Tractor and poo

Isn't this picture awesome?

The people I babysit for have the most amazing backyard. And this is considered the 'city'.

Missouri rocks.

I was just standing by their back window one day, looking through pictures on my camera when I looked up and saw this sight.

Click!

I'm not even kidding you.

Another funny babysitting story (as if the first story was funny).

They have this 80 year old dog that is blind and deaf and farts all day.

I really can't stand this dog.

Yesterday we walked into the living room and I thought the 8 year old pooped his pants.

"Marcus what the heck? You're too old for this."

He kept denying it so I went on a turd hunt. I looked everywhere...except in my shoes by the front door. I was almost scared to look. I told myself if that dog pooped in my shoes, it was going to die that very day.

But, I'm sorry to say that Max is still alive because he pooped about 6 inches away from my shoes. Every dog has it's day and Max, yours was yesterday.

It was the grossest thing I'd ever smelt (and trust me I'm a nursing student I've smelt some nasty poo) so I told the kids "sorry not my dog" and hid in the kitchen while they cleaned it up.

I could hear them dry heaving from the kitchen and I giggled a little bit. I tried taking a picture but they got mad at me.

And then I felt like a bad babysitter.....for about 30 seconds.

All this talk about tractors and poop reminds me of the first phone conversation Ryan and I ever had.

R- "I went four wheeling today."

W- "Oh yeah? How was it?"

R- "It was so sick. I went flying into these big piles of poo and it got all over me. And you know what the first thing I thought of was?......you."

I knew right then that he was the one.
