kids!

a few weeks back my sister was visiting with her family.  she has a son (james, 4 years old) and a daughter (caroline, 1 year old).  one afternoon caroline and i were hanging out.  she was walking through the living room and i had started an episode of the mindy project.  so she's walking through the room and the opening credits start to play...



she stops half way through what she was doing,  baby bounce danced in place while the song was playing and when the song ended she continued across the room.  it was just about the funniest thing i have ever seen.

it made me wish that people took opportunities to enjoy the moment like that more often.  you hear some funky music, you dance, end of story.

and now a story about james b/c this is seriously cracking me up for days.  i'm just going to share the exact message i got when i first saw this picture. hope you don't mind, michael!  anyway, here it is:

this made me laugh b/c I was like "who is that girl with my brother" and then I was like "wait, that's JAMES"

James smuggling potatoes.

 that's from when i visited idaho and kurg gave us a tour of the farm.  and that's my nephew creepin' on the picture and trying to sneak out potatoes.  ps, i totally think he looks like marty mcfly in that outfit, right?

 anyway, whenever i think about this picture i start laughing.  priceless.
