I thought it would be so much easier to pre-bag the cotton candy for the PTA carnival. What I didn't anticipate was the cotton candy craziness until midnight! INSANE!

You've gotta watch out when you have an adventurous 3 year old and it gets quiet. You might find this... At least he was careful!

Sweet Kyle came running up this afternoon, "Mom! Look what I picked for you!!" He was so excited over his dandylions, and so was I! After I gushed and flowed over them a bit he turned to Dad and said, "See, these are Mom's favorites!"

At the risk of being repetitive and having 2 sleeping Kyle pictures in a row, I just had to put this one in here. He climbed into my bed this morning and fell back asleep. When I went in to do something I found him snuggling with Mike's CPAP machine. I guess even he is looking for relief for his endless snoring. It made me smile!

"I not tired!! I don't need a nap!" Those were the last words I heard before I heard the snoring!

Ten year old boy talking to Zach at the natural history museum (pointing to a model of the earth): "See that? It's the center of the earth."
Three year old Zach: "It's called the core."
Ten year old boy: "No, it's the center."
Three year old Zach: "No it's the core. The inner core and the outer core."
Oh the memories that a model of the earth bring back!
