USPS

Your check is in the mail..... somewhere!


So I am well aware that the ancient art of sending a payment through the good 'ole United States Postal Service is so very 15 year ago, but I do find myself doing it from time to time.  

And so I did. 

30 days later, my payment has not arrived in Illinois.

So I ask, where are you little check? 

Have you gotten yourself stuck on the bottom of that big blue mailbox?
Did you find yourself hidden under the seat in the mail truck?
Have you arrived at a strangers mailbox instead of our agreed upon destination?

 Where are you little check?
I miss you so!

toddler talking...

A few of our favorite sayings from our two year old...

Mom:  "Ty, why don't you keep your socks on?"
Ty:  "Because then I can't march!"



Ty:  "La  La La"  (singing in the car holding his snack cup)
-thump- 
-pause-
Ty:  "Uh Oh"
-pause-
Ty: "I can't sing! I lost my cup!"

 Our camping weekend got completely rained out, so we quickly changed our plans and went to the circus!

Cort's first haircut!





Cort got his first haircut!  Although it appears that there isn't much hair to cut (all business),  you should have seen the party (mullet) in the back!
Let's just say it didn't quite go as hoped!







It seemed to be quite an unpleasant experience for him!   Maybe it was the adorable kids cheetah print cape that threw him off :)

Thanks to our wonderful hairdresser Jodi who managed a haircut amidst the movement and tears!
