Stress Relief...or Avoidance...

Chris said he can gauge how stressed I've been by how often I blog...or rather, the lack thereof. Ha. I think he's right...I'm tired of potty training (AHHH!) and teething and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning and and and...

So, in an effort both to cheer myself up and to further avoid the mountain of clothing and underwear that is my living room, I thought we'd delve into some of the funnier things my children have done lately.

Jane had gone to Draper with my mom and Chris and I took Megan along with us while we went grocery shopping. It was a long trip with several stops. Apparently it was pretty tiring.


She was smiling and talking one second, and the next her head flopped back and she was sound asleep. She stayed that way for over twenty minutes, too.

Megan is very good at saying please...at least, knowing when to say please. Here's how she says it: ___________. She doesn't actually say anything. She just blows at you. Ha.

Jane got a hold of my camera yesterday. Let me tell ya, I was so excited when she brought it back to me with a mostly dead battery and covered in chocolate. Lovely. Most of her 66 new pictures looked something like this...



Of course, there were just a few that were actually in focus.

Name the movie! I'll tell you right now, you're wrong. ;)

How many pictures do you have of the inside of your toilet?

And how many of you have a green toilet?

I think, of everything, this was the most artistic of Jane's shots.


And this one looks like a regular picture of Megan.


We have had some success in potty training. To be fair, Jane has actually done very well, for the most part. We won't go into (gross) details here, but suffice it to say, we're not there yet. We did have one HUGE success that required elaborate celebration. Jane's chosen reward? Sunglasses.


My reward was one of the cutest Jane pictures we've had in quite a while.
