Em,

I'm SO sorry! I have very similar conversations with Evan while driving in the car, if it makes you feel any better.

So familiar. Well, a couple of years ago. I was laughing the whole time I was reading, and Tyson came over to see what was so funny. But then he didn't "have the energy to read all of that." Asher will get the potty training thing down. Tyson was about 2 3/4 but Sam was 3 1/4. Thanks for the birthday email. :)

That is so funny and true. Mario always ask me for a slurpee every time I stop at 7-11. It's nice they kids can tell you what they want but they never stop asking, at least my crazy kids. Thanks for making me laugh, you are the best!

LOL. Sad how they become brand conscious so soon. And thank goodness for fruit snacks.
