Leo: How much longer is George W. Asshole going to be our president?
Me: About two more years.
Sunny: Two more years of George W. Shithead Asshole?! Man I hate that guy!
This is Sunny’s Science Fair project. She watered the one on the left with Sprite and the one on the right with water. Surprisingly the grass LOVED the water, and did not love the Sprite. I think the conclusion of the experiment is that grass has a very dissimilar taste in beverages than children.

“Man, I hate the cereal box people. They always make it look like you can get the toy inside the box when really it is a mail in offer. It’s such a scam. Just like church.”

Did you know they filmed Footloose here? Yep it’s true. Right in the heart of Utah County. Claim to fame, people. It doesn’t get better.Apr 102007
We had a nice weekend, with just Badger home, even though he followed me around talking about video games at a gozillion miles an hour. And we missed Sunny and Leo tons. The days were so strangely…(I want to say quiet here but quiet isn’t right because it wasn’t quiet with all the Badger talking, it was noisier, so much noisier but with less fighting and friends over eating all my snacks)….empty (that’s the right word) without them.
It was great spending time with just Badger though, and I think that is important for him because being the youngest I think he feels ignored many times. So besides spending a lot of time bonding over video games with Chris this weekend, Badger also did this:
Went to Target to spend some allowance money and purchased the pin toy thingy.
Rode his bike around the back patio.
Stalked an enemy target.
Got a basket from the Easter Bunny, after which he exclaimed: “So Halloween and Easter are both about candy!” Yes Badger, the heathen Easter is exclusively about candy. Yay!
Sunday afternoon we drove down to Utah County to pick up Sunny and Leo. We were so happy to see them. So happy to have them back. I especially felt so happy that these amazing little people are a part of my family. And happy that, even though it is sometimes hard to live, life is its own reward.

Today I’m busy trying to get Sunny and Leo ready to go out of town for Easter weekend. They will be spending the weekend with their grandparents and cousins in the sunny Southwest, while Chris, Badger, and I will be at home getting drunk. This is going to be a nice little trip for them, because they have been off-track for the last two weeks and have been using that time to tear up the house and beat each other senseless. So instead they will be able to swim in the pool, and play with cousins and of course get their yearly injection of Jesus. This injection means that Sunny will probably return home feeling guilty and Leo feeling annoyed. But hopefully, at least someday, they will know they really aren’t missing anything.
