Crumb-snatchers-I Love Mine!
Saturday, at breakfast, Wy pretended he was shootin things and JD got the giggles bad! For anyone who loves to hear a baby giggle, or you just need a giggle yourself, these are our crumb-snatchers sharin that brotherly love: (oh, and by the way, I've just taken Wy out of JD's crib 4 times in 20 minutes! NO! I'm not fibbin, even a little bit! He's doggone adamant about sleepin with his brother)
Later that day, Wyatt came in and handed me a flower.
This is what he said: 'Here mama. I got you a flower. It's my favorite. It from a bush. You like it?'
Like it? How 'bout LOVE it? I'm not a sap, but that will cinch up the heartstrings up faster than you can say hogwoller. I couldn't help but grab him and tell him that I absolutely loved it and loved him and that I'd never let him go to college or get married or even go to Kindergarten! He can't have a first kiss or take any girl to the prom. He can't even have a first date! Now I'm cryin just thinkin of all this. Maybe I am a sap. Damn! I hate when that happens. I know they'll grow up and I know all that other stuff is comin too but I'm not ready for it. So in the morning, I pray the day goes by very slowly so I can enjoy every minute of it with my boys- even if it is haulin the oldest out of little 'brudder's' crib 4 times before they finally go to sleep.
I have a hunch this man was behind the flower thing.
He's good at that.

The Sun Dance Doesn't Work
Last night we did what all normal people do-'cept those who are a coupla cards short of a full deck: We grilled during impending rainstorms.
My aunt, uncle, cousin AJ, and his girlfriend Jordan were all here. We tried the Sun Dance last night to ward off the rain. It didn't help so much, but at least it was only sprinkles instead of a downpour. I swear there's somethin goin on. Kansas is in some kinda global warming atmospherical phenomenon that keeps dumpin rain in our area. Other places around the world have them and they're called Monsoons, or rainy seasons. I lived in PNG and we had rainy seasons. Never thought I'd see a rainy season in Kansas, of all places.
We had to come up with somethin to save the fire. I had an idea of usin our extra umbrella and the grill-master, for some crazy reason, was complainin because he wouldn't be able to stand under the umbrella. Hey! We don't care if YOU get wet! All we care about is the fire and the chicken you're grillin for us! Now get to work!
Grill he did! That chicken was the best-tastin BBQ'd chicken I know I've ever had! I'm not exaggerating or tryin to make E feel good (although I do like to do that-not exaggerate, but make him feel good). It was GOOD! The chicken had a smoke flavor to it like none other! I guess the rain did us a small favor anyway. We had a good spread of chicken, my roasted/seasoned potatoe cubes and steamed corn. While I was startin the fire, Hoss kept escaping down the driveway. I was out of breath from haulin him back up the drive so many times. We ended up tyin him off to the bumper of the truck so he wouldn't get away. It didn't damper his spirits. He was still just happy to keep tryin.
