Happy Birthday Connor!

Connor's birthday was a few days ago. This was the party that was for both him and Uncle Justin at Grandma and Grandpa Critchfield's. Next year it will be for baby Alana too!

Happy Valentine's Day from Chloe!

Valentine's Dance

Today Carl, Chloe, and Connor all went to their first dance - a Valentine's dance at Carl's pre-school. They all had a blast. Carl and Chloe danced the morning away (it was only 11:00 am) and Connor fully enjoyed the cookie table.

Smoking in the car

Today while driving home from Walmart, Little Carl and I had a conversation about how dangerous it is to smoke in the car. It turns out he was much more informed on the matter than I was. This is how it went:

LC: Mom, it’s really not safe to smoke in the car.

Me: Yes, you know the inside of the car gets all smoky and that smoke is bad for all the other people that breathe it too… (here I was about to explain something called lung cancer)

LC: And if the hot part touches the inside of the car it will start the car on fire.

Me: Yes.

LC: And then all the people in the car will burn and die.

Me: Yeah.

LC: And then the car will blow up.

Me: Wow.

So if you know anyone who might be tempted to smoke in the car, please pass along this important information.

Thanks again Steve and Lori!
