While C was in DC, L and I making 7 minute bow-tie noodles (takes 25mins) ; I suggest she try some butter on them --she trys it .... L says: "What have I been missing out on ?!"

Lauren and I at O'Hare heading to Co-Springs....very busy/small/confusing terminal-concourse E?

At the scheduled departure time, we get in "a line" and start toward the ticket-check.  L looks up at the monitor and says, "Dad, where's Aspen?" .... we're supposed to be flying to Colorado Springs-OY! .... we laugh and quickly get out of this wrong line.

Burpee seed catalog

During dinner, L and I reviewed the latest Burpee seed catalog-getting the gardening juices flowing. As we flipped the pages, Lauren was so excited about all the pretty flowers and veggies....and she said: "Let's just get every single thing in this book!" ....awesome!

more kid humor

this past week, Lauren was saying that her arm pits and then her leg pits and her neck pits were hot...

good quote...

Tonight, while eating dinner, Lauren was eating some bread and said:

"I love crust...if it had lips, I would kiss it." ~love it!

ant-plants

after leaving mass and driving past a home across the street from Church, Lauren says... 'hey, there are a lot of ant-plants there.' ~meaning peonies...which typically have a lot of ants on them :)

all right

"Corn chips are my favorite corn!"
