Everything but the kitchen sink

Sooner or later thru-out the day everything I own ends up in the kitchen sink or the toilet. Lately it's my couch cushions in the sink, maybe a few stuffed animals thrown on top. Sometimes it's my freshly washed and dried laundrey that ends up in the toilet brimming over the seat cover, a few bottles of perfume and the tube of toothpaste along with all our toothbrushes of course, maybe an earring or two, a few tv remotes, and some cheerios to top it all off. Once it was my cell phone. These activites are very pleasing to my boys.

My favorite quote

I heard this in the office today and its officially my new favorite quote:

"He's seems normal, he usually has pants on"

This was in reference to Mason Mike who I'm seeing at the Muskegon Fruenthal Aug 22. A guy in my office had mason work done by this guy who eventually gave him a poster to advertise at our very conservative office of 12 for his upcoming show. I have to find a picture of this poster, it's great. So the guy in my office got free tickets from him and passed these golden admissions on to me.

The show is Mason Mikes mystical rock and roll dream. He has a mullet, wears speedos, and roller blades while expressing himself thru rock and roll music. I may start a fan club.

Teeth Obsessed

At what point when raising children is it not necessary to remind them to brush their teeth? Zoe and Miles are 11 and 8 now and won't brush their teeth. I have to phone home from work at about noon each day to remind them, and sometimes even then they don't do it. When I get home at 5:30 my first question is "Did you brush your teeth!?" Sometimes they don't brush until almost 6:00 at night!! Raising kids with sparkling white teeth will make me feel like I did a superb parenting job; I don't care about anything else except that they know Jesus and have good teeth:)
I can't even understand how they can go thru the day with funk on their teeth. If I don't brush my teeth it feels like my teeth are wearing sweaters, y'know "sweater teeth". Do I offer incentives for this daily task? How do I transfer the responsibility to them without they're teeth rotting?

Next week they go to camp and I won't be able to do anything. I'll have to stick reminder notes in their clean underwear, but Gosh what if they don't change that daily either?!
