Stuffs

First, this just made me laugh...

It's funny cause it's true

Next, here are the fruits of me and Wm's labors...

Wm helped paint!

Wm's Big Kid reading nook with our old shelves

Wm is VERY EXCITED because he is off to his first ever sleep over. He's getting so big!! Steve and I already had a discussion about how we wish he had a cell phone so we could text him - and he's been gone about an hour. As the car was pulling out, the dad told us they don't have their AC on. It's like 90 degrees outside. So I immediately was like, "WHuT...WAIT!" But they were gone. So I ran inside and told Steve that I wanted to text Wm and tell him that he should not sleep IN the sleeping bag in that sauna but had no way to reach him. Steve was like, "I heard! I KNOW! I'll try to send a message to his iPad." And, also, WHO DOESN'T TURN THEIR AIR ON WHEN IT'S 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE? I think they are trying to cook my kid. But, Wm was insanely pumped and didn't seem to care.

The face of excitement (with pillow and sleeping bag ready to go!)

Wm: What is that amazing smell?

Me: I'm making soup!

Wm: I don't like soup.

Me: I know. I saved some of the chicken out and you're having that with some veggies and piece of sourdough bread.

Wm: That sounds good. But that soup really smells delicious.

Me: I would love it if you actually wanted soup!

Wm: I will taste it.

Me: Awesome!!!

Wm: [tastes one particle of soup] EW! 

Me: So you don't like it?

Wm: Not. At. All.

Me: Why?

Wm: It's spicy and burned my nose. And, also, I don't like a lot of flavors.

Me: You don't like FLAVORS?

Wm: I don't like a lot of flavors mixed together. That had a lot of flavors.

Me: Sigh. Your chicken is on the table.

Wm: It does smell really good, though...

FYI - the soup was AMAZING. Wm sucks.
