poopoo

Thank you to Erick for the title...

I am happy to report that the boys had a blast with their sleepover. All went well and they had a ton of fun and stayed up WAAAAY too late. There was even a dance party which, if anyone is looking to get the kiddos dancing, might I suggest the Human Disco Ball. I wish I had videotaped the boys doing "the robot". Hilarious!

I am also happy to say that this is NOT something that we will be doing every weekend. There. I said it. I thought I could handle the "up all night" festivities, but the sad reality is that I am just getting old and at midnight I shuffled everyone off to bed where they stayed up chatting for who knows how much longer. Let's just say that when 7:45 AM rolled around the next morning and they were ready to get back to playing, I was not a happy camper. Surely they should know by now that Saturday mornings are for mama's beauty sleep.

But my grouchy discomfort aside, the important thing is that the boys had fun. At lunch yesterday Michael, Carson and another one of their friends were already planning the next sleepover which they were hoping would take place this Friday...which upon hearing I gently had to break it to them that we would have to wait awhile for the next one.

On the school front, Erickson brought home some... uh, interesting art work yesterday. Good Lord. Nothing like tarnishing the teacher's sparkling impression of yourself than to draw the following...
Let's just say that he was vague on his teacher's reaction to the drawing. Perhaps I will hear about it when I drop him off today???

I was reminded of the time when Michael brought home a drawing a few years ago of something that was covered in red splotches and when I asked if it was supposed to be blood he proudly replied, "Yeah, I told the teacher it was a flower!"

Clever boys.

And today's Erickism...after seeing a picture of Obama he asked me - "Does Barack Obama wear deodorant?"
