Things that make me proud, make me laugh

This weekend the Big Boy was invited to a 5th birthday, birthday party on the Intrepid for one of his buddies. The Intrepid is a magnificent retired aircraft carrier war ship. It is loaded to the gills with great impressive helicopters and jets. It was an all boy party and they received a private tour of select jets/helicopters. As the tour guide, dressed as a pilot, was explaining that this was where the rockets were launched from, and this is where the machine gun bullets come out, my Big Boy raised his hand and stumped the guide with his question. All the mommies looked at me, I just smiled. The question..."What were they shooting at?" My thoughts, if we don't want to tell them the truth, then we shouldn't do the act.

The second thing that made me smile was the late Spring return of the ants to our master bathroom. No where else in the house, just the bathroom, and every year. Seeing the Little Man sit there with one square of tissue trying to pinch the ants, with all his might, is really fabulous. He's rather determined and the ants are very small.
