Daddy come home! it's a jungle here!

I thought i'd let you know what we did while you weren't here. there was adventure, quality time, nudity and poop.  actually, it's the usual stuff. the only thing missing/missed is YOU. :)

Tommy's new obsession?  Mooning me.  i should never have laughed the first time. later i caught him observing his own "moon" in the oven's reflection.  weird. very weird!

not photographed YET noteworthy... katie approached me with very intense look on her face and touched my hand. staring into my face with SUCH intensity. it seemed like she wanted to HOLD my hand... with her single finger.  i was perplexed.  she kept trying to make me hold her finger...  then i realized what was happening.  she was wiping a booger on my hand!!!!  the upside of this story?  she's not an "eater". ;)

she THINKS she's made it!  she likes to run around the house sliding it on the hard floors. 		100_8668k.jpg (31773 bytes)
it's very annoying. it started after i took away all of her push toys. WOW! those are annoying		 100_8669k.jpg (36723 bytes)
i said "katie! you put that back!"  to which she responds...
"NO! YOU!"

i'm sure he'll work on his technique when i'm not looking!  		when i asked him what he was doing he said "cheesing my butt". (taking pictures is called "cheesing".)  i said "there will be NO butt-cheesing, here!)

Katie has been obsessively removing her clothes lately.  this morning she removed them... and snuck off to her room for a moment.  she came tearing out of there saying "uuuuuuuucky!" and crying hysterically.  "ucky" is katie-keith-code (hehe) for poop.  So, there she is. naked and hysterical.  also, noteworthy... it was NOT a "clean poop". nope. NOT clean.  how does one console a hysterical-naked-covered-in-her-own-shit baby?  ever-so-carefully. that's how. :)

one would think this picture was all
that one needed. but the real "essence" of the
turd wasn't captured with a single aerial shot!

paperclip for scale...
