Piglets and Polka Dots

Scene: My family room, 2:30 am. Nothing of value is on the TV and yet I'm awake, feeding my hungry child. As delirium begins to set in, my mind starts to ramble, and it is then, in a flash of genius, that I create my own joke. Feeling pretty proud of myself, and sure that Laffy Taffy will want to publish it on their next set of candy wrappers, the next morning I decide to tell Joe my brilliantly corny creation.

"What would happen if pigs could fly?" His response: "I don't know, what?"
Laughing, I respond "The bacon would be out of this world!"

Ahahahahaha. Wait - Joe is not laughing. Instead he shakes his head at me and tells me that I should never ever share the joke with anyone ever again, that's how bad it is. So what do I do? Tell it at a Christmas party, embarrassing him, and post it on my blog, so it will forever be remembered.

The other night, Chloe and I painted our nails. We had fun. Each finger got a different color and we added polka dots to finish off the look. Chloe was so proud of her pretty nails that she wants to invite all her friends over to have their's painted too. See, some of the stuff I come up with actually is cool!

I can't finish my post without a picture of my two favorite boys. One who likes to scowl and the other who has finally learned how to smile. I'll let you pick which is which. (Oh I crack myself up)

What does it mean if I really like the joke during my "rational" hours?

Well I thought it was funny! Good for you Jen. Wish my girl would let me paint her nails with out biting it all off. Darn her bad habits!

I think you are funny and wonderful! Love your beatiful family and fantastic pictures. Thanks so much for sharing them. We got your Christmas card - maybe next year I will be able to get mine out. Have a great Holiday :)

You can tell Joe that I think you are funny and not the least bit of an embarrassment! I love Chloe's nails so cute. Oh and Bennett likes to scowl like that in every picture we take!
