Inspection!

Austen has a flashlight. He likes to inspect things with it. After I changed Aaron's diaper Austen showed up with his flashlight to inspect my work. "Let me see here... (here he lifted up the front of the diaper by Aaron's tummy up and shined the beam from the flashlight in) yup, it's all changed. This diaper is CLEAN!" I am glad he was there to make sure.

You have the funniest stories about your boys, a laugh riot at the O house.

This is absolutely the funniest ever. I can imagine him doing that.

"The Best 7 Minutes Ever" or "What Can Happen to Your Living Room While Your Back is Turned"

Sarah called me and we got on the subject of one of our former favorite pastimes: watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. Specifically: "Winged Potato", "Grandma Daughter", and "Zap "MY DRINKIN' ARM'S HEALED" Rowzdower" So, we decided to watch one, together, 2000 miles apart, via youtube, a cellphone and synchronized play-button-hitting. I turned the volume up as high as it would go and she listened in on her end (she was at work). I turned my back on my kids and determined to ignore them for the next 7 minutes and 2 seconds. A lot can happen in 7 minutes and 2 seconds... to my living room: Austen spit an entire bottle of water on Henner, Henner unfolded all the clothes on the couch, Henner dismantled said couch, Aaron woke up and demanded that he be fed, the timer went off for the peach crisp that was in the oven, Austen told me that the timer went off for the peach crisp that was in the oven, Austen told me again that the timer went off for the peach crisp that was in the oven (that's okay, I like it a little crispy), and last but not least, Austen dismantled a cement mixer. (it was a matchbox car, okay) Still at the end of all this, I found that it was worth it, I spent a great 7 minutes with my sister although she is 2000 miles away. We vowed to do it again. Next time I will put the kids to bed first.

Or, your children can run down the street naked to the park; be spotted by a passing driver, and have the police show up to ask if that was your children nekked, alone and at the park. Only to be sure that your children were where they were supposed to be, naked and at the park.
