Congrats on both the awards and the veggies. I actually managed to grow a couple of zucchinis once and was so grateful I could have cried. Then I went out of town for a week and my husband forgot to water. Sayanara zucchinis. Not so sure what to say about the puppy chute. Having boys myself I find it best not to think too hard about where their brains are spinning. There aren’t enough mojitos in the world.

Thanks for stopping by and weighing in on my Thursday Three. Happy to have you!

Jen,

No, as far as I know, nobody’s pregnant. Although… now that I think about it, the fish in his preschool fish tank had some babies not too long ago. I’m pretty sure it was a surprise though – I’m sure I would have heard about it if the kids had witnessed the birth. One day there were 2 fish and then one morning there were 2 big fish and a dozen itty bitty things that grew to look more like fish. I think I better monitor the TV shows he watches a bit more closely. I wonder if he’s caught the beginning of A Baby Story on TLC or something after the cartoons end for the morning.

Good then. That’s a relief. I will refer all future “puppy chute” questions to you. Good luck.
Edited to add: You’re not joking, right? I mean we couldn’t BOTH be in major denial here? Right?

It’s a MONKEY! He told me without me even asking…”Dad, this is Benjamin’s birthday card. Here’s his house (pointing @ the facing page of the card) and here’s his shirt with the monkey on it.” And if you look real closely you can see he started writing “Happy Birthday” but scratched it all out as it became part of the shirt. Besides the monkey isn’t even head down yet.

Congratulations on your awards, I am not at all surprised. Your blog is so funny and entertaining that it is the only blog I have saved in my favourite bookmarks. You have a lovely relaxed way of writing that feels as if you are talking to a friend.
As for Snags I think you handled it very well, I love the idea of a trap door !!!

I think you’ve got six more months, tops. LOL I think it’s a lovely picture, actually. It’s definitely not a monkey. Are any of his friends’ moms pregnant, maybe?

Thanks, Jo! Really? You don’t think that’s a monkey? Are you sure? Look again. Not even a 5 year old’s version of a monkey? Look at the big persons fingers. They’re just sticks! I mean, isn’t it possible he was paging thru a National Geographic and saw some Neandethals or Cro-Magnons — one of the ancient hominids — and thought “Hey! That would look good on a t-shirt! I’ll draw that!” Right? It’s possible, right? Because I need time here, preferably, 7 more years would be fair I think, before I should have to explain this stuff to the kid. Right?

Oh my God that’s hilarious.
‘A puppy dogs chute’.

I think you coped very well with that one. I have no idea what I’d have said.

And I don’t think that’s a monkey…

P.S. The awards look tres chic.
