So, what do you think it says below?

I saw it and cracked up.  Because doesn’t it say “only hot wheels can dance on the groin?”

When I asked Jackson to clarify what he wrote, he said very clearly, “Only Hot Wheels can dance on the drawing board!” (he tends to just finish words on the next line or wherever they fit on the page)

Of course.  Silly me. Poor Jackson just did not get why we could not stop laughing. And being the proper mother I am, he did it again and I told him how to spell everything the right way.

Mackenzie has developed quite an angry streak lately.  In the last week she has started to make this most unpleasant angry scream when she doesn’t get her way, or when no one is paying attention to her.  She also does it at quite inconvenient times.  Here’s the face:

I distinctly remember Morgan being the easiest and most laid back baby until she hit 12 months, when the feisty side of her started coming out.  It’s finally starting to tame a bit now that she is 3, but I see Mackenzie going the same route.  She has become a lot more difficult since about the 12/13 month mark, and most definitely has an opinion!

On a separate note, Morgan is finally pooping in the potty - yeah!!  She had her major breakthrough on Friday, and even stayed dry almost the whole night.  I heard her at about 2 am getting up to use the bathroom, but she did go some in her pull-up, although not much.  Jackson sleeps too heavily to wake up at night to use the bathroom, but I always suspected Morgan might night-train quickly because she is such a light sleeper.  Finally, officially only 1 in diapers!

We unknowingly conducted an interesting experiment today.  We have had issues in our house with ants on a wall above the counter in the kitchen - they come in from that outside wall.  I noticed a bunch again today, so wanted to put out some bait for them.  Our ant bait was gone, so I decided to make a homemade solution out of honey and borax.  I did just that, but it looked pretty solid, and Gavin wasn’t convinced the ants would go for it (our normal ant bait stuff is liquid).  So he made a solution of the fake maple syrup stuff and borax, heating it so that the borax dissolved.

Fascinating what happened.  He put the fake maple stuff next to the real stuff (raw honey), and within just a few minutes, every ant in a mile radius of our house was feasting away on the honey, and not a single one wanted to touch the syrup.

Amazing that ants know what is real and good for us (aside from the borax which will mean they will meet their fateful end very soon), and humans have such a hard time figuring it out, and we keep filling ourselves with the stuff that’s full of junk and chemicals.

If you haven’t just eaten, here’s the scene.  Honey up on the ledge, fake syrup down below (I promise it wasn’t just location - they were *everywhere before congregating on the ledge).  See the black?  Those would be the ants.
