stinkbug

(Censored moment of the week) So this morning we were painting our wall (khaki--I know we are oh-so-boring) and Ben saw the biggest stink bug ever scamper across the floor. Well...mommy was up on a ladder with a can of paint (not a good plan) when the stink bug decided he would run right underneath the ladder, followed quickly by Ben trying to keep the bug from "cwimbing up on you mama"....as I am sure you have now figured out....down came the ladder, down came the khaki colored mommy, and down came what was left of the paint. The stink bug and Ben miraculously survived. During my trip down to our hard tile floors (WHY OH WHY DID I WANT TILE EVERYWHERE?!?) out slipped what I would consider a profanity to my children's ears. I didn't even catch that I had said "it" until Uncle Sean came home and Benjamin told him "Uncle Sean...we had the hugest DAAAMMM stinkbug you have ever ever seen knock mama over!" My jaw dropped open and Uncle Sean just smiled knowingly...way to go mama!
