We take a "break" from our regularly scheduled updates to share some laughter... yes, we still have plenty of laughter...

Braeden cracks me up, often. While he is quite the handful at times, and at times this is an understatement, he is great at making me laugh (unfortunately he knows this and uses it often to his advantage in times of trouble with mom!).

This was yesterday as we were checking out at the grocery store... with me continually calling for both Braeden and Liam to stay by me... after they had each had their own mini cart and had done a great job in the store... they were now getting into trouble as I was occupied with the checkout process...

This morning Braeden was reading one of his "bag books" from school to me. In it it was telling about chickens and at one page that was saying how a hen "pants to cool itself off..." Braeden was searching the page and I could not figure out what he was looking for, so I asked. He said, "I'm looking for it's 'pants'." I started laughing and had to hold my mouth so I didn't do it too much. I said, "Braeden, they mean 'pants' like how a dog 'pants' when it's hot" and I showed him what that looked like. He just got this huge grin and started giggling, realizing his mistake. So funny!

Tonight we went out to dinner at a local buffet. The kids had been playing in the dress up stuff and Liam wore a lovely strand of pearls out to dinner, while Braeden chose butterfly wings. And yes I let him wear them! Just like I showed him how to do this...

Come on, admit it, you're digging the wings aren't you!? :) LOL
