After all the sanding was done on the walls, something made these tracks in all the dust. I'm guessing it was an ant, but maybe it was something a lot more exciting . . .
You think an ant? Really? Ants don't typically leave tracks, do they? Aside from the trail of dead ones that die along the way? It reminds me of trails that snails leave. I'm sure it wasn't because he'd have been in a saw-dusty heap in the middle, still, but just saying....
but they don't take a direct path when they're scouting around. maybe it wasn't an ant, but it was a very small pathway. we have seen these little tiny black beetle like guys, maybe it was one of them. whatever it was, i would have like to seen it all covered with white dust.
Jack: Mom - would you be really mad if someone put paint on your house? Charlie: or ketchup?
I had asked Jack several times to do something and he kept not doing it. I was frustrated and started yelling at him. He yelled back at me, "I THOUGHT CHURCH PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE NICE!"
Jack: Why do I have to take piano?
me: Because you have musical talents and you need to develop them.
Sam: yeah, and you're also talented at popping.
Charlie: yeah, and locking.
The other day while in the car Dan was calling everyone "Cookie-Head Jenkins" (if you know what movie this is from you are a long lost sibling of Dan's). The kids thought it was hilarious and were getting giggly. Sam - sitting in the way back - says (laughing), "it just keeps getting funnier and funnier every time you say it!"
The other day after my grandma's funeral Jack turns to Dan and says, "Dad, when you pass away I want to inherit Guitar Hero so I can play it and then I can give it to my kids." What a wonderful family heirloom.
Sam and Charlie have been singing this little tune all day, "Mary had a little lamb, lost her sheep at home."
Charlie loves to ask us all this: 'member on Elf? sumanutcracker? (son-of-an-nutcracker). After which he laughs and laughs. (They all love Elf)
Charlie calls it a "louder" rather than a "ladder". He also calls his cousin Alex "Owlex".
A few months ago Jack asked me: who are those guys called who say ottergyle? me: I'm not sure who you mean. Jack: You know, the ones who play the pipe cleaner? me: oh - Scottish people, who play the bagpipes and wear argyle?
Sam: Today can we go to Little Tweezers for some pizza?
Sam's eating an apple slice, except for the skin.
Me: you know that skin's good for you, right?
Sam: yeah, it helps you grow skin.

but it was WAY too tiny for a snail . . .
i don't think ant either. ants usually take a more direct path
