Strange Conversations

***Grunting from the bathroom****
Me: Sounds like Griffin is pooping.
Grif: Dad! Come check this out!  My poop is green!
Me: Great.  That is nice Griffin.  You know why it's green?
Grif:  Why, am I okay?
Me:  Yes.  Its from your blue cotton candy ice cream.
Grif:  Oh, thats cool!  Mom, grandma, grandpa, come see my poop!  Its green! 
Grandma:  Oh my, I have never seen anything like that.
It was shamrock green.  Steph wouldn't let me take a picture for the blog.


Downtown Granville at Whits (the ice cream place in town)
Grif:  That girl has a green tongue.
Me:  Maybe she is an alien.
Grif: No, aliens live in space, not in town.


One morning Leyton was a wiggle worm while I was feeding him breakfast.  Twisting and turning in his seat, so I twisted him back around so I could finish feeding him and he started crying.
Steph (from the other room):  Whats wrong, why is he crying?
Grif (running to Steph):  Leyton was wiggling in his seat and wouldn't sit still so daddy punched him in the face!  That wasn't very nice, was it?


Nice Grandpa: I can't play, I have a bone in my leg
Grif: Oh, did you eat some chicken bones?  'Cause Guster ate a chicken bone and got sick.


Grif: I didn't hide the turkey in your car.
There is a little access hole from my back seat to the trunk in my car.  I found out later that Griffin has been using this as a trash repository.  I opened up the trunk one day to find some lunch-able containers, a plastic spoon, and an empty zip-lock.

Dish Washer Chaos

Steph decided to run the dish washer at the vacation condo, but she used clothes detergent instead of the dish washer tablets.

Wisk + Dish Washer  =

Soapy overflowing mess all over the kitchen floor.  And results in a note...

Lush

Leyton got a hold of one of my empty beer bottles.

Taking a first taste.

He likes it!

 I'm so wasted!

Boating

We had our annual Fat Camp weekend and got the opportunity to take the boat out for a while on Sunday.

Grif loves driving the boat.

Everything okay back there.  Yup she is still hanging on, but not for long!

Mom's turn.

Aaaaaaagh!!!!!

Dad and Uncle Jamie on the knee boards.  Like old pros; and I stress old.

Even Griffin got in on the action.

Floating while the slack is taken out of the rope.

He wasn't too sure when we got out, but later asked to go again, so I suppose he liked it.

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie

Something doesn't seem right...

Griffin and Leyton both had orange shirts on the other day.  When I changed Griffin out of his swimming trunks and helped him back into his clothes, I aparently grabbed the wrong shirt.

Hungry Man

Apparently we aren't feeding our youngest enough...

I'm so hungry.  Where can I find something to eat?

What is this on the bottom of my formula dispenser?  Crusted on formula???

Hmm...  Tastes like it!! 

Nom nom nom...

Safety First

Grif pushing Leyton on the swing.  Note the safety glasses.  You have to be safety conscious if you are going to do under dogs....

New Back Door

The new door on the back of the house is nearly complete.  I have a very small amount of touch up painting to do on the brick mold and siding to give it the official sign off.

Leyton doing his final inspection of the interior.

I think we have a problem.

 Gotcha!  Everything looks (and tastes) great!

Agile

Griffin is gaining more coordination.  More than what he had isn't necessarily saying much, but its an improvement.

Carnival

In addition to the parade, Granville shuts down the main downtown area for a carnival.  We stopped by on Sunday to partake in the festivities.  We rode our bikes down into town.  It was a short visit as we were all roasting.  It was a little toasty on Sunday.

Griffin's favorite ride was the, "Dinosaur train".  It took a little coaxing to get him on...

It may be a little tough to spot him on the small video.  Hit the full screen button.  He is wearing a white shirt with red sleeves and sunglasses.

4th of July Parade

Granville puts on one heck of a 4th of July party.  The parade was Monday and we were advised to go Sunday evening and stake out a spot on the parade route.  I was glad I did as many spots were already taken!

I think this was Griffin's first parade (definitely Leyton's first) and we had a ball.

Griffin took this picture.  He's a little shutterbug.

Leyton is wasted from all the pre-Parade partying!

But he's still patriotic!

Grif was really excited about seeing the fire trucks.  He still wants to be a Garbage man when he grows up though.

There were several "class of 19XX" floats in the parade and the people next to us decided to unleash super soakers on one of the floats.  The float riders responded with ill-aimed water bottle sloshing.  I think Leyton got more water on him than anybody.  He was not amused.

No 4th of July Parade is complete without Towmater.

The parade lasted about an hour and a half.  Afterwards, I asked Griffin what his favorite part was:

Grif: That horse pooped on the road!  It was so funny!
