If that's the case... I've got a list for Santa

So we had a bunch of neighbor kids hanging around the yard this afternoon. One of the girls had a hot pink ipod shuffle.

We started chatting about it and she told me how what she really wanted was an ipod touch.

I mentioned that those were rather expensive and she went on to tell me that she was going to get one for free.

Free?

Do share.

Oh, she explains, I'm going to ask Santa for one and if he brings it, it's free.

Free.

Nice.

I've got a list for Santa!

In Love with the Curls

So, baby girl's hair has grown out long enough that it has started curling at the back.

And I absolutely love it. The curls are so precious.

The only other one of my kids to have curls was our second boy. He kept them until he went in for his first haircut. I asked the lady cutting his hair if we could just keep the curls at the nape of his neck. She asked me if I wanted him to have a mullet. I said no and that was the end of them.

But I think these curls are here to stay.

She is growing up so fast and developing her own little personality.

We are throughly enjoying her.

and her curls.

I've decided that I'm not getting paid enough.

What's worse than having a kid throw up all over the entire span of your light colored living room carpet?

Knowing that you just gave that same kid a bag to throw up in 15 minutes before and then finding out that that same kid had apparently drank a copious amount of chocolate milk about an hour before because he thought it might make his stomach feel better.

Chocolate throw up.

We may have to get new carpets.

Happy Monday ya'll!

(any brilliant suggestions how to get partially digested chocolate milk out of the carpet?)
