There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. ~Washington Irving

hurt knees, rain, miss ava, and a dead gecko

Andrew should know better.
Today he came home and said his knee hurt.
Why????
Because, in his words, "I played hackey sack at work all day."
Now I know why the Air Force is nicknamed the "Chair Force." Haha.
Well, guess what? My knee hurts too...and my hips...and back. It's because I carry around what feels like a 10-pound kid all day and on top of that, I lift a 2-year-old up and down on the potty about 20 plus times a day.

It poured rain all day. Maddox was amazingly good. We made up songs, played with his barn, and stayed in Target with Erika and Miss Ava for a whole two hours (waiting for the rain to pass...and it didn't).

A girl chased him at Target. She was so charmed by his orange rainboots she couldn't resist.

p.s. I killed the 5th gecko that has managed to sneak into our house. I don't care if some people think lizards are cute or shouldn't be killed...they are ugly, fast and freaky. I don't want them in my house! This one hid under my washing machine all night and chirped. It's a wonder I slept at all. This morning he made the mistake to come out. Thank God for nearby Rainbow flip-flops.
