I love this brilliant photo by Don Solo, who took it as part of a 52 week series. Other shots in the collection feature little Lego Indiana Jones outdoors, at an amusement park, and interacting with a confused Princess Leia. Who knows what little Indy will do next week? I can hardly wait to find out! You can follow the Indy 52 series by Don Solo on flickr, and you can even download the high-res files to use as desktop wallpaper.

I don't know how I missed out on seeing this video earlier, but it is hilarious! Especially for busy moms -- but funny for dads and kids, too -- Anita Renfroe sings a fast mashup of the most popular mom sayings, to the tune of the William Tell Overture. Listen carefully, because it goes by so quickly! Anita has made another funny video in conjunction with a promotion for Luvs diapers. As part of this new "say no to pricey diapers" campaign, Luvs is also offering a limited-time $5 off coupon, starting today.

My middle child is very thoughtful. He is six years old, and he's always asking questions and pondering things. He asks questions like, "Mom, why do we have cheeks?" How do you answer something like that? I said, "To protect our teeth and the bones inside our faces." My husband said, "So the food doesn't fall out when we chew." Hubby likes to be funny. :-) A couple of nights ago, this boy was taking a bath. He noticed the label on the shampoo bottle, which said "3-in-1," and asked what "3-in-1" means. I told him it's because that product does three things to help us get cleaned up. It's a body wash, shampoo, and hair conditioner, all in one bottle. He thought for a minute and came up with this: "Hey, what if it was 13-in-1! Then we could get super-clean, and it would keep out the tangles forever! We would smell good and stay clean for 13 days!" I love that boy, and I love the way he thinks.
