Lovebug is walking around with a sticker on his cheek. It cracks me up that a boy who HATES lotion and sun-block can handle having a sticker on his face. He wanted one after Ironflower got to put one on her "going on the potty" chart, because he loves to do or have anything his sister does or has. The other night he learned how to say "naked", except to him it's "nake-ned". I should have videotaped him running around naked while yelling "Nake-Ned!", but my children always freeze when a camera comes out.
Lovebug will drop whatever he's doing to approach the camera with his adorable mischievous grin, which isn't so bad because at least you can get one good shot in before he tries to grab the camera. Ironflower, who normally thrives on attention, gives most cameras a smile so false that pictures don't even look like her. Or she hides her face altogether. And trying to get both of them together requires the precision of a strike force and the talent of Annie Leibowitz. On Labor Day they were eating ice cream on my parents' patio. They were standing next to each other, dripping ice cream all over and having a grand time. I was so caught up in the moment that I waited for a few minutes before starting the camera search.
Of course it was too late. Lovebug started charging the usual camera holders and Ironflower turned away. The magic went uncaptured. At least on film.

When The Princess took off her clothes before her bath, she used to rub her belly and say "I'm so Sexy" except it came out sounding more like "I'm sooooo sexty".
I love your answer to the proverbial What do you do all day!!! Maybe I'll start saying I "smoke crack" too!
