Sweet Dreams

It all started with an itsy bitsy spider.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

At first glance, it may go unnoticed that there is a spider in Peter's hand.

A more subtle oddity is the dinosaur, which is strangely hanging upside down on the drawer handle in the background.

Even more subtle is the fact that David is secretly hiding crayons behind his back. A green and blue one, to be specific. Oddly enough, those are also the same colors of two new and rather mysterious markings on one of our nice white pillows. This picture is proof that David is not only planning his mischievious activities in advance, but that he also knows he should not be doing them. We will be setting up surveillance cameras in the boys' room next week.

Grams was over today to watch the boys while Angie and I went to get more pregger pics. I think these things look a little like ink blot tests sometimes. What do you see in this picture? I see a little butterfly who was NOT ALLOWED TO EAT SUGAR-COATED CEREAL AS A CHILD!

The doctor politely insisted that he was not that type of doctor and asked me repeatedly to get off of his sofa. Something about how his hand kept wandering to a little red button under his desk made me finally get up and leave. At least Nonameyet is doing just fine.

After work, I took the boys to the playground, where soccer ball turned into dodge ball. At one point, Peter snuck up on me and smashed me square in the face at point blank range. I mean, he really nailed me hard. I was so proud. My nose needed a little break, though, so we opted for a little brotherly squeeze-n-slide.

The weather was great, so we BBQ'd on the balcony and enjoyed some fresh corn on the cob. I had the camera out and was taking some pictures of the boys. After putting the camera down, I looked at Angie, who had corn smeared all over her cheeks, forehead and hair. I laughed, of course, and told her she might want to hose herself down after feeding.

She immediately panicked. 'Did you take a picture of me?' See, since starting this blog, she has somehow become paranoid that I will use pictures of her to embarrass her. No, of course not. Pictures aren't the only way.

Lazy Boy

Aaah, poor little guy's all tuckered out.

Maybe that's because the little monster had been terrorizing the shit out of the entire house all morning. Angie, Peter, the cat, our plants, my shoes, the trash, two boxes of puzzle pieces, and our curtains were all on David To Destroy list.

Peter was also a sleepy camper this morning. He was still dreaming away when the kids from downstairs rang. They ran in and jumped on Peter's bed, shook him, tickled him, sat on his head - nothing. They eventually got bored and disappeared again. Peter eventually got up, just in time for lunch.

After lunch, Angie took the boys to the zoo. At one point she sent me a message asking where I had put our year-long zoo pass, since I was the last one to use it. In my wallet, of course. Shit.

The lady at the zoo let them in for free anyway. She was either in a really nice mood or so completely sick of her job that she could care less that some dumbass dad hijacked the family zoo pass.

Angie went into the crowded gift shop at the zoo and one of the ladies there pointed at her and screamed 'Hey! Aren't you that lady that lost her kid here once?' See the June entry called The Vegan Circus, under the Ladder Talk section for Peter's worst part of the day. Hey, Angie - you're famous.
