field trip

eli had his first and only kindergarten field trip to mccloud's nature park in north salem. jerry got to go with him...they played some games, made a craft, and hiked some trails. daddy even brought home a tick!

i feel the earth move...

i forgot to post the most exciting news around indiana lately. we had an earthquake! some thought maybe their washer was off balance at 5:36am, others thought it was some crazy wind shaking their house from a spring storm, but then, oh yeah, it wasn't storming...anyway, it was the real deal...magnitude of 5.4 with the epicenter located somewhere in northwest illinois. it did wake us up with substantial shaking of our furniture, etc. the boys didn't wake up though, but i'm not certain they would wake if to a tornado hit our house. a few aftershocks occurred later in the day, but no one was injured and it just made great 'extra news' for everyone to talk about all morning.

dmx

just an fyi...if you're in need of cough medicine, even children's, you're gonna have to be 18 years old. i went to cvs to buy some for the boys and when i was checking out the lady said, "um, you have to be 18 to buy this because it has dextromethorphan in it." my response, "ok. well, i'm 31, so can i buy it for my sick kids?!" i proved it with my id and she was a little embarassed and said she thought i may have been 19 at the most. i guess that's supposed to be a compliment, but it never feels that way. anyway, i knew kids were using "dmx" to get high, but i didn't realize they were carding for cough medicine. good idea i guess, but so sad really.

green

who decided that only girls could paint their nails anyway?? caleb saw my nails painted (which i rarely do!) and thought they were "beautiful". he asked if i could paint his green since that's his favorite color. i looked at jerry and wondered how do you explain to a 3 year old who just wants his nails his favorite color that it's not okay. therefore, caleb now has one hand of green nails that he is very proud of. p.s. jerry agreed to this.
