A couple life lessons learned at an early age.

I work with 3 year olds. This week a couple of them have learned some life lessons.

Lesson in love: some men are just out there to break your heart.

Little girl: On Sunday I am going to go home and think of marrying [little boy].

Little boy then yells at little girl.

Little girl cries.

Lesson in anatomy: introduction to the digestive system

Little boy after leaving the bathroom: I went poop and pee. My stomach feels better.

Happy Easter!

We went to Minnesota for Easter. It was wonderful. We had to bring the kitten because she had a bad sore on her neck that we had to watch. Hannah seemed to enjoy playing with the kitten though. Here are some pictures:

We are all that and...


The kitchen sink clogged yesterday. It was badly clogged. The people living on the other side of our kitchen wall were also effected as we heard their garbage disposal go and watch the water level in our sink rise. Jeremy pulled out the siphon he just happened to buy a couple weeks ago and averted the danger of overflowing for us and our neighbor. Meanwhile, I walked over to their apartment to tell them to stop running the garbage disposal and water through the pipes as it is obviously doing nothing.

Jeremy and I then went to the store where we picked up a large bottle of draino. Neither of us had ever had to use draino before, and there were specific instructions in the fine print for garbage disposal clogs. We worked on in throughout the evening but still, nothing except a slightly more pleasant chemical-smell of the draino rather than the contents of both apartment's garbage disposals. Just as we were turning off the lights in the kitchen to go to bed Jeremy and I heard the best sound: "Swoosh, gurgle, gurgle." We looked over, IT WAS CLEAR!

There will be many big milestones in our marriage, but I like to think this was a small milestone. :)
