Where the Summer Really Went.

1. Stand-up Diaper Changes
2.  Cooling Off Cheese Burgers with Vents in the Car
3.  "You can have an M&M if you eat your chicken"
4.  "Wow you ate a whole Dinosaur Tree!"
5.  "Don't sit on your brother"
6.   Rolling down the windows in the car while going 60 mph to drown out two-year-old chatter or screams. 
7.  Telling myself I am "letting them work it out"  when they fight, when really I am tired and lazy. 
8.  Loving the phrase "boys will be boys"
9.  "Don't pee on your brother"
10.  "Don't touch your brother's pee pee"
11.  Mommy does not have a pee pee.
12.   "Go ask your father"
13.   Never underestimate the power of a Barney or Elmo DVD. 
14.  Hiding my chocolate donuts. 
15.   Going out of the house after making sure the boys' look cute, realizing I forgot to even look in the mirror. 
16. Picking up pizza off the floor and putting it back on the plate (at a restaurant no less) 
17. Doing the Hokey Pokey at Borders Book Store during story time. 
18. Endless numbers of "time outs"
19.  Being outsmarted by 2-year-olds
20.  Speed grocery shopping.

  2. hmm, i am 100% on board with nearly all of those. i've never figured out #1, though. i've decided that #18 no longer works with a 3-yr-old (and i have no better ideas). i'm starting to understand the phrase, "boys will be boys," although i used to hate the essentialism implied with that quote. and yet, it seems so entirely true most days.
