the great minnesota butterfly-together:

Ella made some new friends while on her first trip to the Minnesota State Fair...we spent nearly 30 minutes in the butterfly room...she especially liked the 3 inch caterpillars. Overall, she didn't really care for the "...on a stick" concept. Personally I found the birthing Cows interesting, the babies are 130 pounds at birth...and I thought my kids were big...

Sometimes I eat my poop. by Grant Albrecht

So last night I pooped in my diaper. It leaked out both sides and ran down my legs. I found this cool trick, that when I sat down the poop would squish out the sides....so I did it over and over again until there was a puddle of poopie on my mama's rug. Then...guess what I did?! I scooped up a handful, and ate it! yup! and it was good....then mama saw me and put me in the tubbie. bummer, my fun ended.

last night:

Ella was climbing into bed holding the ends of a blanket around her neck like a cape. I asked her if it was a superwoman cape, she replied with "No, it's a night jacket. Do you have a night jacket?"

((What on earth is a night jacket?!))

It's official....I am a SOCCER mom, minivan and all...
