Laffy Taffy Worthy?

You decide.

Jokes in these parts have evolved. It used to be the "knock knocks" that had us laughing. This is the type of comedy that has us in stitches of late:

me: "Why did the horse go to the mall?"
answer: "To get her neigh-ls done." Get it? (I totally made that up.)

Avery followed with: "Why did the horse go downstairs?" (We keep the tools and such in the basement.)
answer: "To find some neigh-ls." Pretty funny.

But this one takes the cake...
Mason: "Why did the horse go downstairs?"
answer: "To get the ta- weezers (nieghs the word tweezers, like a horse.) You're on your own with this one. (I'll admit it had us laughing the hardest.)

I feel like a new me. I seriously hibernate during the winter. Thankfully it's not very long in these parts. Now that the sun is smiling, and the birds are singing I have a skip in my step. The other day I took Mason and Brittain to Fun Depot, they have this great soft play area that is usually jam-packed with little bodies. We had that place to ourselves for more than an hour. Mason was afraid to go down the slides himself. He usually hangs with Avery but since she was at school he convinced me to go down a couple of times. It was so much fun! Brittain laughed almost the entire time we were there. I was so bummed I didn't have my camera.

We've also been diggin' the park scene.



And the front porch.



I love this picture of Brittain! I just want to grab her out of that picture and twirl her around. She is just getting to be so much fun. Yay for sunshine!!

I'm so jealous. It was 70 degrees here on Saturday but the kids were still recuperating from strep so we didn't go out. Then Sunday was 30 degrees and 6 inches of snow. Bring back the warm temps. I can't wait to take Adrianna out in the warm weather and let her feel the grass.

Those jokes are definitely worthy of Laffy Taffy. Those are some really cute pictures. Will you be coming out to Fort Sill when Eric is there? Maybe I can convince you to do a photo shoot of my family while you are there if you come out.

Okay, Mom. Now that one made me laugh out loud. Good thing I wasn't drinking a coke. It would have been everywhere. Including out the nose.
Thanks for the comments all.

I LOVE your pictures, as usual. Those were some hilarious jokes. I love that Avery came up with that all on her own.
