Try this at home kids.

Today, poor Ruth (Carter's day child care) was sick. This meant I got to have a home free day today. Sure, it comes out of my sick time, but really-a free day home with your kid when you are least expecting it, not to shabby.

NOW-let's forget for the moment that Carter didn't nap this afternoon, and had a tough time after his nap this am (a combination of things-one of which is teething-of COURSE)

Try this at home.
1. Get an 11 x 17 piece of paper
2. Take it in both hands (with hands positioned on either side of the paper)
3. Place paper on your head
4. Slide it down the back of your head to your neck-attempting to rip it as you go down.
5. Wasn't that fun??


This was the newest craze today. He was a man on fire, and could not be stopped. So along with peek-a-boo (which Aidan from daycare taught Carter), and running through the kitchen and causing chaos, we had a wonderful day.

I hope Ruth is feeling better, but it was sure nice to have this sick day. Please Sir, may I have some more?
