There were some good ones early in the month, but my clear favorite was the "moustache" post later in the month. Cal was SO excited to wake up and see that.

Cowboy Cal eating beans for lunch because "that's what cowboys eat."

Cowboy Cal napping with his hat and "boots" (not pictured) because "cowboys sleep with their boots on" (I think to protect them from snakes)

Ella after having eaten only half of a homemade chocolate chip cookie. Not pictured are her hands and legs, which were also caked in chocolate chip "residue."

chuckled through this one this AM:
Cal: Daddy, remember when you put spicy stuff and a band-aid on my thumb to stop me from sucking my thumb?
Dan: I do. Did it work?
Cal: Nope.

managed to negotiate Cal out of his jeans and into some shorts this AM - Mommy 1, Cal 0.

enjoyed digging for the the story behind the missing Croc earlier this afternoon:
Me: Cal, do you know where your other Croc is?
Cal <standing with one Croc on his foot>: Yes, upstairs... I threw it at Daddy.
Me: Why'd you throw it at Daddy, Cal?
Cal: I was trying to wake him up.

wonders if she's the only person to have washed a diaper in the washing machine on more than one occasion...

wonders why she's the chosen 1am "Cal Can't Help It" (Fergie) turner onner every night and is fighting the urge to tell Cal this is a job for Daddy.

enjoyed Cal's rendition of Fergie's "Clumsy" from behind the closed bathroom door earlier tonight: "Can't help it, Cal can't help it... boo bay... can't help it, Cal can't help it... boo bay..."
July 14, 2012
is listening to Cal's tune "I want 'Cal Can't Help It' back on... I'm ready to make a good choice now...Mommy...my leg is stuck <confirmed it's not>..." and holding firm on not giving in to him. Perhaps he'll just sing himself to sleep in lieu of Fergie not doing so.

just got a character-building run in, and is now sitting outside in this beautiful weather watching her kids play in dirt. :)

just watched Ella, as she shoved the last of her Nutrigrain Bar into her mouth while making "mmmmm" sounds, get scolded by Cal, "it's not funny, Ella. Don't smirk at me - it's not funny."

thinks Cal needs to practice his "ignore it" skills a bit - I told him the best thing to do with a wasp is to ignore it, and he proceeded to "roar" at it, chase it and shake the chair it was hovering over. Then he stomped his foot and declared, "I stepped on him." I think he did.

Cal was told last night that to grow a moustache he needed to eat all of his chicken. So he ate all of his chicken and woke up with a moustache this AM!

was amused by this last night: Cal, from the living room after having passed on dinner which the rest of us were still eating in the kitchen, "Daddy... Daddy... Daddy Leatherman... Do you hear my stomach rumbling?"

Those who know the Notre Dame Fight Song may appreciate this exchange I had with Cal this AM. It went something like this:
Cal: "Mother Nature rains on Notre Dame football players."
Me: "Oh yeah? Why is that?"
Cal: "They shake down the thunder."
