Give a boy a dog and you've furnished him a playmate.
The dog was created specially for children. He is the god of frolic.
A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.

Yes, please.
Cupcakes and uninterrupted bubble baths are two individual, wonderful elements of the many that bind together to form who I am - tonight I put them together. Oh yes.

A list
So I'm in a very cynical mood today (what's new?) and need to get some things out before I blow up. I'm not going to put it all on Facebook since I'm not that lame. I think it'll go fine on here because isn't that what a personal blog is for? Yup.
This list was compiled today as I was sitting on a bench at the park while Layton was playing.
1.) People who bring infants to a park. Why? Why do you do this? I understand if you have an older child who can actually play on the equipment, but an infant can't. You're meaning to tell me that you drive all the way to the park to hold you child and/or to have nervous fit after nervous fit if the little darling crawls out of within a 2 inch radius from you?
2.) The women who have to bring their camera to the park and drive everyone else there absolutely insane. I get wanting to take pictures, really, I do, but put the damn thing down so your kid can actually play without you in their face telling them to "look over here", "HOLD STILL SO I CAN TAKE YOUR PICTURE", "look at me", "go over on that swing/slide/whatever and do this (insert pose) and SMILE". While we were there today some woman fitting that description showed up with a few kids and would NOT SHUT UP. Myself and another mother there would move our things to a different are any time she came near us. Her kids were whining because they wanted to play and she was busy barking out orders. Chill out!
3.) The people who bring all ten of their kids to the park. You know, if you have ten kids then that's your business, but teach them some manners. It is rude and dangerous to other (smaller) children for your pack of wild savages to be running around with complete and total disregard to others. I can't even count the times I've seen small children ran over, pushed, or knocked off of equipment because of some lunatic kid who's mother is oblivious or too busy trying to wrangle the rest of her 'pack'. Keep them in check, that's all I'm saying.
4.) The ones who think everything is a deathtrap. STOP IT. You know who you are. I'm not even going to go there. Just stop it.
5.) I can not stand when kids run around the playground dirt/sand with socks on. It just BOTHERS THE CRAP OUT OF ME!
That is all.
For now.

Coolness
Is any other kid this cool?
I think not.
(5 seconds later he threw that remote at me and demanded that I not take anymore pictures)
Such sweetness.

When did he become such a little man? He usually looks so serious...
...not!
He does have a killer serious face, though.

Pet week
This is Kitty. A few weeks ago I pulled in to our driveway, and when I looked up from getting my purse, this is what I saw on the hood of my car.
Yikes.

Yummy
Finally - we were able to make this edible play dough. It's been sitting in my bookmarks folder for a few months but I never could remember to get some powdered sugar. Well, I finally had some, but, we were pretty much out of honey. Ah, oh well, we made due and it was awesome. It's not just great because of the mold-ability (?), but it tastes like heaven. I highly recommend it. It's easy, fun, and doesn't make too much of a mess (psh).
Next I think we're going to try out the edible finger paints. :)

Duh!
How did I ever live without a cookie scoop? I mean yeah, I've made tons of cookies before, but nothing like those that are made with a cookie scoop. They're just great. Also, this new lotion by Suave called "sandalwood and cinnamon". OH EM GEEZ. You need to get some.
I don't have much else to say, so here's some kitten love, and, of course, The Turducken.
These cats are insane.
& so is this toddler.

PAAAAAARK!!!
We like this park. It cooled down to a chilly 99 degrees at 7:30 last night, so we grabbed our coats and went to the park.

Score!
So, what do you think of these babies? I'm calling this a stumbleupon score. That site is awesome in and of itself, but when I stumbled upon these bad boys, well, I think I may have gained a whole 'nother level of appreciation. I mean, just look at them! What genius thought of such a concept?

We all know that I can't post without pictures or a mention of Bubba. So, here he is.

Our fireworks-less fourth
Yeah, there's a super strict burn ban going on around here because of the ridiculous drought that's been going on for the past few months, so that meant no fireworks. I'm not really the kind of person who loses it over fireworks, but it would have been cool for Layton to see. So, yeah, a little disappointing. We had some good food and got to spend time with family though, so I guess that's what matters. I didn't think to bring Layton's trunks with us so he had to run around in the sprinkler wearing his underwear. Oh well, no biggie.
I told him to remember to be nice, and this is the look we got for most of our visit.
He also wanted it to be know that he loves cupcakes, and wearing ladybug wings.
I feel as if I should add that he wasn't posed in those wings. He was trying to take them off and I just snapped a picture real quick. It looks awesome, though. :D

Best part of the day
This is what quiet looks like. This is what no messes, destruction, or clinging looks like. It's what peaceful looks like.
It's what awesome and sinfully cute look like.

Don't be fooled
Completely goofy.
Full of smiles.
Totally adorable.
Never let these qualities distract you from the truth. He is a turd.

Play
Huh? What? My kid is finally getting an imagination and actually playing with his toys? I don't believe it.
Oh wait, there's a picture to prove it. Awesome! I was beginning to think that this day would never happen. It's usually my sole responsibility to keep the little turd entertained, because Lord knows he doesn't want to do it. I'm so happy now, though, because it means that I can actually get some things done without my feet getting all tangled up in Layton as I walk. I don't want to over exaggerate here, I mean it's not like he's thoroughly enthralled in his trucks 24/7, we're only talking about maybe 5 minutes at a time, but it's progress, damnit.
