Goldfish – CAN over eat…

March 9, 2009

Apparently goldfish CAN eat until they’re dead! Nicholas dumped half a new bottle of fish food into the fish tank, and in running around the house last night we never got a chance to fully clean out the tank. That Las Vegas buffet of fish flakes was apparently too much for our fish, and they’re both KIA.

To make the morning even more fun, Nicholas found a plastic stick and thought it’d be fun to tap/bang on the kitchen chandelier… I spent some time this morning picking up a few glass shards and fragments.

Lauren gets a sprained ankle

February 28, 2009

Yesterday, Lauren was playing hopscotch in the kitchen on her “Little Einstens” hopscotch toy.  Unfortunately she misstepped at one point and apparently sprained her ankle.  We put an ice pack on the ankle, and took care of Lauren the rest of the night.

When she awoke, she still couldn’t put much weight on it and was complaining of pain.  Long story short, we ended up keeping her from school and took her to urgent care.  They took an xray and didn’t immediately see any fractures or anything like that, but there were some areas that were still questionable.  As a result, we’ve got a specialist appt for next week, and Lauren is wearing a cast.

All night long, Lauren has been milking this extra attention.  It’s pretty amusing, actually…

I’m going to get fired! – Thomas

December 20, 2008

Thomas (4) was helping to wrap presents this morning.  He took the initiative to wrap up a couple of DVDs for us. The first one was kind of a mess, because rather than take a single large piece of paper, Thomas cut out several smaller pieces and taped them all onto the DVD.  It looked okay at the end however, because he made sure to tape up all the seams with about half a role of scotch tape.

When he was done, mommy said, “Wow! Thomas you could almost become one of Santa’s elves!”  Thomas replied…

I don’t want to be an elf, because I’m going to get fired.

Uh, “fired”?  How does he even know about getting fired???  So, we asked him why he thinks he’ll get fired.

Because I’m going to get fired if I don’t make toys.
