Poop Shoes

A conversation with Eli:

Eli: Mom, I wish our town only had houses that my friends lived in. I also wish that there were no cars and all the people walked everywhere.

Me: Why? I wouldn't want to have to walk everywhere.

Eli: Well, then all the kids could run and play in the street and everywhere and we wouldn't have to worry about cars hitting us. I also wish there were no dogs.

Me: Then we wouldn't have Harley. Why do you wish there were no dogs?

Eli: Because there wouldn't be any poop anywhere on the ground. When I'm an inventor, I'm going to invent poop shoes.

Me: That sounds gross, what would you do with poop shoes?

Eli: Then I could just step in the poop and I wouldn't have to worry about looking for poop because I'd have poop shoes. They would be silver like a robot, but they wouldn't be robots.

Aww, such imagination....

Eli's Pre-K and Soccer Pictures

Eli chose between what I picked out and what Johnny picked out to wear for his school picture. My choice won =) He also chose which pose he wanted. Such a handsome boy...

On soccer picture day, it was pouring rain. We took his buddy David with us because his mom had to take his sister to her cheer camp at the same time and her husband was out of town. David is sitting on Eli's right in the group picture.



Zoe's First Haircut

Zoe and I have had a pretty productive morning so far. We have taken Johnny's clothes to the cleaners, gone to the post office, CVS, dropped off the water bill and gotten Zoe her very first haircut. And I might add, all of this was done between 8:00 and 9:15.

I have been wanting to get her hair cut for awhile now, and had planned on Johnny going with us. However, he's been so busy at work, he told me to go ahead and go without him. She sat very still and did so good. She
had about and inch cut off just to even up and shape it a little. The lady that cut her hair was very patient and sweet with her. She saved some clippings for me and we got a little card to take home.
