male relative: Um, um, well, yeah, kind of.

Me: No, male relative, I am not.

Costco worker (while looking at my costco id): Is this you?

Me: Yes. I know, bad picture huh? (Who has a good Costco picture, tell me that!)

Costco worker: Wow. That is bad. I thought it was your mom.

Me: Oh really? (Apparently, it looks much worse than I gave myself credit for.)

Costco worker: Yeah, that is really bad. (As she gets the attention of fellow worker) Look at this, isn't that such an awful picture?! It totally looks like her mom. Wow, that's bad!

So, in honor of ONLY turning 30 (and not my mom's age!) and NOT being pregnant, I will be flying my bad self to New York City on July 16th!

And just for your viewing pleasure, I went ahead and scanned my Costco picture into my computer so you can see it for yourself. 

What Does He Know Anyways?

So, the other day I was grabbing the jogging stroller from the garage. Unfortunately, the car was parked in the way, so I had to lift it up over the car (at least the tires) to get it out. As I was doing so Izak says, "Mommy, stop, you're scratching the car!". Riiiight. Like a jogging stroller is sharp enough to scratch a car. 

So, of course, I ignored him. I mean, seriously, what does a little 4-year-old know anyways? 

Apparently he knew 12 inches more than I did.

Maybe next time I'll listen.
