After dropping off a trunkload of clothes and computer parts to Goodwill (finally!), we decided to take a detour to Costco before heading home to return Careese's diapers.
Tangent--Huggies diapers seem to be questionable in quality sometimes. One time we had an entire bag that was cut weirdly so every poop Evan had (this was back in the formula day) went straight up his back or leaked like no other. Another bag had bugs in it. In this last batch, the little sticky velcro parts that keep the diaper together were attached too low on the diaper so it was as if we were putting a "1" diaper on Careese with an extension to make it look like a "2"--it was supposed to be a "2".
Another tangent--When you ask Evan how old he is, he says "Evan is "4" and Careese is "1". Please note, this refers to diaper size. I'm sure Evan will say Careese is "2" now.
Ok back to the story. So as we turned in on Sudley Manor, Evan saw a big Chili outside and shouted "Applebees" in the clearest, unmistakable voice. We were pleasantly surprised.
Then during an American Idol commercial, the "Wanda Sykes" voice came on and I asked Evan what commercial that was for and he said "Chilis"...
Obviously someone has restaurant dyslexia.
Speaking of dyslexia, Evan is a sign reader--Although, everything he reads is backwards, and we can't seem to get him to read things the right way. Maybe that will be good for when we try to teach Evan Chinese or Japanese...or Farsi.
He's really good at it too.
Some of his latest:
I-L-E-D
E-C-U-D-O-R-P H-S-E-R-F
We've also figured Careese's on-off button. Life is so much better now that we've got that knocked down. Now if only Bev and Evan can stay away from getting sick. Problem: We have twelve kids in our Nursery and many parents are dropping off their sick kids. Last Sunday, we had three runny noses in our class--none of them ours. Now the three of us (sans Careese) have runny noses. I think it's time to send out a friendly reminder to keep your kids with you if they're sick...otherwise we'll just be sick...well, at least until June.
Edit: So I wanted to "update" the blog...ended up having to overhaul it since I did some "irreversible" things to it. Good thing I have mad skills...oh well, we've been wanting a new design for a while now anyway! Comments, suggestions, complaints, derogatory remarks?

Nice overhaul! I really like this one. And yes, that Sonics/Spurs game was definitely a miracle. Obviously your challenge to the Sonics didn't go unnoticed!
Oh, and I noticed the same thing with Evan reading right to left. When he showed me his "EVAN" train it was N-A-V-E. :)
What a funny man, that little Evan. Do you think he's just trying to be funny?
Apparently Huggies has some quality control issues. It never occurred to us that it could be that. We definitely had a lot of blown diapers with Huggies.
I like the new look!
i have never had a problem with huggies and was surprised to read your post about it. sadness! elias has had only a single leak with huggies (besides the explosive diarrhea week, and when he had that there was nothing that could keep the poop in) and that was just because i forgot to change him for a very, very long time and he had downed a lot of liquid that day. he has actually had a lot of leakage with pampers. i don't know why. i think the quality of the diapers seems fine, but every time we experiment with a pampers pack it always backfires and pee gets everywhere. body shapes must come into play somehow.
i am loving your new blog look. i would like to have something more artistic like it but i enjoy the versatility of being able to change colors and fonts every month or so, so i have to settle for one of the pretty ugly blogger templates so that i can lazily abuse their widgets. anyway, another plus is that your posts are nestled so nicely in the middle and the skinny paragraphs make for aesthetically pleasing reading. bravo!
