Annelie, holding out the ginormous bouquet of allergiesshe gathered just for me, despite knowing my house rule:
All Nature Stays Outside
I admit this bouquet is kinda cute though...
even if it did leave me sneezing and scratching at my eyeballs for ages.
Okay, so I know that being a mom is super rewarding and all that... but honestly, I don't get paid enough sometimes. Here are our snippets from this morning, inspired by Wendiwinn and her Sunday Snippets hilarity. Only mine aren't so much hilarious as they are unbelievable.
Setting: Me in living room listening to 4-year old Gracie and 3-year old Annelie playing in bedroom
Gracie [to Annelie]: Open your mouth and you're dead.
Me: WHAT?? Where did you hear that?
Gracie: We're playing Snow White.
Me [muttering to self]: I do not remember that part of the Disney movie. Holy {enter colorful word}, I'm raising a psychopath.
--------
Setting - Kitchen, just after lunch. I'm staring at the floor, eyes bugged out of my head.
Annelie [smiling sweetly]: Can I have a donut?
Me: No, of course you don't get a donut.
Annelie: Aw! You're really mean!
Me: I'm not mean. I told you to eat your lunch and instead you smashed it into the floor with your tap shoes.
Annelie [pouting]: I don't love you anymore.
Me [muttering to self]: Fantastic. And she's not even a teenager yet.
Life is fun.Hope you're having an enjoyable weekend!
xoxo,

awww, I'd smush my lunch into the floor with my tap shoes too, if I couldn't have a donut, haha.
You will look back & laugh at this Marisa! At least it makes all of us (readers) laugh! They're still stinkin' adorable!
Haha, Tia, she *should* have had a donut. All I said was, "Eat your lunch and its yours." But she didn't eat her lunch, she smashed it instead. Hence, no donut.
Marie - I can only hope. I ended up kicking them outside and they're still out there, getting all their energy out. :)
Man. It makes you want to relive yesterday when you discovered your kitten is a hermaphrodite.
Also, I'm pretty sure if we were neighbors and we could throw your daughter and my daughter into the same room and lock the door and they would either:
a) kill each other with stuffed animals and Polly Pockets
or
b) be the bestest friends ever.
hahhaahahahahaha!
also. i say that a lot. open your mouth and you're dead. only. i say it to the fish. it doesn't believe me anymore.
Kearsie, oh no, because hermaphrodite kitty was giving me quite an ordeal as I tried to keep him from impregnating his sister. yeah, you just read that correctly.
But also, our girls would probably do c.) both of the above.
Winn - That fish knows nothing. I'd believe you.
That wasn't the DISNEY Snow White. It was the PG-13 version with Angelina Jolie as Snow White and Demi Moore as the Evil Stepmother.
lol gotta love 'em
i got a "mum's a little bugger" muttered from under Daniel's breath after sending him to bed for about the millionth time!
Oh--we have a rule that flowers stay outside too. Early spring flowers give me migraines. It makes the Easter service at church which my son sings at a BIG challenge.
Disney is a mixed bag.
And my son has already picked out a new mom for those occasions when he doesn't love me anymore. My next door neighbor. *sigh* At least I know he'll be loved.
Your girls are so cute. I think it's a girl's job to make her mom want to tear her hair out! I know I did it to my mom all the time :D She loves me just the same for giving her life a little excitement! LOL
At least it was a donut. Yesterday I found Amelia wandering around the backyard in her rain boots smooshing piles of doggie doo flat. When I asked her if she did it, she said "No Sissy (the dog) stepped on it". About a minute later she admitted that she did it. Fun times. ICK.
Oh and I had a vase full of "bamya bamya flowers" (that's what Amelia calls them) the other day. I don't know what kind of weed they are, but she found every single one growing out in the backyard.
aw, the joys of motherhood.. :-)
Bummer, all that shadowing, waiting for a donut, whilst you were on the phone, didn't pay off. So sad. :oP
While Ryah and I waited to pick up Peri from school, she kept looking at other kids and accused them of being wet. I said, "Ryah, they're not wet, are you wet?" "No, I'm not wet, I'm cute."
Hahaha Holly. She says she's cute about 40 times a day, doesn't she? I love that kid
Love the snippets. I think all kids start as psychopaths and from there it is up to God and Sesame Street to straighten them out.
ha ha ha! ohhh dear...you are too funny. I love the innocent phase when they don't have an opinion! ;) she is so cute!
I love the ginourmous bouquet of allergies. Such a perfect way to put it. She is a cutie and I love her smart mouth, probably because I don't have to live with it!
