ASHLYN: So, some friends and I somehow got on the discussion of some of the gross "bathroom" things our kids have done when they were younger, and it brought to mind a couple disgusting things that Ashlyn did when she was younger. And if you ask me, these are "hands down" some of the worst things ever!! 1. One Sunday afternoon, some friends of ours invited our family over for Sunday dinner. I would bet Ashlyn was about 18 months. We had finished eating dinner and were sitting around the table while the kids were off playing. We realized we hadn't seen Ashlyn for a while so we started looking for her. We then found her in the bathroom. Her face, hair and clothes were soaken wet cause she had been playing in the toilet. The worst part is, when I looked in the toilet it was full of pee. One of their kids had used the toilet and forgotten to flush, and Ashlyn had been playing and drinking it!!!!! YUCK!!!! 2. So, you know the toilet scrub brushes, Right? Well, you have the brush and then there is a little cup that you put the brush in after you clean that collects the liquid and stores the brush. Well one day I found Ashlyn drinking the liquid out of the toilet brush cup!!!! EEWWW! So you know its a mixture of toilet water, toilet "grime", and cleaning chemicals. Can it be any worse???

BLAKE AND ASHLYN: I just overheard Blake and Ashlyn "pinky promise" that they would always watch "Hot Wheels." (Hot Wheels is just a "boy" cartoon about guys driving fast cars. They happen to be watching it at the moment.) I just think it is pretty funny that they even know what a "pinky promise" is! -8/23/09-

ASHLYN: Lately Ashlyn has started coming up to us and saying that she needs to tell us a secret. She then comes up to our ear and whispers that she loves us sooo much. Isn't she sweet? -8/12/09-

BLAKE: A few evenings ago we had a church social that we went to. Terry and I were busy chatting with another couple while the kids ran off to play with the other kids. One of the ladies we go to church with has an English accent. She came up to me to tell me that she had gone over to Blake and his friend Drew to fuss at them for something that they were doing. But when she told them to stop doing whatever it was they were doing, Blake looked at her with big eyes and said, "Wow, you speak Spanish!?!" She said, "No." Blake said, "Well it sure sounds like you do!" Obviously Blake assumes that anyone with a different sounding accent must speak spanish. She thought that was just hilarious, so she had to come over and tell us. -7/31/09-
