I leave the kids with my mom for a couple of hours...

And I come home to Tallulah's version of a sandwich. Please note: the sprinkles were compliments of their mid morning trip to Baskin Robbins.

First, sprinkles...

Second, add the mayo...

Third, a little turkey...

Enjoy!

Holiday road

Using the technology of our smart phones, the Internet, arial GPS photos and good ol' deductive reasoning, we were able to find the grave of James mason wilder, the father of almanzo wilder, husband to Laura Ingalls wilder in crowley Louisiana a mere 45 minute detour into our 10 hour drive to Florida.

Was it dedication or nerdiness that led me to tramp through wet, uneven grass while trying not to step on graves, and peer into a few cracked concrete slabs? Not to mention having my two year old pee in the cemetery while hearing my 5 year old complain. Although I am not sure why she is complaining since re-reading the series with her was what rekindled my life long interest ( obsession) and since she has been wearing the little house dress my mom made for me in 1983 since Wednesday.

At this rate we may not get there until tomorrow.

H's celebrity crush

Watching Johnny depp on jimmy kümmel

H:  what is he doing?  I can't figure it out.  Why is he acting like that?

Me:  because he is a dumb dumb.  He is trying to be cool.  He thinks he is not human, like he is some kind of super cool alien living among us dumb asses.

H:  is he trying to Talk with an English accent?

Me:  oh my god, who cares?? You want to know why I won't be watching the Lone Ranger?  Because of Johnny depp.  I don't watch Johnny depp in anything.  Let me tell you something.   I hate him, I hated him in he 80s,  in the ...

H( with dream like reverie)  oh, the 80s 21 jump street.

Me:  ask me if I watched 21 jump street,  even one time...

H:  your parents didn't let you watch 21 jump street.

Me( indignant ). What?  My parents don't even know what 21 jump street is.

H:  everyone knows that your parents didn't let you watch 21 jump street.

Me:  how can you even say that? You don't know what they let me watch...

h:   I know your parents and they did not let you watch 21 jump street.

Me:  we didn't watch that channel

H: because 21 jump street was on it.

Me:  I didn't watch it because I hate Johnny depp.

And them, as is his habit, he changed he channel, sparing us all from further debate.
