Mr. Curious and Mr. Helper

Shawn and I sat amused while listening to Ethan ask question after question. Finally Shawn told him, "Ethan, I don't want you to ask any more questions right now." To which Ethan replied, "Why not?"

A friend was over in the office with Shawn one evening and I had made cookies for the occasion. Landon was an excited deliverer of the cookies. He hurriedly put on his shoes and grabbed the cookie plate and headed out. Once over at the office, Shawn greeted a finger-lickin' Landon. Shawn figured he ate one on the way over. Upon looking at the cookies, Shawn discovered not only chocolate chips in the cookies but rocks were also there! Thirty seconds later there was a knock on the door. Landon quickly exclaimed: "Hewere's ano-ver cookie phor yuuu. It was in the rocks!"

This is sooo funny! Such a guy thing to do - dust off the cookies and bring them on! The pictures really cracked me up too! Those "outfits" - love them! Skivvies showing and all. =)
