They Keep Me Laughing, Oh Yes They Do

The big kids have kept me laughing this week.

No, these are not the big kids. I realize this. I am not that sleep-deprived.

Nothing to do with this post, just, you know, some outtakes from the latest Nudey Photoshoot.

Our street has speed bumps and the other night as we were driving home, Leo was grumbling about it being "too bumpy." (When Leo is tired and cranky it is truly stunning what he will find to grouse about.) That's when he asked me to get rid of the speed bumps.

"Mommy can't get rid of the speed bumps, Leo," announced Ellie. "She's not a builder!"

This morning I dashed upstairs for literally seconds to grab my phone, before we left for school. I don't like to leave the babies "free range" these days but in this case, Harry was eating Cheerios in his high chair and it was just Lucy on the carpet in the living room with Leo and Ellie who "promised to take care of her." I figured she'd be OK for a few seconds.

As I made my way to the bedroom where I knew my phone was, I heard this, from Ellie:

"OK, Leo, you get Lucy's arms, I'll get her legs."

Um, time to go back downstairs!

Has Ellie considered a career in stand up? So hilarious! Thinking of you guys! :)

I'm suddenly thinking about circuses & flying trapezes. What were they planning to do with little Lucy?
