Things I learned today...

1. I should have told Trey how to eat a Cadburry Egg before giving it to him in my car. (He stuffed the whole thing in his mouth. There was chocolate dripping from his chin and squirting through his lips as he tried to chew it up)
2. Good friends never really go away. They always know what to say.
3. There is no need to spend hours raking your lawn clippings and using them to mulch around your baby trees. Within a few days your free range goats will have eaten all of your neat little mounds of grass.
4. Ice Cream is a good bribe for pooping on the potty in a public restroom.
5. A 3 year old (named Trey) will not take a nap while watching Dora. (Even if he promises he will...)
6. Just because the baby will sleep all night in her bassinet does not mean she'll sleep all night in her crib.
7. You can make it from Otwell to Jasper with your low fuel light on.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

8. A bouquet of wildflowers gathered with your son is better than a dozen roses!
