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!

El Nail Salono
My middle daughter is a diva. She's 4, but she's a diva. She's into Princesses, hair, glitter, makeup and nail polish. She doesn't wear makeup, but knows that it's important in looking good. But, her father and I do allow her to wear nail polish. We of course approve the colors first.
She keeps her polishes in a little metal case. Today she brought them out, and proceeded, in her pretend world, to say, "Would you like to have your nails done? I can do nails, toes, and ocho, sinco, nuevo, gracias" and kept saying spanish numbers as if she was talking to someone in spanish!
Adios, Amigos! ;)

Attitude of a 1 year old
My one year old is rather vocal. She is a HUGE mimicker, and repeats everything you say.
So, tonight, my older daughter didn't want to eat dinner, and so E. turned to her and said, "Via, shuh up and eat!" Hmmm, guess she's heard THAT before!
Then, I'm trying to work on a project, and I have the gate up so I don't get any little wanderers in. Well, E. came over and was trying so hard to pull the gate up. I went over and asked her what she wanted, and she said, "Gate up!" I told her no, that I wasn't going to pull it up, and she said something unintelligible, but it had a touch of meanness to it, so I told her that she wasn't allowed to talk to me that way. She put her finger up to her mouth and said, "Shhh! Ok?" "Shhh!" and walked away. Needless to say, she is NOT happy w/ me! And it's the funniest thing!!!!!
