"Say goodnight to your brother...

and tell him you'll see him next year."

"Why? Is he going to an orphanage?"

I just have to shake my head in wonderment. WHERE, pray tell, did this child come from?

What do you want for dinner?

That was the question that was posed to TK last night. What do you want for dinner? It was kind of a leftover, clean out the fridge night from Christmas and this last lazy week of being home from work and school.

He rode his scooter from the den to the kitchen to tell me "casserole". Todd and I looked at each other like WHAT? This kid is the picky eater of the century and most casseroles are not for the faint of heart or picky of stomach... So I asked again to make sure and he said again "casserole". So Todd opens the fridge and takes out 3 bowls and says "Okay, this casserole or this casserole or this casserole?" TK says "Not any of those. Those are not casseroles." Todd says "Yes, a casserole is a mixture of foods in one pan and baked." (haha) and TK says "No, a casserole is when you take something and it's rolled up like an armadillo and the ends are curled and it's in the oven - that's a casserole".

"Oh...you mean Crescent Rolls?"

"Yes, that's what I want."

My 4.75 year old teenager

My 4.75 year old teenager said this to me this evening...

"Well if you don't like anything at McDonald's why do you just go home and cook yourself something."

Excellent suggestion. Thank you.

TC got a new ride

Check out TC's new stroller. He's VERY happy riding in this buggy. It's a reversible, floating seat. It's so nice to be able to have him face us without him having to be in an infant carrier to do it. Thanks M&D.
