Lessons Learned, Texas Sized...

The first and most important lesson...

They ain't jokin' 'bout this one!
Bugs...
Weeds...
Sun...
Highways... Traffic... Toll Roads...
Electric Bills...
Churches...
Fried Food...
and unfortunately, People...


This sign actually exists, because down in Texas the shoulder is actually used as another lane for traffic.


Texas has a love affair with itself.  You can get anything and everything in the shape of Texas.  Including, but not limited to:
Waffle Irons
Cast Iron muffin tins
Chips
Crackers
and Sunglasses. 
(no joke, I just saw some on a lady right before we left this great state)


They love their tile down there, and it's not always the pretty kind.  I can see the practicality of it, but I am sick of cleaning grout.  I could use my entry as a bowling alley.  That is entirely too much tile!  Time to go back to hardwood!

Terribly Two...



Baby B turned two on Friday.  More about that another day.

Today, however, two is not such a good thing.
Every child has to do it.  For Miss C it was nail polish.  For Mister P it was peanut butter.  Baby B's choice, wall spackle.  A whole tub of it!
He knew he was in B.I.G. trouble!  You can tell by the look on his face.

Thanks to his little adventure I got to spend my Sunday cleaning carpets, walls, counters, furniture, tile and one very spackled boy instead of going to church.  You know, because I have nothing better to do right now!

I guess he is no longer Baby B anymore.  I need to come up with a new name for him.  Suggestions?
