Just a little off the forehead, please

Sometimes I get to leave the house alone. It is good and I have no complaints other than this one: If you happen to be the parent left in charge and give the 5-year-old a bath, please remove all adult implements from the bathtub. Namely the razor. Because if she tries to shave her forehead, the results are not pretty.

In Josh's defense, Emma is the one child that we don't generally have to worry about mayhem with. Why on God's green earth she would try to shave her forehead is beyond me. But, a warning to other mothers. Should you come home, and your husband stop you before you get in the door with these words: "I can explain", be afraid.

Pictures to follow. Tomorrow, maybe. She is very self-conscious at this point, which is only exacerbated by the fact that, every where we go, people exclaim, "What happened to your forehead??? Did you cut it?"

Have you ever read Stephanie's blog? What? NO???? Oh, right, that is because it is only on MySpace and the rest of the world can't read it. This is one seriously funny lady, so if you know her, send her an email* and tell her to get the blog out in THE REAL WORLD FOR CHRIST"S SAKE. gahh.
*I have a serious dislike for people who use the phrase "Shoot me an email". If you currently use that phrase, stop immediately. Because it makes you a tool.

Dex has taken to trying to ride other people. Like a pony. Even poor Riley is subjected to this. He is the worst with Claire. Every time she is on the floor, he runs RUNS at full speed toward her shouting, "Car! My Car! Wanna wide my Car!" Claire is not amused. The point (and there is one, I swear): don't sit or lie on the floor near Dex. You will be mounted.
