Lame-O

Have you ever gotten all of your kids ready? Dressed, fed, combed, zipped, and mittened? Then led them hurriedly to the car so that you could go to play group and the store? Buckled everyone in? Put the key in the ignition?
And - - - - - - - - -
Turned the key - - - - - -
And - - - - -
Nothing
LAME-O!
That was our Friday. I was so bummed. So, so bummed. I popped the hood and thought just about every curse word that I could. Slammed the hood and packed all of the youngins back in the house.
After watching a consolatory episode of "16 and Pregnant" with my Caffeine Free Diet Dr. Pepper, I was ready to accept that I wasn't going anywhere. And thus, we salvaged the day.
And these pictures are what we have to show for it.
Look at this kid. Just look at him. He's so dreamy. Doesn't he just look like he parted his lips to recite a Robert Frost poem? I couldn't resist him and gave him like a ga-zillion kisses. To which he responded, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
I'm kidding. Seriously, he didn't say that. He said, "uhhhhh guuuuu." But I still thought it was brilliant.

Then there was this guy. I am not sure what I had asked him to do an impression of, but it still cracks me up. And no, I had not caught him in the middle of saying something. He held this pose for like 2 minutes while I laughed and got the camera. Also humorously noteworthy, the shirt that he buttoned up all by himself after completely undressing to do his bathroom business. What can I say? There must be something to his pooping in the nude because he is committed to it.

hahahaha! not to laugh at you but it's pretty funny...now.
fear not, calvin is not alone. all my boys have done the same thing and liam has finally realized that it's ok to leave your shirt on. i just don't get it. maybe it's a boy thing. very inconvenient when in public.
