BathHawk vs. BedHead

Who will win? You decide...

"Put down that box of broken glass Charlie!"

As a Mom you do everything you can to protect your children, unless you are trying to cook dinner and your child is tugging on your pant leg while you carry a pot of boiling water to the sink. In that case you will do anything to keep that child entertained and away from your generally klutzy legs. Short of playing with rat poison, an actual rat or sharp knives the boy can entertain himself with anything that will keep him out of my hair for at least 10 minutes.

The other night he played in the freezer. Not so great for the electric bill or the planet, but damnit, I got dinner finished without a single pot of boiling water being spilled on anyone.

As I write this he's bringing me all the contents of the food cabinet. I'm surrounded by custard powder, peanut butter, coffee and taco shells. But hey, I got to post something finally! Totally worth the clean up. Who wants tacos?!

Sorry about the horrible noise I managed to create at the end. Utterly ear shattering.

Charlie laughed so hard in the bath this night that he pooped in the tub! You can sorta make it out under his left elbow.

Best Photos EVER!

We had an amazing photo session in Portland with Xea! She's a great photographer and mother, not to mention the fact that she played a big part in who I am as a person.
Charlie was very well behaved and had a good time hammin' it up for the camera. Check em out...

As I've reached my upload limit on Flickr (what? why a limit?) my next blog will be a picture post of Chachi's christening right here on blogger. His head's all wet and he's in his Sunday best! God said he was the cutest baby in the church...or was it in the world? Either way God was totally high fiving him all day.
