this is a list of things that we, as a family, laugh about. Things I never want to forget...

• turtle rock - Westville Apartments
• Dad & Kelsi ice skating when Kelsi was 5. Dad goes out to test the ice and tells Kelsi, "Go get mom if I fall in". Kelsi thinks, "I don't even know where I am"
• cheese curls in a baggy full of pins, "I'm just picking around the pins"
• stick figure family every morning at Teddy Bear
• friggin' pop tart,Madison, 2, Kids won't stop fighting over who gets which pop tart and I had a breakdown in the car yelling that it was a friggin' pop tart, they are exactly the same, why do you have to fight over everything! and i start crying so they both start crying. When we get to Merri's, Madison walks in and tells Merri, "Mommy cried in the car. She cried in the car because of the friggin' pop tart.
• Kelsi, 4, "Mommy look at the caterpillar. Its so cute." Madison, 2 walks over, looks at it and stomps on it. Kelsi cries. "MOM!"
• Rocks! Rocks! Madison, 4, plays with the rocks in the fish tank then scoops the fish out and puts it on the counter. Patting it she says, its ok, you're alright. The fish is not alright. The kids don't tell us this story until they are 10 and 12 because they thought we'd be mad she killed the fish.
• crayrons
• Brabra
• Madison and 77. Its like a code for Madison not catching on to what's going on.
• going to the mall during April vacation with the girls
• trips to Skateland
• jelly fish hands with Kelsi holding hands
• preying mantis. this was a fake bug that Kelsi was afraid of because she thought it was real. me and Sean would get her to believe it was fake so she would hold it then we'd make it move and scare the crap out of her. it was mean but fun. she's scream then laugh so she had fun too. we think.
• chasing Kelsi around while holding Madison's baby feet out yelling stinky feet. can't figure out why Kelsi has foot problems now.
• Wee Willie Winkie. Kandi use to tell the nursery rhyme so scarily that Kelsi was afraid Wee Willie Winkie was going to get her if she didn't go to bed. We would say, uh oh, I think I hear him and she would get in bed. The more we did it, the more scared she got. We had to stop because she became terrified.
• when Kelsi was almost 2 and she locked Sean out of his truck with the keys in it and we couldn't get her to unlock it. We had to break a window because she was locked in the truck with all the windows shut with the keys.
• Kelsi called 911 after learning about it at school. The police came and Sean insisted no one at the house had called. He let them in and the kids insisted they didn't do it either. Only after they left did Kelsi admit she did it to see if it really worked.
