"CAN'T A MOM HAVE ANYTHING NICE?????!!!!!!!"
(quoted from my mom 1975 - 1994-ish, the years when there were little ones trashing everything... ugh, that's nearly 2 decades! Now, it's my turn for the same phrase. I love that I am becoming more like my mom, because that means at some time, I will be awesome.)
So, blogging will be even more minimal than it has been. In fact, it has come to a screeching halt. Why? Well, the camera is out of commission.
Why is that?
Well, I'll set the scene:
Me: unloading the dishwasher as quickly as I can before the twins come to "help."
Oakley: runs in the house from the backyard.
approximately 4 minutes later
Oakley: MMMOOOOMMMM!
Me: What?
Oakley: You're camera's wet!
Me: What?! (walking swiftly towards his voice, finding him in the bathroom, perched with his feet up on the toilet seat with his shorts and undies off dangling my camera by the strap)
Me: What happened?!!?!! >:( (Yes, there was a definite angry scowl.)
Oakley: I was trying to take a picture of my poop, and it fell in the toilet. I have skeets.
So, there you go. I think it's a good excuse.

Aaahhhh, crap! Literally! You CAN have something nice in approximately two decades when your kids are the ones who are repeating the same line. But then, you misplace your camera and it's all your fault, with no one else to blame it on. P.S. I can tell you exactly why he has skeets, but I'll spare you most of the morning details of me moving the fruit snacks from place to place thinking he couldn't reach, just to find him with yet another pack of them.
This is why you don't teach your kids to flash before you flush. Ha,ha,ha,aha - Sara you will forever be one of my favorite story tellers in the whole wide world!
first of all, i'm sorry for laughing.
second of all, funniest slash saddest story ever.
love your moms quote. oh, how it resonates with my life. haha.
I love that all Jones grandkids will forever refer to diarrhea as skeets. Ugh... I would be so mad.

ok i loved the picture of the angry scowl face - it gave me a great visual! i loved y our story. i am sorry that your camera is ruined but i love that it was ruined by him trying to take a picture of his poop!
Ahhhh. Best laugh I've had in AGES!
Just so you know, the few years I worked for your Dad, "skeets" became a permanent part of my vocabulary as well. Love, aunt dona
Oh Man! So hilariously wrong. So sorry about the camera....but that is a story you can tell for a lifetime with laughs every single time you tell it.
Oh my gosh, I had to call Alex as soon as the tears stopped from laughing so hard. We both got a good laugh. It was too close to home though, because we JUST bought a new camera last week and I can just see that happening to us! too funny!
