Had a last minute camp fire at our house this weekend and prior to my wife, daughter, and infant making it outside I was enjoying some one on one time with my 4 yo son. As we were sitting there staring at the fire, my son breaks the silence by casually saying: "If I pee'd on the fire it would smell like lemons."

My response: laughter and "What?"

I later found out after the kids went to bed that he had eaten 2 lemon wedges earlier that day and had apparently made the connection between fire, cooking, the smell produced from cooking, and the lemony liquid that was working its way through his body.

Wheels are always turning with that one...

Makes perfect sense to me.

 
My daughter wants to enter the school talent show. Why does it make me nervous?

 
My son helped me mow the lawn this weekend. He's almost 9 so he needed some help with the mower, but I'm glad I have someone willing/able to start taking over the yard work.

And this is the last week of school for both kiddos.

 
provided the rain stays away, tonight is minisnicks first blastball game. Yeah...3 innings of 3-4 yr olds trying to hit a ball on a tee.

although I think parents of boys have it easier...a one time fee. Not like dance classes for little girls with the monthly fee then $30+ on a costume for the recital for the 3/4 yr old to stand there and sway side to side.

 
I modify that statement...it is the ones who's Mom's want them to dance. As a former dancer and substitute dance teacher, at age 3 it was the mom's that wanted to see their little girls in tutus.

How's minisnick doing btw? Weren't you concerned with about a possible infection or something? If he's playing sports, I assume he's doing well. Which I'd be glad to hear. I hate when kids get hurt.

 
yep he is doing well. the redness in the finger is almost gone. It probably was just a due to a really thick layer of skin that sloughed off. The nail is already long enough to start being clipped again. There is just a big white line across the nail where the impact happened that is making its way to the tip as it is grows out

i bought three gymnastics leotards this winter(@$45-60 /piece) The gym is evil and has the leotards on display in the waiting area so all the girls have to walk by before class. Of course I can't say no to my daughter.

but you don't have to pay gym prices for them. Get the tag info and look online and see if they're cheaper.
