After a teacher at Ira's school congratulated me on my pregnancy, my first thought was "OMG, is it MINE?!" My next thought was, "Ira, that little fibber!" Finally, I wondered what else this kid was saying about us at his school. So, I enlisted his teachers to spy.

The above note came home with him yesterday. I walked in the house to find Leon sitting in the dark, stone-faced. He hands me the note, folded up. I cringe, thinking my kid did an epic wrong. I opened the note and found this hilarious exchange between him and the afternoon teacher. Phew! I have such a funny kid.

You have something on your face

There's nothing Ira loves more than rainbow sherbet from Gunther's. Well, except potty humor. Ready for Ira's favorite funny? Wait for it.....

"A horse with a fish butt."

An avalanche of giggles follow. Come on, it's a little bit funny, right?

Oh, hi. Sorry, been hiding.

I don't blog for a while and then I start to procrastinate under the pressure to get caught up.

There hasn't been much in the way of events. We did go to Las Vegas for J's birthday. It was my first time there and it was pretty much exactly how I expected: hot, loud, crowded, gaudy and expensive. But also kind of fun in that "when in Rome" way.

And now for some Las Vegas themed stats:
Buffets eaten at - 0
Yard-long drinks consumed - 1 (from Coyote Ugly no less, the UGLY STICK)
Boobs in the style of beef jerky seen - 1 set (never wished I could unsee something)
Fights witnessed - 1 (a dude hitting a woman)
Celebrity sighting - 1 (LADY GAGA at the Venetian!)
Girls in prom attire - 1,000 if there were a dozen.
Profession of love from strange men received - 1
Money spent gambling - $0! (why gamble when you can get ripped off by so many other things?)
Hours driven round trip - 18, no joke.
Minds completely "asploded" from watching Cirque Du Soleil's Beatles Love show - 2 (at least mine and Leon's)

Next time I want to get the drink that is half my height and requires a neck strap to carry it.
