Poop is timeless

I pass this sign everyday on my way too and from work. 9 times out of 10 there are large garbage sacks that probably are full of the promised "free horse poo". Either way- it gives me a little giggle. And if anyone is looking for any last minute Christmas gifts for someone who has been more naughty than nice, I could probably overnight some...well...
The kids "helping" me pick up packages from the post
The annual Christmas cutout cookie "kitchen trashin" was a success as ever. Older kids=bigger mess!
Eric's "exercise in futility" as the kids and I made the yummy cookies
Elijah Von Cookie Snatcher strikes again!

Here we come full circle- back to poo. After all, is there any more fascinating topic when you are 2 or 4 years old? BTW "Everyone poops" is a great gift to buy for any parent that you are trying to "phase out" as a friend. On the other hand, I secretly get a kick out of listening to my kids discuss whether a hippo or a whale makes a bigger poop or what snake poop looks like. (orange with polka dots if you ask Ava, "big" if you ask Eli) I guess you there are some things we never really grow out of...

Poop is a tough topic to comment on...I noticed that no one has left you any comments concerning it. I have also seen that sign while driving to your house and have had to giggle! :)

It's always somethin', isn't it?! Poo's been a hot topic in our household, too- a side effect of Mom's chemo. A greasy cheeseburger finally did the trick today- she got victory! I can't believe I'm typing this...it's the last day of the semester, I'm loopy.... so very, very sorry....

Wow...poop...where do I begin??? BTW...how did you become the proud owner of the "Everybody Poops" book anyways?!? Too funny. I'm happy to get to see some of the fun Christmas festivities that go on within your family. Oh, and the bag of horse pooh...free to a good home...I'm soo confused??? Are there a lot of farmers over there or something? I must admit I've never seen that one before. Happy holidays to you guys.
