cheap thrills

Who knew a cheap pair of Groucho Marx glasses would be so much fun?



I bought Bekah a pair a few days ago and she loves them! In fact, the next day she just HAD to wear them everywhere we went. Everywhere ended up being Gavin's school and the store. I'm sure she ended up being known as the girl with the Groucho Marx glasses!




Of course, Gavin had to try on the glasses, too.



Woah, where did the vampire come from?! Isn't he the cutest little vampire, though?

Silverback Gorilla

Just the other night, my mother-in-law came over and was playing with the kids. All of a sudden I heard this dreadful sound. It was the sound of my mother-in-law dry heaving. And not just a normal dry heaving sound. It was a from-the-tip-of-your-toes-dry-heaving-that-sounds-like-the-mating-call-of-a-silverback-gorilla-sound.

Seriously.

What was the cause of this obnoxious sound, you ask?

My four year old was chasing her around with a booger on his finger.

I think that the expression on my face when this happened was probably priceless. I remember I was staring at her with an "Are you kidding me?" look on my face. At first I thought she was kidding! But after I realized that she was REALLY dry heaving, I kept thinking, "If she pukes on my carpet, she's cleaning it up!!"

She didn't puke.

But I sure did have the best laugh that I've had in ages.

And Erin and I had fun that night in bed doing the dry heaving impersonations!!

(Sorry, Amber :) You know we love you...but darn it, this was such a good story!!)
