it's not easy being green


oh ollie, your adventures in food coloring proved to be popular!


-no, i didn't really get angry. when things like this happen i tend to be pretty quiet and just do what needs to be done. you know, like take pictures.

-and yes aubry, i did indeed use baby wipes to clean it up! it wiped it all off the floor like the champs that baby wipes are. seriously, baby wipes are my go-to for anything. if i was stranded on an island i would want baby wipes... if i was oprah it would be baby wipes for all (you get baby wipes! you get baby wipes!)... if i had to pick my most-loved household item it would be baby wipes. dirty feet? baby wipes. runny nose? baby wipes. sticky fingers? baby wipes. and entire pot of laura mercier lip stain in mulberry smeared all over the torso and arms of a toddler? baby wipes.

- some of you were probably thinking, "a poopy diaper? that kid looks five!" you see, i am a firm believer in waiting till the last, possible minute to potty train my children. i like to wait till they're good and ready. and it's worked for me so far. i should write a book! i would call it, "the procrastinator's guide to potty training".

- he did look like the hulk for two days, but nothing a little dunk in the ymca pool couldn't take care of.

"like swimming at a walmart"

I could totally be your co-author for that book.

yes. and yes. on the potty training thing. i was just asking kim, "what's your hurry? sarah's only three!" i like the CHILD to be potty trained. not the mommy. (you know when you have to ask them every 15 minutes if they have to go. that is NOT potty trained.)

okay. off my soap box.

now, i have another question. do you actually swim?

Lisa-Marie said...

oops. that question sounded rude. i didn;t mean it to. i've just never seen you or heard of you swim. man, you're making all kinds of big strides. like wearing shorts and all.

so, that sounded a little rude too. but i'm not changing it, cause you know i'm not trying to be rude, right?!?!?! just proud!

oh heck no! you were right... i don't swim! ollie's in swim lessons (a whole other fun story) but i just sit and watch (and/or hide so he doesn't keep running to me.)

anyway, you know me well, lisa!

ooh, and shorts. i hate them.
