This was the conversation this morning on the way to preschool:
O.: Do you know the pork chops that they give you when we go to that steakhouse?
Me: Yes
O.: Well, the next time we go, I'm going to put all of my rice on the pork chops and suck it all up in one giant bite!
Me: Um, ok...?!
She's talking about chop sticks from the Japanese steakhouses where they cook right in front of you. Apparently when she goes there, she has a hard time eating w/ the chopsticks and is mad that she has to resort to using a fork.
In other news, E. has now learned to snort when she laughs, and does so at every opportunity! She sounds like a laughing pig half the time!
And J. made the cutest book in school about his family! The pictures that go w/ the story are so perfect!
Enjoy this sunshine that we have today!!! We may not see it for a while again!

The toilet. How clean is the water?
While I was working, my lovely 1 1/2 year old decided to have a party in the bathroom. She has been known to throw all kinds of things in the potty, including a small Vera Bradley mirror yesterday, just because. Well, today, she got the Clorox Wand and swirled water all over the floor, all over the toilet paper, and toilet paper holder, all over the magazines on the side, and all over the potty.
Then she grabbed a drinking cup and was trying to drink the water. That's when I caught her. I cleaned and disinfected as best I could, and gave her a bath and bedtime for her! Ah, peace and quiet and I know that she's not getting into trouble!
I swear, the other two NEVER did anything like this! And I'm SO getting a potty lock tonight!!!!! Her potty days are OVER til it's time to SIT on the potty! God help us when that time comes!

Dinner was a Riot!
Tonight at dinner, we conversed about a myriad of topics from Presidents (J. has a Presidents placemant),to what was for dinner to what went on at gym class.
First up, George Washington. The kids couldn't figure out why they could see George Washington on tv, but not in real life. We reminded them that we saw his burial place near his home. O. said to J., "Don't you remember when were in George Washington World w/ Aunt T.?" Like Mount Vernon is like Disney World!
Secondly, K. was asking who wanted bacon bits on their salads and J. said, "Absolutely NOT!" and covered his bowl. O. said, "Come on, they decorate the salad!"
Enjoy your evening!

Age and Thinness
Today J. and I are hanging out together. E. is sleeping and O. is with Daddy shopping. Perfect rainy afternoon to hang out and get something accomplished! Still working on that!
Anyway, J. gave me a chocolate bunny that he got from Easter to open up. He asked me if I would like to have some. He's always good about sharing! I told him no thank you. He kept asking, so finally I said, "No thank you! I don't want to get fat!" And he said, "Well, I think you're pretty skinny, Mom." And then he amended his statement and said, "I think, for your age, that you're pretty skinny."! So, I'm guessing I was either fatter or skinnier when I was younger! LOL!
