this just in....

that's right. this will be the headline special...where each piece of news is shocking and/or dumb enough to receive a worthy front page story with awesome headline. there were too many prospective titles to only choose one for this blog post. and most of these are from work. I'll just tack on our other news at the end.

circle circle, dot dot, now you need a rabies shot. no, the squirrels do not belong to us. and if you feed them, they might just bite you. duh.

crazy hair.
3 year old girl asks 2 year old girl a question. 2 year old turns to 3 year old and says "you have crazy hair."

sir, are you alright?
man falls asleep while waiting for children to look at all the animals in the manta aquarium. being the dad on a vacation is definitely the hardest job.

why is squidward a squid and not an octopus?
just in case you were ever curious, it's because the illustrator thought that 8 legs was too many, and made him look like he had poopy pants.

you baptized your child where?
what do you do when a dad dunks his infant into the dolphin pool and then walks away with her half dripping wet? your guess is as good as mine.

give me some of that misty goodness.
in the florida heat there is no excuse not to have your child fan and mist you.

you want to be what when you grow up?
you still have a lot of years of school left if you appear to be in high school, tell me that an octopus is a squid and a starfish is an octopus and then tell me you want to be a marine biologist.

yes, lettuce is high in fiber.
manatees eat lots of salad. lots of salad means lots of fiber. lots of fiber means lots of gas. lots of gas means lots of questionable bubbles arising from the manatee.

wazzup wood stork.
this number is pretty funny. wood storks when basking appear to be picking a fight. whats up.


I'm sorry you grilled your pet turtle.
"I used to have a turtle, not a sea turtle but a box turtle. then my dad put it outside so it could warm up. then we forgot. then we had hamburgers for dinner and the turtle was too close to the grill and it got too hot and it died." yikes.

howling at the moon....or clawing at the water.
both look crazy. pulling the water closer to you does not actually bring the dolphins with it.

goodbye guinea pig, hello sea lion.
"can I buy one? I'll take really good care of it...I'll build it a really big pool!" me: "do you hear that dad? you're building a pool!" dad: "well we'd have to get rid of the guinea pig that has been in our family for 7 years." girl: "ok!"

it's not smart to put your children where you can't reach them.
if you have 4 children and 2 hands, you probably shouldn't lift them up all onto rocks that are above your head.

and when that picture reappears on their wedding day, they will hate you.
in 10 years when you look at the picture of your kids in front of the frisky dolphins, you will laugh. until then, those around you will laugh at you for not noticing.

the soak zone really does soak you.
duh. I guess we didn't really believe it.

if you have vertically challenged bosoms, please don't wear a strapless swimsuit.
please.

no they are not robots.
you wouldn't believe how many times the question "are they real?" is asked in reference to our animals.

no, it is just an empty pool.
you also wouldn't believe how often "is there anything in there?" is asked.

thong bikinis. enough said.

wait we have one of those? ok so this was me. until about 2 days ago I didn't know our sink had a sprayer. did I just never look for one? did I get spoiled on our apartment sink that was a sprayer/faucet in one and just forgot they weren't attached? I must have cleaned around it 30 times.

in other news: rhett starts training his new employees today! I plan on going to enjoy lunch with him so I can meet the groups on either side of lunch. also, he leaves on thursday to head to texas for the summer offsite with his company. I will miss him mucho. but he is super excited to see everyone. we have also been busy pouring into all the church ministries. we are now officially a part of the nursery, youth, college, and small group ministries. we love our church home, and all of the friends it has brought us. I find out in just a week and a half if I will be kept on at work. I don't know what to expect. each day I get a different vibe, and I would rather just know one way or the other than wait it out any longer. I applied to a doggy daycare right near our house, and have been putting feelers out just in case I need to start job hunting. I have also found another great place to volunteer in the meantime, and will probably apply there in the next few weeks (the other place had too much training to be able to work it out this time around). we are tweaking our vacation plans for october, but not by much. love you all!
