Today Connor had quite an "adventure" (to put it nicely) in our house while he was supposed to be napping. Grandma was upstairs, so he snuck out of his room went into our kitchen and got some bread to eat. Then I guess he decided to cut the bread, so he got a variety of Cutco knives out of the knife block (2 steak knives, the really long bread knife and carving knife) to cut the bread on the couch. For those of you who don't know, Cutco knives are extremely sharp!!! I cut myself once with the cake froster!

So, back to the story, . . . so I think he got thirsty from eating all of the bread and decided to get a sippy cup. Since he can't reach them I think he climbed on the counter which enabled him to reach all of the stuff we keep in the cupboards, like desitin. Instead of getting a drink he decided to play with the desitin, spreading it all over the kitchen sink, counter and floor (luckily not the carpet). Also he spread it all over the bathroom counter and toilet seat cover (which he decorated with a sharpie a few weeks ago). I think he was trying to clean it off of his hands because it was all over the faucets in both the kitchen and bathroom as well as the towels.

Also, in his bathroom he somehow found an old lipstick in one of the drawers (I think my sister must have left it in the bathroom when she lived in there). So he decorated his toilet with the lipstick. (He also colored the grout in his bathroom with a green marker about a month ago.) This is becoming an epidemic!!!! I am ready to put him back in a crib with that net-cage thing!!!

I was, of course, most concerned with him playing with the knives. Praise God that nothing happened to him! He has apologized to me a bunch of times and keeps randomly telling me he will not play with knives any more.

TIP: The only thing that gets desitin off of stuff (like your hands or the sink) is baby wipes. The Kirkland brand ones from Costco are awesome for that! And cleaning lots of other stuff!

Questions on Lost . . .

While trying to fall asleep on Thursday night after watching "Lost", I came up with some questions . . .

If people have such trouble finding the island, how did the Darma people find it in the first place?

How did the others get there? Some of them seem to be "original inhabitants of the island". So, how long have they been there? The character that talks to teenage Ben about gassing all of the Darma people has not aged in the current episodes. Do the original inhabitants of the island not age? Does this have to do with the healing power of the island or the space/time continuum?

How come Ben does not have trouble finding the island?

How can the others get to and from the island without having trouble with the space/time continuum? They have traveled to and from the island in a submarine, is the space/time continuum not messed up when you are under water?

How does Charles Whidmore (Penny's father) tied into all of this? Does he have anything to do with Darma? Or with Jacob? What does he want with Ben? In the flash forward do Ben and Sayed work for him?

Why would pregnant people die if the island has healing powers?

Boring Bumper Stickers

I think I have seen it all (not really) . . .

Bumper Sticker:
"Happiness is
being a home-school mom"

Really? REALLY?

That's all you can come up with for your bumper sticker? With all of the clever sayings, political or religious statements, or just plain hilarious one-liners, that's it? Who was the genius who printed that up?

And to make matters worse, it has no punctuation.

Great teaching, mom.
