The big reveal... and a funny kid quote

Last night we sprang the surprise on R - he and Daddy were leaving today to go to Legoland!! They've just left for 4 days of dudeful good times -- Legos, aircraft carriers, aquariums, wild animals, beaches!! K is excited about the mexican food, too. I'm so excited for them.

and a little jealous.

So, it's girl's weekend around here - we already got the party rolling with an A+Mommy trip to Target. It really doesn't get any girlier than that around these parts.

I can't wait to share pics of their adventure (if they remember they have a camera).



Last night, A was doing her typical "I'm hungry" before-bed routine. K had offered her a few things and she has sniped back with some snarky retort each time. Finally, K had enough and this interaction followed:

K: If you want me to make you a snack, you really ought to try being nice.

A: I can't.

K: Really, it isn't all that bad.

A: Yes it is. Being nice makes me itchy.

and there you have it. I was not previously aware that snarkiness was medically necessary for A. Parents learn something new every day.

  1. S. just fainted when I told him the news. He's in shock. I'm not sure why? Jealousy? Envy? General despair?

    It's wonderful that they're doing that together - what a great idea! And what a great dad. *sigh* Sometimes they're just so darn thoughtful!

    And A. Just freakin' funny. She's one of a kind - I can hardly wait until she's my daughter in law!

  2. I'm so happy they're off together doing "guy stuff" - if R had known about it ahead of time, I'm sure he would have insisted we include his "lego buddy" S.

    A looks forward to dating (both of) your sons and making your hair turn gray. She really, really does.
