What the h*$@ is that?

Any guesses??

To most people it is a common twist-tie.  You know, used at the grocery store to tie the openings of bags shut.  Well, to Easton, it is a micro sword.  This morning he cased the entire grocery store bellowing, "On guard!!  Touche!!" while pointing his 3 inch, twist-tie sword at unsuspecting shoppers.  It matters not what it is.....to my little 3 year old boy....anything can be a sword.  I promise you, we did not teach him this.  It came free with his Y chromosome at birth.

We are all sorts of cRaZY over here

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Orange.

Orange who?

Orange you going out of your mind like I am with this LONG winter?

My children can no longer be contained.  My sanity is on the verge.  We've done every puzzle in the house (hundreds of times), we've built forts and gigantic lego structures, the Easy Bake oven has baked many 'o treats......play-doh, coloring, magic shows, dance-offs.....all in a days work.  This is going to sound like whacked-up blasphemy but as soon as the tiniest peek of Spring arrives I'm going to skip out the door, hop on my pink Schwinn and ride to a field to pick tulips.
