What kind of girl are you?

Naomi: Let's be Fashion Girls today. Fashion girls don't wear socks.

Fiona: But I wanna wear socks so I'll be a Cool girl cuz they wear socks.

He's just not.....

Overheard as we were riding in the car yesterday:

Fiona: Boys are stupid.

Naomi: That's mean. That would mean dad is stupid because he's a boy. He's not stupid...he's just not fabulous.

Feeding Ducks on the Lake

The other morning the girls were out early and in their PJ's feeding the resident ducks that have returned to our little lake. Notice how brown the water is right now. And the grass is brown. It still looks like winter. But in the front yard I've noticed the crabgrass is starting to green up the lawn...a sure sign spring is around the corner.

Funny Things Kids Do and Say

Yesterday Fiona and Naomi get into some sort of a sister-fight, and Fiona slaps her sister (who has had the stomach flu in the last 12 hrs) right in the stomach. Naomi cries, and comes to me to tell me what's happened.

Me to Fiona: "We do not hit people, Fiona. Why did you slap your sister in the stomach?"
Fiona: "Because I have powers."
Me: "Well that's not nice. A time out for you, Missy. Stand in this corner till I tell you you can leave."

Fiona stands in the corner for 3 min, then refuses to apologize to Naomi. So back she goes until she's ready to apologize. Five min. later she says she's ready to apologize, so I let her out, and she does indeed sweetly apologize to her sister. Hugs, love, its all good.

When Rick comes in from cleaning/painting the garage I tell him what's occurred, thinking he'll find it amusing.

Rick to Fiona: "So you slapped Naomi in the stomach? Why did you do that? Did you tell Mom you have powers?"
Fiona with a straight face: "Uh huh. I did. I have super powers. JUST LIKE A DUMB MAN."

Well, what more was there to say for Rick? He couldn't believe it. Neither could I. We don't know where that came from, but it sure was funny.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! She is SO HILARIOUS! We're still howling over that one.

Greaser Sock Hop

Last Friday I dropped in at the Bailey Station Kindergarten Sock Hop, which closed out Greaser Day. Got to see lots of the kids and teachers who dressed up. I wasn't sure what kind of 1950's dancing kindergartners born in the last 6 years could do, so was curious about that. But I did see kids having fun, smiling, enjoying the music and burning off lots of energy. Saw Naomi in the midst of the Hula Hoop contest, and she was great! Her class was very proud of her for representing Mrs. Thomas' Tigers so well. She's a champ! Enjoy several of the30 second videos I caught with my camera, which I've posted.
