gideon found a 1000 piece tractor puzzle in the move. he’s been dying to get into it. i promised him that when we were moved into the new house he could play with it. well, it was neither the time, nor the place but i finally got it out for him this week. i’ve had a thousand puzzle pieces kicking around my dirty, barren living room ever since. daddy tries to work on it on his lunch breaks, but the boys help too much, rendering the process futile. marc has threatened to scrap the project several times, but eventually he relents.

last night he was back to toiling away when mr. jehu walked up, stark naked, and peed in the cookie sheet, all over the pieces. marc had the dumbest look on his face, he couldn’t react at all. he just sat there and stared while jehu emptied his entire bladder and walked off.
