OK- So here's my problem with blogging. I use it as a form of journaling. I realize that nobody is near as interested in my kids, and the funny things they say and do, as I am. But for the first time in my life, I am documenting things! (complete with pictures!) Here lies the problem. Some of the things that I think are funny, and want to remember- I don't really want to share with the rest of the world! (who am I kidding?! Does anyone even read this?) When you are a stay at home mom, and your main communication is with children, I think you (me) loose a little good judgement. That should somewhat explain this series of pictures. (and the rest of the totally inappropriate pictures that continue to fill my archive!)
Crew LOVES to play in the toilet! Any chance he gets! He checks the bathroom door several time a day hoping that it will be open. (for those of you that are thinking- just close the lid... he's way ahead of you! He was thrilled the first time he realized that he could open it himself) I know I have said it before, the girls NEVER did anything like this. I may have been doing this mom thing for 8 years now- but this kid is throwing me for a loop!
In my defense- he has done this several times, and I promptly began the sanitation process. (without taking any pictures) This time, for some reason, it seemed like a good idea to turn it into a photo shoot. I can't take all of the blame for my lack of good judgement. He is ADORABLE! He makes me melt. I think everything he does is cute. I think this weakness of mine may cause problems later in life. I guess I can always hope his dimple fades with age!
Right as I am snapping this picture, Elle, with all of the wisdom and good judgement of a 5 year old, says "Mom? I think that's enough. It's really gross." Yeah. She's right. I think it is evident that I will probably never be trading stocks on Wall street, having power lunches with my colleagues, or entertaining foreign dignitaries. I will probably never solve the worlds hunger problem, or unite 2 political parties. While some days I may long for lunch and a good (kid free) conversation with Diesta, most any other day- I am perfectly content just keeping my kids out of the toilet.

hahaha. Is it just boys then? Girls don't do this??? Parker is ALWAYS eyeing the bathroom....just waiting for someone to not close the door all the way. I love how happy crew looks, so satisfied with himself :) I know what you mean about not knowing where the line is for pictures...I have a great picture of Brady...naked...asleep on the bathroom floor...but maybe not appropriate for public forum? I'm still debating :)
The dimple is NOT going away...he's just going to get cuter by the day! Hey, maybe the germs from the toilet will make him have an immune system of steel! You know we don't mind all the pictures...we're all moms who completely understand!:)
Some day you will be able to bribe him with these pictures. So funny! He is so cute. On another note....We would love to have "band practice" with you guys sometime. Lets set a date.
I think the kid's magazine is just a smaller, maybe quarterly publishing? It's not a big one...Maybe 6 x 8 in size...120 pages or so. I love the craft ideas too....
Hey, we always read your blogs... and love em. We're just glad Logan's not the only one with a toilet obsession. Anway, we love the pictures. Keep it up!
Dale-The workout "machine" on my blog is called the Fluidity Bar. It basically a free-standing ballet bar. If you want to see more you can see it on fluidity.com. And yes I saw this infomercial like 2 years ago and told Jasen I was getting it no matter what he said. I had to have it.
