Kiddy Wisdom

A: "What should we have for breakfast? ...I know! Let's have eggs for breakfast!"
Mom: "We don't have any eggs. We have to go shopping for eggs today."
A: "But with a hungry tummy we can't!"

This is also the kid who "be carefuls" and makes sure everyone else is "be carefulling." And she kills germs on her hands with "hanitizer". Meanwhile, the younger sibling wears "clip-clops" (flip-flops) on her feet, "glubs" on her hands, and a "soup-soup" (swimsuit) in the swimming pool.

Rambunctious

Dad to A: "Do you want to play Uno?"
A, jumps in the air: "Yeah!!! That will help me quiet up and not do bad things."

Breakfast This Morning

A, while frantically tapping on Mom's back: "Mom, Mom!"
Mom: "Yes?"
A: "Will you get me a napkin?" As she shows Mom her greasy hands.
Mom: "I think you just wiped them on my shirt."
A, sincerely: "Just one finger I just wiped."

Pesto!

I made pesto like an Italian grandmother again this year. This time I took a few pictures. I'm sure my Italian grandmother made cuadruple batches and stashed it away in Gerber jars. This took me all afternoon, by the way. Nevermind that I should be packing for our trip tomorrow. I hate packing. Then I get home and have to unpack. Or at least I should. Generally, I just leave everything in the duffle bag until the next trip. Then half of what I need is already folded and ready to go. See how efficient I am? And in the mean time I wonder what happened to all my good shirts. It's kind of like laundry. I wash it by the basketful. Then I put it back in the basket. Well, technically it's a different basket... a CLEAN basket. Then I carry it back upstairs, tuck it out of the way, and promptly run out to buy new underwear because the clean ones in my drawer are all gone. At some point my ever kind and longsuffering husband runs out of t-shirts and gets tired of tripping over the clean laundry on his way to the bathroom at night. And then he spends his entire precious evening folding clothes, which have now multiplied to fill 8 baskets because 3 weeks of my nutty laundry habit have passed. Please send help. Insanity has set in.

Misc

My camera forgot how to take pictures. I've been deleting at rates of 100%/batch. All my trip pictures from the Dells last week are junk. Even the "safe" ones that I took with a flash. How does one take a blurry picture with a flash???? Somehow I managed it. Here's the kids at the park. Again.
