annie had birthday money to spend that came inside birthday cards.
i let her chose what she wanted with very little coaching from me.
she chose 2 barbies, 2 books, a webkinz and a baby alive (small version).
it was a LOT but it was her money and no different than receiving that many gifts in packages.
20 minutes later in the grocery section of walmart annie said
"well mom…i think i'm gonna put baby alive back. i think when she pees her diaper i would kind of like fwreak out or some'fing…so i don't want to get it."
***************************************************************************************************************
annie grabbed a package of weight watchers bronnies and shouts
"MOM…YOU NEED TO GET THIS TO CELEB'WATE YO' anniversa-wee!!
*************************************************************************************************************
i told annie and her friend to "sit on their bottoms in their carseats"
annie replied "we don't have bottoms. he has a Weenus and i have a Bun."
oh my.
*************************************************************************************************************
i was giving a lecture in the car on the way to school (that's not the funny part)
i said to the 4 non-teenagers "you can save yourself a lot of grief if you realize now that i know what you are going to do before you do it. especially when you try to be sneaky…i am really good at the sneaky stuff!"
annie didn't miss a beat and shouts out "AND you're really good at telling jokes!"
*************************************************************************************************************
talby asks "how much does a car cost mom?" (thinking for when she gets a car)
i answered "ummm….$10,000."
annie shouts "OH YEAH! when i g'woe up i am going to be famous! and i'm gonna get that ten fousand dollaws and i am gonna have a fashion limo cause it's ten fousand. AND i will give a dollaw to everybody who listens to me sing too. "
*************************************************************************************************************
sean came home from his friends and said "we had so much fun and we watched a really funny movie "Christmas with the SKANKS!"
i laughed so hard.
************************************************************************************************************
at dinner sean said "ALL white people like coffee….except if they are allergic."
************************************************************************************************************
annie told me while driving in the car
"Mommy…im SO ing-cited for christmas!
i'm going to make a christmas card for JESUS.
but i am not going to put any money in it…cause i don't have any money…or wait!
my bank account?! i CAN send him money!
ALL MY MONEY!!!"

Lauren - Love that you have this blog to capture these moments… I was laughing hysterically… In the car the other day, my 3 y.o. daughter pointed to and yelled at the auto repair shop we were passing, “You are on the NAUGHTY NAUGHTY list cause you don’t have Cwistmas decowations and Santa won’t bwing you pwesents…” (the salon next to it was decorated).
And is it weird to tell you that I have a blog crush on you and now on Ashley as well!???!

Kind of reminds me of when my now 8 year old was 3 and it was 107 degrees out that day. The air conditioner was having a hard time keeping up in the van. I got him out of the back seat and he said Mommy my butts are sticking together.
Have a great ICY and SNOWY Tuesday!
