So, I realized I left Maya out of the storytelling yesterday. So here's a funny story about her.
When she was a baby, Maya would always cry in the car, as most, if not all little babies like to do. When she was like 2 weeks old, no lie, we realized that their was a certain song that would ALWAYS make her stop crying. The song: Mr. Roboto by Stix. She'd be crying and crying and as soon as we'd turn on Mr. Roboto, she'd instantly stop. It was magical, and it was fabulous. About a week after this discovery was made, it was no longer magical and fabulous. It was more like, "I swear if I have to listen to that bloody Mr. Roboto song one more time..." But it worked, and it always worked. A time finally came when she stopped crying in the car so much and Mr. Roboto was no longer necessary. It was a blessed time. After a little break from Mr. Roboto, w were able to listen to it again, just for fun. But then something happened and Maya learned how to talk. And lately when she's sad in the car she yells at me, "boto! boto! boto! boto! mom! mom! boto! mom! BOTO!". So as you can guess, I put on the bloody boto song. Listening to Mr. Roboto is better than listening to a nagging 1 year old. It's still her favorite, and I'm still sick of it. What a weird song for a little newborn-18 month old little girl to like.

Conversations You Never Thought You'd Have...
This evening, as I was making dinner, Lily came in and said, "Mom, Izzy pooped in the driveway". She already pees everywhere (outside), so unfortunately, I instantly believed her. I went outside and there it was. Izzy had, indeed, pooped in the driveway. (for those of you who don't know, Izzy is 4, and should know better) Thankfully, it wasn't in the MIDDLE of the driveway. She had enough sense to go poop in front of the little bush at the end of our driveway. Let me just tell you though, it was a turd of incredible size for such a young, dainty little girl. If I was her, and had that thing knocking on my bowels, I just might drop whatever I was doing and poo right there in the middle of everything as well. But not really, cause that's gross.
(ps: I made her pick it up with a tissue, and throw it in the dumpster)
Tonight was Lily's open house for school. She went outside with a few friends and played on the playground while we listened to the teachers presentation. It got dark while they were outside. On the way home, she told me that she was a little scared. But she feels safe with boys. Then she said that she feels safe with boys she has crushes on, because they are like her Knights to protect her. NO LIE, she really said that. Tonight, she happened to be with TWO boys that she had crushes on, so I'm sure that she felt extra safe. Good job Patrick and Will, for being Liliy's Knights of the evening.
I think I have my hands full!

Back to School!
It's back to school time here! I really shouldn't use an exclamation mark in that phrase. Back to school means I'll probably be blogging more as John does homework, which is good for YOU, the reader. That is, assuming anyone cares, and I still have readers. wah wah.
I am low on blogging ideas though. So here's what we'll do. YOU tell ME what you want me to blog about, ask me any question about anything, and I SWEAR that I will answer the questions in order of how they are asked. That might make this blog a little funner....right? woo hoo! And since you know I'll answer ANYTHING, try to not get me in trouble around here, and don't ask me anything TO naughty or controversial. lol. Let's do it! It'll be fun!
