This totally cracked me up.  It’s a quote from the weekly pregnancy e-mail update I get.

Pregnancy survival skill: How to get out of a soft chair

Put your feet flat on the floor and bend from the hips. Push on the armrests with your hands! Use your stomach muscles. If upward motion is still elusive, pick up your magazine and yell for more mint-chip ice cream. (Standing up is totally overrated anyway.)

*****Yayyy!  My techie hubby got things back up and running!  Apparently it was a silly plugin that was causing all the problems.  For those of you that still check this blog, I’m probably going to be posting a lot in the next few days to catch up.*****

“MMmmmm…randomly grabbing things down from counters is a good thing to do when you’re still hungry and Mommy’s busy!”

Memorial Day here was spent relaxing, resting, and for me, catching up on laundry, and housework.  It may sound boring, but it was a really nice, lazy day, where the house was cleaner at the end(which is always a huge plus!)  While I was busy sorting through mounds of laundry in the master bedroom, Darius was busy enjoying the holiday too, in his own way.

This is what I happened upon at one point:

He got my pastry cutter out of my baking drawer and the flour tub out of the pantry.  How did he know those things go together anyways?  Of course I had to take some pictures before rebuking him. 

Drinking Daddy’s cold “poffee”.  He actually guzzled it.  It was absolutely hilarious and kinda’ shocking and scary.
(Disclaimer: we don’t actually encourage this kind of behaviour aside from giving him small sips of our coffee )

“Uh, Oh!”  ” Methss!”
