Order HorizonExploring the boundary between order and our childrenHot seat- June 27, 2008 Corwin, as noted, gets to sit in the front seat much more often. This is annoying in the van because he turns on the butt warmers. In late June. He then leaves them on for the next time I&8217;m in the seat, or he forgets which control activates which seat (you&8217;d think the &8220;left for left, right for right&8221; arrangement might clue him in, but you&8217;d be wrong) and turns on both, just to be sure. I am left wondering why he doesn&8217;t get a heating pad to keep his butt warm while.http://order-horizon.net/archives/2008/06/hot_seat.php Tball- June 26, 2008 Batting with enthusiasm Charles got to play first base one inning this evening, although that&8217;s not as critical as it is in higher levels of play.

Alice: I was just trying to put my cup away. Dad: Maybe we need to go the girl store and get a better Alice. Alice: I am a better Alice! Dad: OK. We&8217;ll keep you, then. Problem solved!http://order-horizon.net/archives/2008/06/new_and_improved_1.php Gratuitous Picture of the Day- June 24, 2008 The &8220;no finger in nose&8221; shothttp://order-horizon.net/archives/2008/06/gratuitous_picture_of_the_day_38.php |
