William's First Practical Joke

Scene: Will, Owen and I are in our backyard. I'm sitting on top step of my deck, reading a book. Owen is playing in the baby pool, and Will is standing behind me lost in deep thoughts. Suddenly, Will interrupts the silence with This Statement..

Will: "Mommy, I just love pooping outside."

Me: "Um.. (putting book down) Did you poop outside, honey?"

W: "Yep!"

M: "Sweetie, we don't poop outside, only animals poop outside. Hold on, I'm going to get a bag.. (coming back with a bag) Okay baby, where's the poop?"

W: "Come on, mama! I'll take you!" (he grabs my hand and pulls me into the yard while I, petrified of stepping on the poop, look a million directions at once). Will Points up. "There it is Mama!"
M: "Where??"

W: "In the tree!" Then his lips start twitching, as he's holding back a giant grin.

M: looking at the tree, then back at William "Will, are you making a joke?"

W: "Yep!"

We both start cracking up. My sweet Willy-nilly had me completely duped with his first practical joke. Ahhh the love.

Seriously Obsessed

I know, I know.. Flower pictures are boring.. But I can't help it! Here are my recent favs from my flower bed...

The world from William's eyes..

Crystal Clear

Conversation this morning..
J: "Megan, did you post an add on Freecycle for unwanted garden produce?"
M: "Yeah.. How did you know?"
J: "Well, I read the short version of the add and thought 'That sure sounds like Megan..' and then I clicked on it and it said 'MeganMarie812' and I knew it had to be you."

Well... I guess I have a reputation.
