1/4--Caroline and I were playing with Play-Doh, one of her favorite pastimes. When I made a snake, she said, "I'm proud of you, Mommy!" So sweet.
1/5--Now that the kids are back in school, I asked Brandon what his friends got for Christmas.
B: I don't know.
Me: You didn't ask them?
B: No! That's a GIRL thing, Mom.
I had no idea. I'm already uncool, I guess.
Note to self: Don't ask nine-year-old boys
what they got for Christmas.
1/10--We were asking the kids about ideas for Spring Break. When we asked Caroline where she wanted to go, she said, "Home Depot." Interesting idea.
She IS a fan of that store and even wore her
orange apron to run errands one day.
In this pic, she was saying,
"Look how big my shadow is!"
1/12--This, my friends, is what I would look like if the kids chose my hairstyle and accessories:
Not gaining any points on the coolness scale.
1/16--We drove by a church that had a sign outside that said,, "Real people. Real relationships. Real belonging." Brandon said, "Good thing they have real people at that church. I thought they were all cyborgs and jelly-filled mannequins." That boy cracks me up.
1/17--Brandon came walking downstairs today and said, "Genius is 98% awesomeness, 1% smartness, and 1% ponajeeism. Copyright 2011, Brandon." Ponajee(sp?) is a word B came home with a few weeks ago. He tells us it means to dominate in sports or video games. Now I feel really uncool.
1/20--We were watching a movie that had a lot of farm animals in it. Caroline told me, "When I grow up, I want to be a horse."
Practicing her gallop?
1/26--When C woke up this morning, like most every morning, I asked her, "How did you sleep?" I didn't expect her reply: "Fancy."
1/27--Some of the thoughts going through Whitney's head today, "When I think of Santa, I think of Martin Luther King. Is Santa an old man? Is he in a nursing home?"
