Liam: "Mom, did you clean the toilet today?! It looks really good!"
Finally, some appreciation for my never-ending housework! That's my favorite quote from Liam today. My favorite Max quote, however...
Maxwell: "My penis looks like a gun."
They are two very different children... :)
There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children, one is roots; the other, wings.

Visiting Auntie
Liam and I took a little trip to Milwaukee to visit Auntie Kimmy over the weekend.
Liam and his best buddy, Maggie, were in this position for most of our time there!
Maggie followed him around and insisted on sleeping right next to him! It was pretty cute. We had a great time with Auntie, visiting the children's museum, ordering pizza, watching Disney movies, and just hanging out. Miss you, Auntie! And Maggie!

Oscar Live Blog
You didn't think the Oscars could go by without a live blog, did you?! The broadcast was about 4 billion minutes long and I got tired towards the end, but I still think some good material was recorded.
It's time for the third installment of !@$# My Wife Says! Tonight, it's the Oscar edition. This should go well.
"I'm actively ignoring Stacey Kiebler."
"What's wrong with her lips? See, everything looks normal ...but...look at her lips!"
"Natalie Portman! I love her! Where's your baby?! What's her real last name? Goldenheimer? Chutzpah? I'll look it up. Hershlag, it's Hershlag."
"Brian (Grazer)! What happened to your hair?! He looks like Willy Wonka got electrocuted!"
"Am I the only one annoyed that Justin Bieber has his own fragrance? I mean, it doesn't even smell like him."
"Don't mess this up, Billy. Oh, look. They made his mini-microphone 'invisible' on the front of his shirt."
"This needs subtitles."
"How do you get the job of seat-filler? Do you have to have a really big butt? Or just be really good at sitting? I'm pretty good at sitting. Maybe you have to be a professional couch potato."
"Equus? Wasn't that the play where Harry Potter's schlong was hanging out?"
"I was so nervous when I saw Apollo 13 in the theaters."
"Don't drink before presenting, Cameron (Diaz)!"
"Brad should change his last name to Jolie-Pitt. I'm going to change my last name to Jolie-Pitt."
Jen: "Hey, look, it's Yo-Yo Ma!"
Aaron: "No, it's not. Just because a person is Asian and has a stringed instrument does not mean that they are Yo-Yo Ma."
Jen: "Is it weird that I used to think Yo-Yo Ma was a rapper?"
"What is with Bradley Cooper? He can sit down. He can be a professional seat-filler."
"Is how to pronounce 'Scorsese' still up in the air?"
"Is that Conan O'Brien? Is that Chris Kattan?" (no, it was neither)
"I think instead of 'Cirque de Soleil' it should be called 'Junk on Display'."
"She looks scary. Her cheekbone just cut me." (Angelina Jolie)
"What's wrong with flowing-sleeves drummer girl?"

Dog Search Live-Blog
He's done it again! I've been very impatiently waiting for our fortunes to change enough that we can justify getting a family dog. Things are looking up! We're not quite there yet, but I'm a planner and must have everything in place for when it's time! I was searching online last night and Aaron posted every comment I made! I may have also had a few social drinks to de-stress...
Two things you must know:
1. Jen has her heart set on finding our family the perfect dog.
2. Jen has had several wine coolers and is now mad because she can't find the perfect dog.
What follows will be a collection of the priceless words that have been spoken thus far this evening.
"Oh, great. This shelter has 45,000 cats."
"All these dogs are ugly."
"This one is cute. Do you think it will grow up to be ugly?"
"My lips are getting tingly." (this was accompanied by a weird puckering, and repeated four or five times.)
Jen: "Did you find a dog yet?" Aaron: "I thought you were looking for a dog." Jen: "You're so helpful."
"Do you want to finance a dog?"
"I'm just going to take out an ad: 'Eleanor, where are you? Please call.'"
"This one's only $300! Damn it! It's on hold. Wait, here's another one!" (followed by literally a minute and a half of oooooing and ahhhhhing and "cute" repeated over and over.)
"This is what we're going to do. We're going to have a bake sale to raise puppy money. Then we'll sell some stuff...of yours..."
Again, you're welcome...

Guns for Kids
This is a photo from Christmas, but I still think it's cute. Liam got a gun from Uncle Scott to use when he is bigger! It's the gun Sarah and Alex used to use bunny blasting, and has quite a history! Liam will be a very conscientious hunter and I know he can't wait to get out in the woods like his grandpa and his dad! I also thought it was adorable that Uncle Scott thought to give this gun to him! He's a pretty sentimental guy even though he may not admit it! He definitely loves having nephews, but I know he loves his rugrat nieces as well (hey, he bought me a Cabbage Patch doll once)! Anyway, enjoy the cuteness!
