"Dad, is that a pirate hat?"

Yesterday at breakfast Glen was in his white uniform. Anson hadn't seen it before, and kept asking questions about it. As Glen was walking out for work, he grabbed his cover (hat). Anson said, "Dad, is that a pirate hat?" Glen explained that it was the good guys hat who fight the pirates. It made me chuckle. I'm currently wishing for some good guys to fight the millions of ants in our new home. I think I will be forever cursed with vermin in my home. I'm not kidding that there can't be one crumb in the kitchen, or those pests are all over it by the hundreds. I'll be calling the landlord, or losing my mind before the end of the week.

Hiram and Anson are adjusting well to their new home. They are acting more and more like brothers. Anson can be heard saying, "Hiram, help us, don't hinder us." Hiram loves to run as fast as he can when he gets the chance. He'll say, "fast legs", and "hustle" while he runs. He also thinks it's funny to run away from me. When I finally catch him and tell him not to run away from me, he will say "Why mommy? Why?!" with his finger pointed at me. I can't believe my 18 month old is asking me that already.
