Morning Laughs

So my sister Beth sent me this email list called "Undeniable Adult Truths".  Some of them were actually pretty spot-on, so I thought I'd repost some of it here so you can get a good morning laugh like I did.

Undeniable Adult Truths

1. Nothing stinks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. 
2. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
3. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
4. How the heck are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? 
5. Was learning cursive really necessary? 
6. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. 
7. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. 
8. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. 
9. Bad decisions make good stories. 
10. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day. 
11. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.. 
12. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to. 
13. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. 
14. I think the freezer deserves a light as well. 
15. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. 
16. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

A Moment of Silence

Well, it has finally happened.  The camera has finally died.  It's been limping along with limited capacity for about a year now (thanks to a certain little man who used to chew on it when he was a baby), yet I haven't replaced it.  Why?  Because I wanted to save up and get one of those nice, fancy, expensive cameras that several of my friends have and I covet like a sinner.

But now?  We just need a camera.  You can't have a new baby and hilarious kids and just get by with a camera phone, after all! 

I guess the fancy one will have to wait a little longer...

A Boy and His Hat

Several weeks ago was pulling out our baby stuff, which included this neck-support liner for the car seat.  Connor quickly commandeered it and started wearing it around the house, calling it his "hat".  Whenever he got his hands on it, this is what I'd see:

Since the poor boy didn't have a cap of his own, I realized he had been driven to desperate measures.  We needed to rectify the situation.  So, on our next trip to Wally World, we went by the kids' department to look at their hats.  Fortunately for us, they still had some in stock from the summer.  As an added bonus, they were all on sale for $2 a piece.

I showed Connor the selection of hats, and he picked his favorite: Spiderman with the a flap that snaps up or can be let down to cover his neck.

Of course, he always wears it snapped up.  In fact, he always wears it now, period.  I think he's had the hat for about 3 weeks, and I'm not sure I've seen his hair except at bath-time and church.  This morning when I got up, this is what I saw:

The first thing he does in the morning is put on his hat.  He doesn't take it off until bedtime.  In fact, Ben insisted that he take it off during dinner last night, and it resulted in many tears and crying. 

I guess you just can't separate a southern boy from his hat.
