"Helping" with the yard work. Note the over sized shoes he chose to wear for the occasion, and the over sized broom he chose to use, which actually spent more time whacking his brothers on their heads than it did sweeping up leaves.
He took a break from his usual activity of "vrooming" his cars, and decided it would be neat-o to stick mini marshmallows to a lollipop. If you think that would be an awful sticky mess... then you'd be right.Now it just wouldn't be right if I didn't leave with you with a cute Conner story... so here you go!
Conner does this thing when he gets a glass of water. He likes to take his first and middle fingers and dangle them in the cup, so they're like a pair of legs "swimming." That's funny right? Well, those "swimming legs" usually cause his cup to tip over, which leaves a mess that his mother doesn't like cleaning up all the time. So... during supper one night, he's got his "swimming legs" in his cup, and since I'm a mother and I can see the future, I know this is going to end in a spill. I tell him to keep his fingers out of his cup and eat his supper. He huffs and puffs and glares at me, but does it. Then I get back to focusing on other chaotic supper matters.
A few minutes later I hear Conner saying rather quietly... "Don't look at me Mommy... don't look."
So, of course, I look. And he's got his "swimming legs" back in his cup. Ahhh... the innocenct mind of a three year old. If he had just kept his little mouth shut, he would have been safe from the wrath of mommy.
