I am folding laundry while the kids are snacking, and I overhear Vin tell his friend, “When you turn 16, you have to move out.”

Only 5 more years!!!

B is doing her homework. She looks at me and says, “I need a snack, I am freakishly hungry.”

Get this girl a Grammy.

The other night we were all out to dinner–the family & a few Aunts & an old family friend. And B was entertaadults the adults. I wish I would have saved the picture she drew to scan. It was basically a circle with 4 lines sticking out from the bottom.

Then, she was having the adults guess what animal she drew. And, ya know, with the lack of detail, it was quite the challenge. So, she started to give clues.

 

—It starts with a K…

—It has four legs…

The guesses were flying, “Koala? Kangaroo? Kitty?”

We got one more clue, “It is white with black spots.”

 

Obviously…it was a kow 🙂

Nana is in town which means that there is lots of game time. Bean has been her typical drama queen self… So, she usually plays a round or two, then has a meltdown.

 

Anyhow, during one round of UNO, things were going her way and she was in good spirits. She gets a chance to play one of her “mean” cards (I think it was a draw two). And, of course, she wants to do a little taunting… And her line was, “You guys are not going to be proud of me!”

 

That kid cracks me up.

Who’s the Boss?

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but in more than one of the Disney princess movies, the princess is thought to be dead & then brought back by true love’s kiss. So, in a lot of the playtime at our house, someone is dead.

Anyhow, the other morning we were all hanging out and playing and I was dead. Bean ran to Daddy and told him that I needed true love’s kiss because I was dead.

Daniel turns to Brian and asks, “If Mommy is dead, does that make you the boss now?”
