"Dab" and visitors

Last week when I got to do Art Masterpiece with Grant's class at school we worked with watercolor paints. As I passed out a folded paper towel to each kid and told them it was to dab their wet paint brush on, they were all laughing and saying, "dab?! dab, dab, dab."  I thought, "Is there a joke I'm missing here?"  So I asked Grant yesterday why all the kids were laughing at the word "dab."  And he  said, "'cause it's dabbing Mom!  Like the dance!"  Really?!  I had to look it up.  Sure enough "dabbing" is a dance and I had no idea.  But it suddenly explains why the kids were laughing in his class and why he's been going around doing the "dab."  Like in the picture below.  It's supposed to look like your sneezing into your elbow.  Ha!  Now I know.  And now you know.  I have yet to try it.  I might just stick to my mad running man skills.  Or the Roger Rabbit.  I was pretty good at that one.  I think we might have to use paints again at our next Art Masterpiece just so I can use the word again!  Ha!

We've been having a couple visitors at night lately.

Just recently Camille has started coming into our room in the middle of the night.  She crawls right up in the middle of the bed and gets all comfy between us.  If we are alert enough to notice, we take her back to her room and then she comes back a little while later.  Sometimes when we're super sleepy we wake up and wonder how long she's been there.

This little guy woke up unusually early this morning, but so did Keith.  So Keith went to get him and a bottle, but Ty just wanted to be social so Keith layed him next to me in bed where he quickly fell asleep.  I could have stayed their next to him like that all day, with his cute little warm feet pushed into my side!  Much better than Camille's really loud snoring and kicking!  But duty called and I had to get up to get Grant ready for school.  

In other news, we filled out our ballots this morning and Keith is dropping them off for us.  Oh boy!  This election day is going to be an interesting one!
