Be on the lookout...for the world's best Dad

Yep, it's a wanted poster. I'm posting this in honor of my Dad ('cause nothing says Happy Father's Day like a pretend wanted poster :)

Anyway when you have a family member that's a cop (thanks Officer Ray) you end up with mug shots of your kids--and pretend wanted posters. My brother whipped this up a few years back since my Mom kept getting mad at my Dad for spending too much time--and money--at the local neighborhood greenhouse (in my mom's defense, the man does buy A LOT of plants.)

So Happy Father's Day Daddy. I may not have inherited your green thumb but I know that I'm the person I am today because of you. Here's wishing you many undetected trips to the nursery (You deserve it!)

Wordless Wednesday

A lawyer walks into a bar...

I figured I'd better start brushing up on my lawyer jokes since it looks like we may one day have another lawyer in the family. My BIL (or "brother-in-law" since I know my parents don't know texting shorthand :) is the only lawyer I know at the moment. But here's the conversation I had in the car yesterday that may change all of this...

Kobe: Mom?

Laura: What Kobe?

Kobe: Do you think for Christmas you could get me some law books?

Laura: I guess. Are you going to be a lawyer when you grown up?

Kobe: Maybe. I'm just thinking it would be fun to learn more about law.

Yes people, my child used the word fun to describe learning about law. Tehani piped in and asked if Kobe just wanted to read those books so that way he could break the law (thanks Tehani)

I told Cynthia about the incident and she informed me there are some kid-friendly books that talk about strange laws and such. I decided this was a bad idea since it would only encourage Kobe's new found interest in learning legal speak. The other option is to to just give him a regular book of legal code. I'm guessing that's all it would take to suck the "fun-ness" out of learning about the law :)

Flashback Friday

Today's flashback is from Dec 2008 (or at least that is what the digital time stamp on my photo says :)

This is a pic of our two favorite Tahitians--and their families (or at least most of the fam.) I'm pretty sure Norm and the kids and I were in Chicago for the holidays and "The Mom's" had the idea for us to have a family dinner a la Sweet Tomatoes. It seemed like a good idea. Except its a buffet--which means we ate and ate and ate (But it's ok that we all gorged ourselves since "It's only salad," right?)

(And yes, Tehani is falling asleep on my mom's purse in the picture :)

You've got mail

Apparently I've got a new job...as a spokesperson for one of the departments on campus.
