Lovely people, dontcha think? 
Three is going through a phase now where he reads all tags to see where everything that we have (hold, play with, wear, look at, eat, etc.) is made. For the most part (like 90%-- I knew it was high, but 90%??!!?, wow!) our stuff is made in China. Three has discovered though that our remote was made in Mexico and some of his underwear in Turkey. Who knew? Anyhoo, Three was telling dh about how so many things are made in China, "Like everything!", when Four pipes up and says, "Yeah, China is a machine! But what I want to know is..... where is Ermish? 'Cause you know, those Ermish people-- They don't use electricity."
As we've clearly seen before, even though he still pleads the Fifth.
Okay, so technically I did not take this in April, buuut I loooove this picture. I took it in March, so isn't that close enough?!?!?? It's not one of my monkeys, but his momma knows I'd take him to come live with mine in a heartbeat, along with his brother. This kid cracks me up. He is full of fire and boundless energy. Just look at that gorgeous red hair and those eyes... how could he not be?
We're at a park that has one of those HUGE old metal slides that we all used play on as kids. You remember the one. It scorched the backs of your legs as you went careening down (yes, you careened when you were a kid-- that slide was the longest thing this side of the Mississippi!!). Now why on earth they would be located at any park in Houston, TX and why any half-way decent parent would allow their sweet baby girl to careen down one in the middle of the summer, only to hear her cry in agony is beyond me... but wait a minute... I digress. Where was I??? Oh, yes, so Four had just gone a few rounds on the ancient gigantor metal slide, and as we were walking away to go home, I hear him say,"Boy (little snort), now that's a real slide. You know, just like the ones they have in France."
