Arguing With A Three-Year-Old Over Shorts
(Benjamin comes out in jeans on a day where the high is over 80 degrees) Me: Benjamin, it's too hot for jeans, go put shorts on. Benjamin: No! Me: Yes! It's too hot for jeans! You need shorts! Benjamin: No! Me: (thinking: I am NOT washing those jeans AND shorts when...
My Day Off
I mentioned my past month has been a bit busy. So yesterday, our first normal day, I decided to take the day off. I didn't get up to run, even though I had missed my two previous runs as well (forgot to take my shoes on our last adventure, oops!). I didn't even get up...

Meet-and-Greet Monday: Burying Uncle Noah
Digging his own grave. Kinda. Helping. Burying. Packing it down. I'm sure he looks more comfortable than he really was... Extricating Uncle Noah was harder than he anticipated. There. Now it looks like he did it all by himself....
