Mean…like calling someone a Toddler
Yesterday after the marathon, after everyone showered up, dried off and took a deep breath, we headed over to a running mate of Adam’s for a little after marathon party.
There were a ton of kids there. New kids. Kids that my kids have never met before. But the great thing about kids, that does not matter. They just make it work. They play and scrap and find things to get into and have fun and never even take the time to find out their new buddie’s name.
At the end of the night, while driving home, we asked the kids if they had fun. PJ said yes. Of course, we did find her standing up on a chair performing Chinese songs to the entire group while they falled about her giggling.
KP said the kids were mean. Did something happen, I asked. His response, “Yeah, they called me Butter Head!”
Shit, Butter Head or Butta Head (as it sounds like coming out of KP’s mouth), that is just perfect. Thanks to the kid who coined that…it’s absolutely perfect.

The week in pictures
I have decided to mix things up a little bit this week and only post photos of the day. Ok, maybe a few words with the photos or maybe not.
Filed under CT, Pictures | Comment (0)Summer in September
This was taken on Friday, September 26.
It was 85 degrees and HOT.
On the beach across the lake, a Coen Brother’s movie was being filmed.
The tree on the right hand side of the photo is just slightly showing signs of turning orange and changing for the season.
The toddler in red, squatting down on the right hand side of the photo, a few minutes before was plucked out of the water. He was face down, trying real hard to get up, but was just too small and just out a little too deep.
On this beautiful crazy changing day in September, I couldn’t imagine the sorrow of that mother having to leave the beach without her son, her life forever changed.
Thank God she didn’t have to.

Mom, I cleaned all the carrots out of the garden
Creating a little plot to grow vegetables has been one of the most joyful things I have done with my time this summer.
It’s not the fact that we have reaped bushels and bushels full of produce. It’s the fact that every time I turn around, KP has found another wonder.
At the beginning of the summer I would find him sitting on the grass snapping off sugar snap peas and popping them in his mouth, then came the basil that he would pick and smell and eat, now the peppers and tomatoes and the carrots that get taken right off the vine or out of the ground, wiped off and chewed up.
He doesn’t even care that everything is a little wrong or obsurdly small or still green (versus red), he just knows they grew because we loved them so much.
