4 Year Old Humor

Avery has been very into jokes lately. Papa told him a riddle a few weeks back and Avery has been set on trying to make up his own. So I thought I could teach him a knock-knock joke. You know the one...

Me: Knock-Knock

Avery: Who's there?

Me: Banana.

Avery: Banana who?

Me: Knock-Knock

Avery: Who's there?

Me: Banana.

Avery: Banana who?

Me: Knock-Knock

Avery: Mommy, I think you should ring the doorbell.

Eh-hem. Why didn't I think of that? ;-)

38 Days Til Christmas

Why is it that the stores feel it necessary to smack the Christmas shit up before Thanksgiving is even over?! We went to get diapers this evening and a certain discount superstore (that shall remain nameless since it will become the fall of US civilization as we know it, lol) has decided that it's perfectly reasonable to play Christmas carols...all ready...like right now they're streaming in over your head. I couldn't believe it. And guess what was over in the greeting cards? Yup, Valentines. It's not even December yet for pete's sake. I mean common...gimme a break!

4 Year Old Humor

The weather has been pretty lousy here lately and I suppose the rain is putting everyone in a dreary mood. It's hard to look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas when you're being pelted with hail the size of gravel and rain drops with a vandetta. We got home Friday night from running errands and were met with the latter.

Avery: Momma, can I get out now?

Me: Yes but get out on Tristan's side because it's raining. (My logic being that Tristan's side is closer to the door so Avery would get less wet if he went through rather than around the van.)

Avery: Umm...Mommy?

Me: Yes Bean?

Avery: It's raining on Tristan's side too.

Ohhhhh my... :-)

It's Getting Colder

Well...I can't believe how this year is flying past. It's getting colder outsied here in NEO and the leaves are flying (along with the occasional snowflake.) The boys are geared up for sledding (please not anytime soon, lol.) School is going well, we're approaching the end of term and I have around a B average across the board. Not as good as I'd hoped but not terrible. I've been a little down this term and I'm not sure why. Anyway...just a little blurb for now.
