What am I missing here?

Does anyone want to tell me what this...
and this...
have in common that attracts trouble? Or perhaps why my four year old continues to force his fingers into things that they don't fit in? I thought he would learn his lesson after we had to cut the ball apart to get his finger out but he decided that it was so much fun that he tried out the vent cover. Eventually he will get it, right? Either that or I am going to need to buy the "jaws of life" to help me get him out of these sticky situations. :0)

Some girls have all the luck...

But Mackenzie isn't one of them. The kids were playing outside when all the sudden everyone was running for the house and Mackenzie was absolutely freaking out. Kaitlyn had to tell me what happened because Mac was sobbing. Apparently a bird flew over the swing set and happened to drop a worm at the same time that Mac leaned over a bit. The angle was so perfect that the worm fell right down her shirt and stuck to her chest. After a bit of jumping and screaming she managed to get it to drop out of the bottom of her shirt but she still had the brown goo stuck to her chest. I did what any good mom would do and broke down laughing so hard I had tears. I couldn't help it. How many people can say that a bird dropped a half eaten worm down their shirt?
Just for the record, I did help her clean up once the tears in my eyes dried enough that I could focus.
