More best laid plans...

I have approximately 1300 (ok, so 1308) pictures from our most recent nearly two week jaunt out into the desert. We went to Joshua Tree National Park and had ourselves a ball. However, unless you're privy to (or savvy enough to find) my flickr account, you'll just have to hold your horses! Life in the fast lane of school and Marriage Encounter is grand!

Oh, and I'll also add that Little Dude has discovered the direct connection between going pee and poop in the potty, and getting a car. Cruisin' Ramone, Piggy, Pit Crew Doc, Pit Crew Filmore, Woody, etc. He's got quite the collection, and I'm a happy mama! And for those who are counting, 7 pees or poops earns a car. So it's definitely not a one for one exchange, unless you count the one for one exchange for stickers. Little Dude loves stickers!

Best laid plans...

I intended to grace you with another post or ten of pictures and whatnot that I've been saving up. Or, maybe I'll just go to sleep. I'm tired! Little Dude has been making a habit of visiting multiple times per night. *yawn* Good night!

Don't worry!

If you have a kid or more than one kid, I'm sure at one time or another, you've sat and listened in on a conversation, or monologue from your child. I still enjoy each and every snippet I catch. Here's an example from our little Mighty Man, talking about and to a Western Fence Lizard he had caught. He had the terrarium out, and was prepared to keep the poor unsuspecting reptile for all time. At one point, the lizard warmed up sufficiently to run away, but not far enough...

An announcement to anyone within earshot: "Don't worry, I'll capture him again!"

After some time and considerable effort to catch the poor guy: "Wewl, apparently he doesn't want to be captured again. Oh, but don't worry, I'wl get him in there again, even though he doesn't want to be captured again."

And then after the lizard was safely secured within the terrarium: "Don't worry, widdle wizard, you can poke your head out waiter (later)."

The poor lizard! He needed just a few more minutes in the sun to get his runnin' away legs warm enough, lol!
