Elasor

Should have a big stick. Don't you agree?

Pb

I found this paper airplane laying around the house. William's newest obsession is paper airplanes, so there are roughly 15-20 laying around the house at any time. Which makes me crazy. Crazy because:

1. Papers laying around the house makes me crazy. They are everywhere. Even the littlest bits can be turned into a paper airplane. And everyone is precious (to my son) so it cannot be thrown away.

2. Gemma gets ahold of the frequently (see: everywhere) and shreds them to bits (see: paper everywhere, crazy).

Which explains why I was on my way to the recycle bucket with this one when I noticed the letters on the side- pb.

When I asked William what the letters meant, he looked at me as if I was a complete moron. He sighed and said, "The Pb stands for lead Mama."

Of course. Lead. Exactly what I was thinking.

Ps. I confess the lead airplane still ended up in the recycling.

Gemma's favorite hobby

Gemma has a hobby she has been working on lately.  She loves to throw things in the tub in my bathroom.  After she has an appropriate number or quality of items in the tub, she turns the water on them and watches with pure glee on her face as everything gets wet.  In particular, she loves doing this while I am going to the bathroom for two reasons:

1. She knows it makes me crazy
2. She is just out of arm's reach, which is SO. MUCH. FUN.

Items I have fished out of the tub this week (most wet to varying degrees):

New disposable diapers
William's school papers (including one pink paper that promptly turned the tub pink)
John's pajamas
a pair of my shoes
8 pair of my socks
a roll of toilet paper
Gemma's clothes for the day
a battery operated toy
crayons
cheerios
a paper bag
dolls/doll clothes
dirty laundry
clean laundry

What might be the funniest part to me is that she isn't interested in the getting wet part.  She is all business.  She comes in the bathroom, chucks her item into the tub, swiftly moves to turn the water on and then toddles on her merry way to make trouble elsewhere.  It is like she has a little "to do" list in her head that she is checking items off of and she is on to her next task.
