Don't pity this fool

My pretty peonies

Why would they remake the A-team and NOT use Mr. T? It's not like he's busy~! that was a Craig Ferguson joke the other night, though of course everything is funnier with his accent. I find him oddly attractive, in a Dick Van Dyke/Jughead from the Archie comics kinda way.

It's been 2 weeks since we found out Sean got the job, and yet I still feel a little worried. Don't get me wrong, I am SO relieved! But part of me feels like maybe something isn't going to work out. It is, I know it is, i'm just being paranoid. He starts July 1st, the day after his last day at his job now. What are the odds? I mean really! I am so grateful, thankful, happy, elated, you name it.

Summer is in full swing and we are staying up late, sleeping in, eating loads of crap and swimming (if you can call a 6 inch deep pool that) half of the days. It's great. I love this time of year. As I type the girls are upstairs watching Beetlejuice... luckily I caught the "Nice f@#%ing model!" part. Faye only thinks he says "freakin" because she has no idea what the real "f" word is. yet. Though she does know he grabs his crotch and there's a "honk, honk" sound (pretty funny really). I know, not so nice, but how can I deprive them of such artistry in film?

Father's day was grand with a day at church, my girls wearing matchy poo outfits (once again) and then a BBQ at the Hendricksons home. I got Sean a big nice Lifetime product picnic table. My dad got one too. So did Dave. Apparently we all like dining alfresco. Fancy us.




It was also Axel's birthday so on Saturday we went and saw Toy Story 3. Best Movie of the year. Really. You get it all: Funny, sad... and a little bit creepy in there. I even cried. It was THAT good. Phoebe did too. Though she was crying for a different reason. Lotso Bear broke the heart necklace from Daisy and Big baby was crying a real baby sounding cry and it broke Phoebe's heart. She even had tears. She said to me "Dat bear so mean to da baby mom". It was cute.

Phoebe and Axel are so cute together, they could almost pass as twins. Though she's a whole year older! Phoebe has ADD and can never sit still.



There is nothing sweeter than the smell of success! and hopefully that smell is not coming from Phoebe's underoos. She is potty-trained! Woohoo! It's not like she's little or anything, she just 2 weeks shy of turning 3, but she was not having it any earlier. She pooped her pants 5 days in a row and today she went kaka in the toy toy. I hate people who talk like that. Really though, just look at those cute cheeks! I love em, even if the panties are on backwards.




These jammie pants are what she so lovingly calls her "Toby" jammies. If you are familiar with the movie Labrynth you will know that the baby Toby wears red and white striped jammies in that movie. Another fine, fine piece of work.
