This is the face of "Ha ha ha. I've kept you up two days straight!"
I have a similar picture of myself fascinated by the concrete, only it was the gutter, and I think I sampled a worm or two. Don't ask. I also played INSIDE the dumpster and chomped a swordtail fish from the family fish tank. (just a side note...I'm still impressed that as a 2 year old I could CATCH a fish from the fish tank. I'm just saying..)
I didn't realize this was going to turn into a confession session, but while I'm at it, I told Brian yesterday about my "early years" as a thief. I stole chocolate milk from the cafeteria lady at least a dozen times. What's a girl to do who only has a peanut butter and honey sandwich on homemade whole wheat bread? I love that combination now, but in first grade, it was embarrassing. I got pretty good at pretending to drop my quarter in the can, when really I was lifting a quarter that was already paid and dropping it back down again. Sneaky, I know. I had bad friends at that school. Terrible influence.
Anyway, this confessing was sparked by my Book of Mormon reading. A friend is doing a 30 day challenge to read the book and I've joined in. Perfect for the month of April. I read a scripture in Alma 5 yesterday about having a "perfect remembrance of my guilt" and the chocolate milk crime came rushing to mind. You think if I mail away 5 bucks to the school I'll be forgiven? Or is there some kind of statute of limitations on milk thievery? Good thing I was only 6 and not baptized yet. I guess if that's the first thing that comes to my mind though, I'm doing ok.
Wow, this has taken a weird turn. Evidence of my delirium I guess.

Ha! This is the first I've heard of your chocolate milk story. You had some guts! Love the first picture with Avery's tongue sticking out. Really, what's the deal with why teeth have to be such an ordeal?
