Don't Feel Like Coming Up With a Title

• In an attempt to keep Jansen entertained during these long winter days, I put some rice in a Rubbermaid thingy. I let Jansen drive his trains in it, and I hid buttons and had him find them in there, etc. He loved it, but I'm sure many of you know where this is going. Despite my repeated attempts to teach him to keep it contained, many messes were being created.
  

Here he is cleaning one of them up. The picture doesn't do it justice. There is A LOT of rice on that floor. Yesterday I was trying to get our little "indoor sandbox" down from a cabinet so I could banish it from our home and I dropped it...rice explosion all over. So we're done playing with rice for the season.

• This morning I was toting Natalie around on my hip and trying to coax Jansen to come downstairs. I said to him,"Come on, let's go find some breakfast." So he runs into the hall and says, "Breakfast! Where are you? Where are you, breakfast?"
  

• Note to all those considering putting your 5 month old in the laundry basket: this is only effective if you don't mind having snot on your freshly washed jeans.
