maybe my vacuum will smell like strawberries now

lately when i run my vacuum it smells like nacho cheese doritos.  i think it's because last week i vacuumed up some harvest cheddar sun chips.  so i guess i should say it smells like harvest cheddar sun chips.  

well, today i was enjoying putting on my make-up without someone jumping on my lap, over my shoulder,  in my face.  this in the past has proven pretty dangerous: think tweezers attempting to pluck the moving targets that are my eyebrows on my face which sits on my head on my shoulders which are being pushed back and forth, back and forth.  one could lose thier eyesight in such a situation.  anyways, i got carried away in the quietness of it all.  before long i realized it was too quiet for a house with a three year old (we have a one year old living here as well, but he was napping).
 yep.  

here is where i found princess of pink:

as i was vacuuming it up, she showed little concern for her drink of choice. 

"bye bye pink milk" she said.

hello yummy smelling vacuum!


reminded me of a time when i was little and scattered my moms loose facial powder all over the bathroom...

 yestersay while enjoying a brief moment of peace while at my parents house, i almost lost the above mentioned little girl.  (Clint has been working extra overtime as his only employee is on vacay so i haven't had much of a break from the kids and am apparently not on top of my mothering game).
sadi was outside playing on the slide with my brother.
he came in to tell me had to leave.
i thought i saw my other brother go outside.
i was mistaken.
ten or so minutes after brother left, a knock at the door revealed the neighbor man holding sadi.
she had wondered down the road by herself, in the cold.
he pulled around the corner and recognized her.
whether she recognized him or not, she went with him.
luckily it was him.
as he carried her back, she peed on him.
kind of a scary/lucky/unfortunate for neighbor man little lesson.
