Poop, The Library, and Trees That Don't Grow

We ventured out to the library this morning. We're supposed to be getting a storm later tonight that will deliver 4 inches of fluffy snow. As of right now, it's just raining. We're really curious to see what actually happens. But back to the library...

Jack has filled his pants the last couple of times we've visited the library, and it's cut our visits short. Mom had hoped no one had caught on the fact that libraries bring out the "stink" in Jack, but today when we checked out, the librarian commented "he's done it again, I see." Quite embarrassed, Mom herded us out to the car as quickly as possible. "Why does it have to happen at the library," Mom whispered to Jack as she buckled him in.
Really!

Back home we decided to do a project. A friend had given us a grow-your-own-tree kit that goes with the movie we previewed this past Wednesday. We opened the box and read the directions. Here's a picture of our planted tree seeds.

You'll notice I'm not in the picture. That's because I had a meltdown and got sent to my room. Apparently trees sprout and grow slowly in real life--to the tune of 1-2 weeks, to be exact. In the movie that tree seed sprout popped right up out of the ground the minute the water from the watering can hit the soil! Mom tried to explain the difference between real life and the "magic of digital animation", but I was feeling upset, hurt, disappointed, etc. and couldn't be bothered with listening to Mom's explanation.

Let's just say, it was quite a morning...
