fly in timeout?
this morning jayden woke up with an itchy bug bite. he asked me if that bug's mommy made him have a timeout for biting him. jayden said "it's not nice for that bug to take such a big bite out of my back!"
i can just picture what's going through his mind as he's thinking about this "bite" and the bug being in timeout :)

it's not fair!!
this summer, it seems like my kids have been saying this phrase to me quite often... well tonight it's my turn :)
it's not fair that my husband got to take a 2 hour nap this afternoon. (he was planning to go for a long bike ride this afternoon while the kids napped... you know training for his triathlon in august!!!)
so here's what's not fair....AFTER his nap - he went for his long bike ride! urg! it's not fair!! :)

fixed a fish!
nope! not the kind that you eat... jayden got this plastic fish at the store.. when you pull the string - the tail moves and the fish swims in the water. i'm so proud of myself for fixing (the string would not retract) this fish (i took a picture and i'll post it soon!)
i have a chemical engineering degree - so i'm not a very mechanical person.. those FBD (free body diagrams) from statics (a mechanical engineering course) used to really confuse me!!! but i can balance the heck out of a chemical equation!!!!

708 miles in 3 days with 3 kids
yes! i travelled 708 miles in 3 days with 3 kids!!!
my mom's family had a reunion picnic on sunday and i decided that saturday afternoon i'd take the 3 kids to minnesota for the reunion on sunday afternoon. then we drove back today (monday).
the kids were good.... helen slept most of the way and the boys watched movies. the most challenging thing was trying to use the bathroom in mcdonald's (yes, the small stall) with 3 kids all in the stall with me! do you know how many times i said "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!!! i really had to use the bathroom, but didn't know where to put the kids! too bad i don't have a picture for that one!!! :)
