Lessons Learned

Things I learned today:

Don't give a baby a whole jar of peanut butter with a spoon.

When packing to move, don't mark boxes with an enticing description of contents like, "dress up clothes," or "outdoor toys," which may prompt quick unpacking by owners of the items.

Don't leave Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in the car when it is 105 degrees outside.

Don't open melty Reese's Cups packages at an angle.

Don't ask 3 year olds to help fold laundry or put their own shoes on. ever.

Don't fill up bowls with dry Rice Krispies then hand them over to small children.

Don't put grape juice in a bottle that has the end of the nipple cut off of it.

Don't wear regular mascara when you are going to teach a swimming lesson. (OK, so I knew this already...I guess I must have picked up the wrong tube.)

Don't let small children pee in your bed.

Don't drop cans of sprite on concrete.

And the most important lesson of the day: If you decide to knock over shampoo bottles at the CVS, and you yell "DOMINOS" before you knock the first one over, they often times, really do pretend to be dominos...all 43 of them.


Wish they could be as peaceful as this all the time.


Guess who?

I think I have narrowed down the 'dominos' incident to two suspects. Hmmm.

And I'm guessing it's Trinity. Am I right?
