Happy Mutha's Day 2009

Nie has inspired me, among other things, to include myself in more pictures on my blog as I chronicle our lives. This is our Mother's day afternoon. I love Devin in this outfit. I think he looks so handsome, and look how green everything is around us. Now I need to learn how to take timed pictures on my camera, so I can get all of us in.

Office Space

Damon got a desk for me last week from Craigslist and set up our office space. I told him, "now I feel like we are co-workers." The desk in our office has ALWAYS been a mess, and I always thought we co-created the mess. Now we know whose it really was.

Mine

Every day I mean to clean it.

Conversations around the house

Devin wanted to pry open the metal tab on a new box of Malt-o-Meal. When he accomplished this feat, he yelled, "I did it, I'm going to go tell Daddy I did it." jumped down from his stool, and ran to tell Damon, who was in the bathroom with the door closed, getting ready for work. From the kitchen I hear Devin yell, "Daddy, I did it." And then ran back into the kitchen and told me, "Daddy said, Yea!" Later Damon and I were laughing about it. Damon had said, "Oh, yea, what did you do?" To which Devin replied: "I did it!"

Brooklyn had a friend over this afternoon, and they were headed into the bathroom in their bathing suits to take a "swimsuit bath." Brooklyn yelled to her little friend, "Let me go first because I'm . . . . Brooklyn."

The kids are into potty talk lately. The other night Damon was reading to the kids. I came up the stairs to hear them talking about farting, and I hear Damon say to the kids, "We only talk about this with me, not with mommy, or other adults. Awesome (I know who he got this parenting tactic from!)
