this morning reid is putting toothpaste on his toothbrush & said, “mom, look! i’m putting toothpaste on with my soft hand.” it took me a minute to realize he meant that he had used his left hand to squeeze the toothpaste (he’s right handed).
so, he calls his dominant (right) hand his “hard hand” and his left hand his “soft hand.” too cute.
Reid calling from bathroom: “Moooooom! Will you wipe this kind of poop?”
Me: What kind of poop is it? Is it being funny & laughing at you?
Reid: No, it’s weird poop.
(I go to the bathroom)
Reid: What’s it like? Is it runny? It feels runny inside my butt.
my blog address has changed to http://dorfmunder.wordpress.com & after a day or so, you can also use www.dorfmunder.com to access it.
as you can see, i moved it, again. but this will be permanent, will keep the blog attached to www.dorfmunder.com no matter where it lives!
I have since learned that I wasn’t the first to think of the fruitfly trap, not even close. I did a search for them, and there are a bajillion results on similar water bottle traps. Although I did learn that balsamic vinegar & red wine (which Christina suggested) are the best bait, as they like fermented things best. I definitely got more with the balsamic vinegar than I did with the pineapple juice.
Oh and yeah, seems all of them are finally gone! It was seriously like “The Birds” in fruitfly style. Woke up one morning and they were EVERYWHERE, blech.
So a few days ago, it seems that in the box of nectarines we bought from Costco had a huge colony of fruitflies in it. They have been driving us NUTS. I got all clever this morning & made a contraption that may be useful to others, so thought I would share.
I cut the top of a plastic water bottle off (like at the spot where it’s the full diameter of the bottle. I poured pineapple juice into the bottom part of the bottle. I figured that would work best since it has a strong fruity scent. Then I put the top inside the bottom part inverted. Now when the little buttheads go into the bottle to get at the juice, they go down into the small hole and then have a hard time getting back out & eventually drown. Cruel, I know.
Here are pics to demonstrate, but if dead bugs disturb you, look away. 
You can vaguely see them floating around in there, right now there’s probably 15 of them.
See? I don’t always post completely useless stuff.
Another Reidism I want to quickly jot down for posterity. He has answered a good number of my questions today with the answer “Route 66.”
Me: “What do you want for breakfast, buddy?” Him: “Route 66″
Me: “What are you looking for?” Him: “Route 66″
The boy’s not right, and I’m glad.
I’m almost ashamed of posting that measly Yahtzee score a while back:
I was tagged by Gen! Here it goes.
The rules:
1) Link to the person who tagged you (see above).
2) Post the rules.
3) Share six non-important things / habits / quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people.
5) Make sure the people you tagged KNOW you tagged them by commenting what you did.
1) If it were socially acceptable, I would NEVER EVER wear shoes.
2) I make this very weird monkey kiss face in my sleep, and often notice it still stuck on my face in the mirror when I stagger to the bathroom, and end up laughing at myself.
3) I spend a lot of my day singing made up songs to the tune of real ones with really stupid lyrics, often about potty-ish topics. The kids seem to enjoy them.
4) The volume on my tv has to end with zero or five. So it has to be on 40, 45, 50, etc. To annoy me, Scott will put it on 43 and give me an evil grin.
5) I love to pop zits, and am always checking Scott for them. He doesn’t really like it, but I leave him no choice.
6) Copying off Gen’s idea since I can’t think of anything else … I hate ketchup.
I’m going to tag Jeff (who I am sure can find an oddity or two if he REALLY tries), Juliekins, & Erin.
No, I’m not talking about my husband. Geez, don’t be gross.
If you have ever sat & pondered about this, or if it kept you up for hours at night, this video sums up why Yadi is so awesome. Very few catchers give 2B time to prepare a ham sandwich for his arriving base stealer. Love it. LOVE IT.
I thought this was a pretty good spot on FSN, and thought I’d share. He looks like a wee baby in some of the earlier footage, but I guess he still is a wee baby at only 26. 
For those who have a hard time telling the difference, the older stuff is when he was #41. He later took on #4.
