Yesterday I brought two kids to the orthodontist. We came with ones set of braces, and left with one set of braces, but for some reason the orthodontist still felt that I should pay for a whole second set! Harumph! #fliptheswitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CHMor8NFueq/?igshid=1wrd32itznt7n

My 9-year-old twin boys are playing a game they made up called "Taste Buds or Nipples." Apparently if one chooses "taste buds" he has to close his eyes while the other puts some item or concoction of his choice into his brother's mouth. I haven't asked what happens if they choose "nipples." I think I'm not gonna. #ignoranceisbliss #boys https://www.instagram.com/p/B8xas5mlqVj/?igshid=1rml00rnrmmce

Just a regular ol’ morning, starting off with a simple breakfast.

We like to handle potty things by ourselves, thank you very much. (And no, I’m not interested in that little green potty down there. Can’t fit as much toilet paper in it.

Party at the fire station.

For sale at my kids' garden stand: cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, peppers, thyme, basil, mint, sage, oregano, homemade zucchini muffins, and eggs from our backyard chickens. I probably looked like the neighborhood hippie (I think I am that, actually)

My kids' little garden stand they did in our neighborhood (this idea started because I have too many cucumbers). They had so much fun.

Because when Thing One came frantically running and crying to me that "my penis is hurting my penis is hurting! " and that he tried to stick something his penis, and that his nose was hurting too, it took me a while to figure out what was actually going on. Which with this: I asked him what he tried to stick in his penis and he said it was some fabric. I asked him to show me and he took me upstairs and showed me a piece of yarn (freaking out and crying all the while). This made no sense. We started a shower, which he said hurt more (and by "said" I really mean hysterically cried). I went downstairs to talk to Thing Two and saw this little mess and put it all together. Apparently, whilst I was busy, the Partners in Crime were playing with some bird seed. The kind that is drenched in cayenne pepper to keep the squirrels away. They played with it for a while, after which he wiped his nose, and fiddled with his penis. Voila! Really painful yarn. The poor kid will laugh about this someday, but not today. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure he will never touch that yarn again.
