Gavin's riddles

Gavin likes to tell stories now. Last week was a riddle.

What goes "he haw he haw"? Has a tail that goes swish swish? and has 4 legs?.... a donkey!!! and he laughs and laughs.

He watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and might have been traumatized by Augustus Gloop. For about 4 days Gavin said.... and that little boy fell in the water and he got stuck in the pipe! What happened to him Mommy? Well, he came out the other side (I assume). Why did he fall in the water Mommy? Because he didn't follow directions and he was being a bad boy. And he got stuck in the pipe? Yep, he got stuck in the pipe. We had that conversation about 20 times in 4 days. He would tell strangers we meet... and that little boy, got stuck in the pipe. He would also add...and that little girl turned into a BLUEBERRY! and he would laugh at that.

We were mellow this weekend allowing the news of twins sink in.. Steve surfed the Jetty in Cayucos twice (Fri and Sun) and got barrelled. A surfer's dream. We hit the local pool and Gavin was a little fish. We chilled, watched Eagle Eye and I got a bunch of errands done, except laundry, oh well. I made a killer Fatty Fattessa recipe (aka Barefoot Contessa). It was 5 cheese penne pasta...super easy and yummy...might not be the least fattening but you gotta feed the twins! It is something I can make ahead and freeze when the twins come. I am starting to walk slower and waddle as the belly seemed to have grown about 4 inches in 3 days. Saying "twins" or "babies" or "the boys" is trippy but kinda fun at the same time.
