things i need to write down somewhere

hello, loyal fans. so here are some things i have been told, "you need to write these things down" about:

1. reed made a puddle, and as i was attempting to ascertain the exact dimensions of said puddle, to prepare myself to clean it up, he jumped in it. because it was a puddle. and he's three.

2. twice in the last month, reed has told me, "your legs are owie, mom," as he tries again and again to lay his cheek on my calf, but can't, because "the spikes are owie!"

3. this morning, dean said, "i feel really grateful right now." he did some homework, made his own lunch, practiced the piano, and made no claims to any symptoms that would prevent him from attending school. i'm pretty sure that's a first for all those things in one morning.

4. our list of cars we like to spot as we drive around (starting with VW beetles) has grown to include anything from either cars movie (mustangs, jeeps, "old-fashioned" cars, aston martins, jaguars, VW buses, pickup trucks, and anything square-ish that looks kind of like sir miles axlerod--usually a honda element, but a scion xB works too), cooper minis (italian job), and camaros (bumblebee). max and dean fight over who is looking for mustangs. reed finds cooper minis, and repeats whatever dean has found most recently, to which dean responds, "i already found that!" dean also has a scoring system for VW beetles, based on whether it's old or new and whether it has a roof. i think convertibles are worth more. mom is too good at finding beetles, so i get to find ferraris, porsches, lambourghinis, and bentleys. bring on the traffic. :)

i'm sure more will come as i continue to think in this vein, but this is all that comes to mind at the moment and i just realized i haven't posted since before christmas. ack! but i just uploaded from the camera, so there will be more posts forthcoming.

that's all for now.
