For some reason, Mallory is on this Disneyworld v Disneyland thing and was asking Carson if he wanted to go to DisneyLAND since we only have ever been to DisneyWORLD (actually, Mal, you’ve been to DisneyLAND but seeing as how you were only 7 weeks old, I can see why you don’t remember).
Carson, not having any idea what his sister is asking, smartly agrees with is bossy older sister and says “YETH! I GO TO DITHNEYLAND!”
I asked Mallory if she knew we could probably go to Disneyland if Michigan made it to the Rose Bowl this year and that she …

You drive me CRAZY
My no-more-naps Mallory is struggling with some self-control. I’ll admit, she comes by it honestly but HONESTLY – she is out of control sometimes. It’s killing me.
After dance class, I muttered under my breath “argh – you are driving me crazy!” and Mallory with the super-hearing-power says “What mom? I drive you crazy?”. I told her yes, she is driving me crazy.
MCB: “We talked about that at school today.”
STB: “You talked about what at school today?”
MCB: “About driving our moms crazy.”
STB: “When did you talk about this?”
MCB: “At lunch.”
STB: “Who said they drove their moms crazy?”
MCB: “Just me …
The Many Outfits of Mallory
To quote my friend Shauna: “Honestly”.
After school one day, Mallory wanted to change out of whatever she had on that day – she ran upstairs and was gone for forever. When I asked what the deal was she said she needed help with her belt.
I went to the bottom of the stairs and looked up and saw her dressed like this.
I admire her creativity but the polka dot shirt and plaid shorts with shiny pink belt was quite an outfit. She’s worn this ensemble a few times since then and it makes me laugh and shake my …
Wow
MCB: “Carson! When you were taking a nap we sawed the FROG on the GRILL and I sawed it and then I SCREAMED when it started to jump at me!!!”
CWB: “Wwwwooooooowwwwwww.”
Summertime
Kids + melting food colored flavored ice = outside on the lawn, please.
Evolution of a Bathroom
Well, we’ve been in our house for over a year (still haven’t had that housewarming party – oops!) and we are slowly tackling projects. Rick painted Mallory’s bedroom right when we moved in (she wanted “three walls pink, one wall purple”) and then we did our guest bath (I think I blogged about that?) and we (or rather Rick) finally moved on to the kids’ bathroom. It was the only room that really needed to be painted except I’m growing to hate all the other colors of paint in the rest of our house – but not enough to paint …
Mr. Clean
Remember how I told you that Carson cleared his own plate when we were up north?
Here are the pictures.
Yes he’s wearing his sister’s pink sunglasses and pink & blue flipflops.
Dashing Warriors
So I ran the first race I ever signed up for the other day. This was the one that got me to start actually trying to run this spring, and then I ran that other 5K in June – which was the first race I’d ever run. But the race today was the first one I ever signed up for.
But this wasn’t just any race, it was the Warrior Dash.
And this is what the Warrior Dash is: Warrior Dash is a mud-crawling, fire-leaping, extreme run from hell. This fierce running series is held on the most challenging and …
Carson. Almost 28 months.
My. Kid. Is. A. Genius.
I’m listening to Carson count to 15.
