happy belated thanksgiving!

ocean plug

"did you know at the bottom of the ocean there is a huge plug? all you have to do is pull the cord and all the ocean water will drain out." -beck beers

maybe it's time for a new school. :)

way to go beck!

beck finally learned to tie his shoes! he surprised me this morning. he tied his shoes today all by himself with no help from momma! that's a first. thank you uncle benny for working with beck over the weekend. congrats beck!

d. sedaris

beck: "mom! does david sedaris write children's books?"

me: "ha! no way little dude."

beck: "awww man! i really wish he did."

it's funny that i'm so obsessed with DAVID SEDARIS that even my 6-year-old knows exactly who he is. too bad the beckster has many many years until he reaches an appropriate SEDARIS reading age.

that coat

1st grade boy: "why do ya always where that coat?"

me: "what do you mean?"

boy: "that coat! why do ya always where it?"

me: "because it's my coat."

boy: "but ya always where that one!"

me: "it's my only coat!"

boy: "well, i have a ton of coats!"

good for you little boy. good for you.
