Lucy's new chair is so much better !Got the old one covered and the
man brought it back this morning.
Lucy wasted NO time hopping right
on up into it to show the man how
happy she was to have her chair
back.

You will notice a trend in the House de la Magoo...she cannot hold her licker either. In fact, we are in a lick-but-don't-eat ritual at the breakfast/brunch/lunch/dinner/supper table.
Notice the small girlchild right at home in the middle of all the boys...
Mom makes yet another smart-assed comment to Boudreaux.
He did not like it when I asked, "Is that your girlfriend?"

Today, the precious, peachy, prancing, princess of East Texus and general queen of the house turned two years old. She is a sweet, sweet little pumpkin, except when she is screaming "no," "mine," or "hobbit" in the Exorcist voice that Rufus taught her.
I made some home made cupcakes (no boxed mix even! Go Fatty!), vanilla with vanilla buttercream icing, and piped flowers on the top. After running to pee (three kids, no control), I came back to find Magoo sitting at the table, happily eating one of the them. Thankfully, I still had enough to fill up the "cake cake" tree.



This year our garden has been very pretty! I even sneaked in some weed spray on the aisles, so we don't have to weed it much. We've had lots of squash and cucumbers, some Japanese eggplant, and some okra. The asparagus plants are coming along (too young to harvest much). Our tomato plants are so heavy with fruit that many of them have fallen over but are still growing. But the big surprise was that we had an artichoke emerge! It is really too hot to grow these here, but we gave them a chance. Unfortunately, when I was trimming it to steam it, the artichoke had a ring of rot in the middle. :(

Boudreaux go get the diaper box and then I informed him that since he was now 10 years old, he was ready to start helping me change Magoo's dirty diapers. He didn't look pleased but he also had a look on his face like he knew I was up to my normal b.s. He opened the box and was excited to find birthday loot. Later on, we celebrated by turning two chocolate cupcakes into wax-topped bonfires.
