around the world in a radio flyer

thanks to spring :: the days are getting longer and are still cool, so daddy still has time after work to take the boys around the block* in the wagon.

thanks to the sunset :: the boys can watch the sun disappear behind the san tan mountains to get ready for bed**

thanks to friendly neighbors :: for saying hello and allowing the boys to trespass onto their yards and to pet their doggies .

thanks to the east valley tribune :: for the free, not-really-newspapers*** cluttering our neighborhood and killing the earth's trees so the boys have something to collect on their journey for the recycling.

thanks to gravity :: the boys ended up covered with road rash after the wagon tipped over during daddy's high-speed return home.

thanks to guilt :: joe had a hard time sleeping that night and left the wagon at home on their next trip around the world and opted for a stroller [with straps] and jonah on his trike.

*jonah refers to this as "around the world"
**which usually entails the sun brushing his teeth, going potty, and getting his pj's on
***the tribune's desperate attempt at getting us to subscribe to the real paper

the thanks i get - coconut records
