Spencer Fudwupper Fibbed Big

Check this book out!!!! Seriously one of my favs--so cute and funny--call it the pregnancy hormones, but I cried the first time I read it!!! Read the acknowledgement to President Clinton on the title page,,,even those wacko liberals (I'm not implying that ALL liberals are wackos) will laugh at it (they will have to--because it's true).

Oh, Kristi--forget the art kit for Christmas--I ordered this book for your kiddos for Christmas. meh---you know me, I will forget and they will get the art kit AND the book.

ANYWHO. This book was a golden find for our family--we read it at least 3 times a day for the 3 weeks we had it from the library. Well, it was library day, and I was gathering all of our books to return and Edwurd Fudwupper was nowhere to be found. We have a special place we put only library books, so they don't get mixed in with our books, and the boys know this. I was ticked. We spent 2 hours tearing the house apart looking for it, calling daddy, calling Grandma and Grammy to see if by chance they had come across it. NOPE. I chilled out after a while, but the boys knew I was not happy. They endured the "taking care of things that aren't ours" speech and the "dang it, do what mommy tells you to do" speech.

That was 2 weeks ago.

Last night, I was doing laundry and Chad was reading to the boys and yelled at me to come upstairs. He got done reading Where the Wild Things Are and Spencer threw the book on the ground--to which Cameron said, "Don't do that, that's how Edwurd Fudwupper got lost."

Spencer proudly pipes up. "That's not where Edwurd Fudwupper is."

Chad says, "Well where IS Edwurd Fudwupper?"

Spencer jumps off the couch and takes Chad into the kitchen and opens up the door to the lazy susan where we keep breakfast cereal and points to the very back. Sure enough--there was Edwurd!!! Dang kid. So Spencer gets to pay the library fine from his piggy bank. Chad says he probably didn't dare tell me where it was at first---yah, probably true. Dang kid.

Oh, earlier that day I went to throw something in the kitchen garbage and there were levis in there. I thought it was weird, they didn't look like Chad's work levis, and sure enough, they were mine. I asked who put mommy's levis in the garbage, and Spencer calmly said, "I did, because you were angwy at me." Dang kid,,,keep my eye on him AND the garbage.
