Barbecued Iguana

Saturday, I had some friends and family over informally. One, who was leaving as I was polling the boys for what they wanted to eat for dinner, suggested barbecued iguana. Karston of course refused it because it sounded like a new food. Cale on the other hand came over to tap on my arm: "Mommy, Mommy, for dinner I want ... that thing that was just said." What a great attitude about food! Cale has no idea what it is, but he would like to try that new food. This left me in an amusing quandary, but luckily Cale was very happy with pork roast and zucchini, especially the zucchini, fresh from the crockpot.

Need More Monkeys

Karston's school suggested a game website (the boys especially like this close variant), so when homework is done and it's not nice outside, they can play online games. Occasionally Karston will exclaim to the game, "Need more monkeys!" sometimes with a wondering tone. I tend to laugh to myself about needing more monkeys. Well, he said that today, followed by, "Oh, wait, it says MONEY not MONKEY."

I liked the monkey version better!

You Need New Shock Absorbers When ...

You know you need new rear shock absorbers when ... after a short trip on a country road, your toddler is gripping the sides of his car seat with that crazy grin he gets on wild rides.

This just goes to prove that Karston makes life funnier. I went to let him out of his car seat when I got to my mother's house, and there he was, grabbing the sides of the car seat, leaning forward, and grinning like mad; he was ready to do it again. I already knew I needed the shock absorbers, but Karston really clinched it there. And he made me laugh, too.
