Our big four year old!

With a big cheesy birthday smile!

It's dinosaur week!

I was hoping this would get her back to wanting to watch Dinosaur Train, but no dice.  Long live Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!  Which are the shoes she's wearing in the picture - with the dress she HAD to wear.  Ah well...

Words of wisdom from the monkey

Just some funny tidbits of conversations over the past couple months:

----------

Monkey: Can we go the other way to school today?

Me:  I already turned this way, we can go the other way tomorrow, okay?

Monkey: Yeah...I can be flexible.

----------

Chris: Hey, can you put a little bit of alcohol on this cut on my back before putting a band-aid on it?  I think I got myself pretty good.

Me: Holy moly that's a big cut.  Here (I dab the alcohol swab on back)

Chris: WHOA!  That stings!!!

Monkey: Dada, you made my heart jump when you said that!

----------

Me/Chris: Can you clean up your toys that you left all over the floor?

Monkey: Uhhh...That is...happening...to-night.

----------

Background noise as I'm putting laundry away or something: laughter, yelling, giggling, laughter, giggling, yelling.

I walk into the TV room to find Monkey and Dad wrestling and throwing pillows at each other.

Monkey: Mama. What?

Me: What what?

Monkey: What do you think about what Dada is doing to me?

----------

Chris: How was school today?  What did you do that was fun?

Monkey:  We had the fun bus today and they had a swing today and you could fit TWO PEOPLE ON IT AT ONE TIME!

Chris: Wow, that sounds like fun.

Monkey:  Yeah, we got a lot of tiny hinies (sp?) in our class.

Yes, this is how I go food shopping on Saturdays...

...why, what do you wear?
