When we walked down to the lobby the concierge said “Can I help you ladies?”
I said: “Yes. This might sound strange, but I am looking for the Wienermobile.”
All three of us stifled back some laughter and he said “Actually, I know exactly what you are talking about and it was parked out front earlier.”
I was excited. When I woke up that morning I saw this from my hotel room window.
THE WIENERMOBILE!
I know. It is kind of stupid, but did you know that they don’t just let anybody ride in The Wienermobile? I know this because the commoners who were walking by (and by commoners I mean people who weren’t at my conference) weren’t allowed on. But the wiener lady let Laurie and I get into the giant hot dog!
We’re laughing like that because the wiener lady would not stop saying things like “Does one of you want to sit shot bun?” and “We’re all wieners” and “It is bunderful.”
Really. She did. And she did it deadpan.
And she didn’t stop as we drove around Houston.
To be frank with you it was fairly surreal.
The wiener lady gave me these stickers. That said “I tweeted from the Wienermobile”.
So I did.
And it was good.
When we got back to the hotel we ran into Tanis and took some more pictures because 1) It was a blogging conference and that is what we do and 2) IT WAS THE FUCKING WIENERMOBILE!

I don’t think I told you about it here but I’ve been doing Hooked on Phonics with The Goon Squad.
Since they started Kindergarten I have been sort of neglectful. Their teacher have been doing a great job and they have both been making huge leaps in reading and writing.
Since the weather gods have clearly decided that my children are to be home schooled this month I decided to pull out the HOP box and see how much progress the twins have make in Kindergarten.
It turns out that they are reading really well. They have got the three letter words down pat and they are getting better with sight words (you know, she, what, is, the, etc.) and they are even doing well with the stories.
Then the little book threw us a curve ball.
Or should I say passed us a curve ball?
The sentence was “Tim can pass.”
Ian got the “Tim” and he got the “can’” and then he got stuck.
I said “Sound it out.”
“Paws? Paz? Pahs?”
Against my better judgment I did what I knew would help him.
“What sound does A-S-S make?”
*blank stare*
“What word have I been telling you that you weren’t allowed to spell anymore all week?”
“ASS! PASS!”
He read the word, followed by hysterical laughter and saying the word ass over and over and over until I threatened him with a nap.
And there you have it. The mother of the year award, bring it to me.
Oh yeah, that is his thumb.

I’ve mentioned before that my Tae Kwon Do class is pretty much comprised of me and a bunch of 4 – 7 year olds, right?
I guess I am getting used to this.
I was driving some of my friends from class home yesterday when we had the following conversation.
TODD: I can run faster than anyone in this world.
IAN: I can run faster than a cheetah.
CLAUDIA: I am the fastest land mammal.
PAIGE: I can run up and down the stairs faster than any of you.
CLAUDIA: I can run one million miles an hour.
PAIGE: I can run up and down the stairs sixty miles an hour.
TODD: Oh yeah? I can run from here to North Carolina in 50 miles an hour.
ME: Oh yeah? I can read.
Burn those guys.

This came home from school in Ian’s backpack this week.
I’ve been laughing about it for three days.
Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
He swears it says Jack.
