Or you know, not so different. Playground shenanigans with toddlers!

Don't you just love the smell of rotting flesh?

No? Then you're probably unlikely to enjoy the corpse flower, Amorphophallus titanum, which is currently blooming at the local 4-H Children's garden.

And here, Jeneric shows us how to find a corpse flower and how to pronounce the latin name.

What in the world: answer

Whoops! Friday suddenly became Monday. Drum roll, please!

The answer:
Nail polish! Yes, it is true that Jeneric dearly wishes to wear nail polish. And yes, both Mama and Daddy think she's too young for the harsh chemicals of adult polish. But we may crack and get her some Piggy Paint.

Who's taking bets on how long it will take Toddler Wily to ask for her own nail polish/play-doh finger tips?

Unexpected

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition! Or shear wind storms. But a shear wind storm tore through our backyard, killing our electricity for 12 hours and doing a wee bit of damage. Good thing we're renting!

Zoo... again

Wow, a quick search of our blog reveals that we go to the zoo quite a lot. How unusual for a family with 2 toddlers!

Our latest zoo folleys:
