Murphy's Law

You all know the law, so I'll just share the most recent evidence of it in my life. The end of the semester immediately preceding Christmas when loans are running out, presents need to be bought, Disneyland needs to be saved for, and somehow we still need to keep gas in the car and groceries on the shelves and. . .my camera goes kaput! Luckily, I still have my webcam on the laptop. I'm trying to figure out how to use a baby sling to strap the computer to my chest for Disneyland. What do you think???



Example of fantastic camera quality:

One kid is missing but its because another child, who shall remain nameless, told said kid that he wished she had never been born. Most kids would respond with some type of "I'm rubber, you're glue. . ." comeback, but THIS kid has a soft shell and melted into heartbroken distress and was unable to recover prior to this picture. Maybe next time.

I discovered the broken camera earlier after Sully dressed himself. It was pretty much the cutest Sully moment in that hour. He brought me a shirt with tigger on it and asked for help putting it on the right way. Then he disappeared and put his own spongebob underwear on (I told you we are spongebob fans over here), a pair of airplane pajama shorts that actually belong to Guthrie, and his green Walmart knockoff crocks (on the correct feet, thankewverymuch). I wanted nothing more than to snap a photo of this endearing moment to preserve it for all time. Now I guess I just have to settle for the sure-to-fade but no less endearing mental image. In other Sully news, the potty training is over and he's a big boy now. Throughout the day I hear random calls from one of the three bathrooms scattered around, "Mooooooomm, I go pooooop." This is my signal to go help clean up, but I am NOT allowed to flush. Apparently that is his reward for a job well done. He even sleeps all night with his big boy underwear and has not peed in his (or my) bed yet. YAY for the first break from diapers in six and a half years!!! I'm quite enjoying it.

We leave for Arizona three weeks from Friday. I'm super psyched to get on the road and spend Christmas break without too much studying (though Kyle swears he is still going to have to keep up on Step 2 material), some Arizona winter weather, family, food, friends, fun, and Christmas. *Sigh* It just sounds heavenly!

Edited to add: I am also looking forward to Kizzy's jacuzzi - so move over and make room. :p
