Just a little fyi...
Did you know that if your recently two year old toddler stands up on and jumps off of you 30-35inch high couch, and kicks her feet up so she lands square on her rump, that she is still probably ok. At that age, your toddler's tailbone is most likely mostly cartiledge and because of that, won't break the same a bone would and is actually very durable. Hmmm...the more you know.
p.s. yes, kenzie flat-out jumped off the couch. In plain site and on purpose landed on her pooper. Poor thing got the wind knocked out of her and had a hard time skipping and hopping for the rest of the day. She's a-ok now but still living life on the edge.

coming soon UPDATED
very soon as in the next 12-16 hrs soon...
Operation
Eat Mor Chikin
UPDATE: Yeah, by the next 12-16 hrs I really meant the next five days...but I digress. We had a Chick Fil A open up shop near us recently and thru the grapevine (ie. the radio) we heard that the first one hundred customers on the first day would be getting free Chik Fil A for a year. As good as that sounds it's a bit misleading. IT's actually 52 free chicken sandwhich combo meals. 52 free meals take once a week spans the whole year, hence the "free chik fil a for a whole year!" mentality everyone had.
Too make a long story short, we drove by this Chik Fil A the day before around 830-ish to see if anyone was lining up. At that time, there were about 30-35 people in line. We thought we were good until at least 12 or 1 in the am. So 12 or 1 in the am rolls around and we thought about it for a minute..."you know, i think we'll be ok until 3-330...". So we went back to sleep and we both (Cort and I) got back up at 3, made sure the kids were taken care of (and someone was able to watch over them) and gathered up some blankets and chairs and headed on out.
One pair of socks did not do the job, my toes were NUMB by 430. The Chik Fil A opened at 630 so had a long way to go. When we got there, the line didn't seem too long. We thought we were easliy in the 80-100 range. Well, after waiting for an hour or so, we got word that we're supposed to register inside. How nice of them to tell us after we'd been waiting an hour, so kind! I go in and register first since you had to have a photo id to do so (not sure why) and Cort didn't have hers. I get in and in registering, I find out that i'm 112. Ouch. We were close but we didn't cut it. All was not for naught though, if we could hang out until 630, they were going to have a drawing for the over 100 people. They had the drawing, we didn't win but all the losers got a free calendar and a little cow plush. All in all I had Cort and I had a good time hanging out with each other but we came for the free food and we got our butts kicked. Eh...oh well...maybe next time.

that last post
I just had to comment on my last post, that post about the duck cake. Doesn't it look so good and so well-made? I must say, whoever was the fine craftsman who pieced that masterpiece did an excellent job. It didn't hurt that it tasted excellent too. I just wanted to take some time our and congradulate myself whomever made that cake. Fine job indeed...ahem...
