Why?

Some things to ponder:

• Why does a two year old know exactly the noise that will slam into your head and then do it over and over?
• Why is spinach such a hated vegetable?
• Why do spiders like bathrooms so much?
• Why does the Halloween candy seem to be multiplying at night?
• Why are there always more dishes to do?
• Why can't school work be as exciting as video games?
• Why does an afternoon nap sound so good now and when I was 8 I hated the thought of a nap?
• Why does it feel so good to express the whys?
• Why is why the favorite question of small boys?

Here I am again.

Well, I'm not doing so well on this blogging thing. I think I am a serial lurker. I really enjoy reading the blogs posted by other people but am having a hard time thinking that any one would want to read about my family and me. Anyway here goes.

Nick is going to be defending his masters thesis next week. Can we say nervous wreck. He is getting a bit more freaked each day as it gets closer. I hope all goes well for him. And I hope we survive the stress in the house until he is done.

Turbo lost a tooth on Friday which necessitated a Tooth Fairy visit and wouldn't you know the tooth fairy almost forgot to come. Thank goodness Bruiser is still getting up to eat at 4:00am cause that's when the Tooth Fairy remembered that an exchange must happen. Amazing how much the Tooth Fairy looks like Nick.

Bruiser is not only crawling but also pulling up to stand now. He started this on Friday morning. Now he Can do it almost anywhere. And he's fast. He looks like the windup crawling babies but boy can he cover the ground. He is so proud of himself when he gets around. He has also discovered the joys of splashing in the dog water dish. Fun for all.

And then there's me. the only girl in sight around our house, just trying raise boys the one day will make me proud. I think I'm doing OK so far.
