Funny things kids say.

It doesn't matter how many time I correct my children , they are always right and I am always wrong. I realize that a 4 year old will not always say things correctly. Here are a few things that Haylie has insisted she is saying correctly.

Ig-sgusting. ....Anyone know what this means? this is what Haylie says when I try to get her to eat her vegtables. Especially green ones.

Growing-Ups.......Yup this is what she calls any adult. They are not " Grown Ups" they are " Growing-Ups". She is probably correct in the fact that we are all still growing up.

Those are just a few I could remember today.

Then there is the unbelievable logic of a 7 year old who knows how to twist the truth to get anyone to do what she wants them to. Tonight in the car on the way to get pizza, we were trying to decide what toppings to get. I could hear Sydney in the back of the van telling Haylie that she should tell me to get anchovies on the pizza. Here is how she convinced Haylie to ask for anchovies.

Sydney-" Haylie, do you want anchovies on your pizza?"

Haylie-" what are anchovies?"

Sydney-" they are little fish"

Haylie-" No! I don't like fish. They stink!"

Sydney-" You know why they stink right?"

Haylie-" No , why?"

Sydney-" They stink because they don't want people to eat them, but really they are the most deliciously tasting thing you could have on your pizza. It would taste like icecream to you!"

Haylie-" Mom can I have anchovies on my pizza?"

Here is the kicker. Sydney has never had anchovies. I told her that I would buy her a can of anchovies that she could eat. I bet you just about anything, she will never ask for anchovies again!

Valentine Woes

I dread this time of year. Not because I do not have someone to celebrate the holiday with or love. I dread this time of year because I never know what to do for my special someone.

It is easy for my husband to pick Valentines day to clean the house for me or cook me dinner or babysit the kids so I can have a moments peace. But I can not do those things for him because.........I do them every day!

I am also not the type of person who likes the simple and ordinary Valentine ideas ( cards, chocolates, teddy bears,etc.) I like to do things like planning a romantic dinner ontop of a hill somewhere, with music playing and sparkling sider. Or even a fun night doing something out of the ordinary like going to a play.

Here is the problem. I can come up with fun ideas all night that I might like, but My husband would not. So I am asking if any of you friends out there have any good ideas of what to do for husbands on Valentines Day.

p.s. Fell free to have your fun husbands give ideas to mine for Valentines. Much Thanks!
