It seems with the cold weather and getting lazy my “green-ness” is going brown. I think a picture is worth more than the words for this.
So… back to working on getting green!
Only when it’s leaking… December 28, 2008
I have been trying to post on here when the kids say something hilarious. Those are the things that I just don’t want to foget… ever! Well of course there have been tons of things that I wanted to post, and haven’t… *crying now* But this is one story from Ava that just can’t be forgotten!
One day a couple of weeks ago, she came up to me and explained why and when you need to pick your nose. ”When your nose is the leaking kind you can blow it, but when it’s not the leaking kind then you have to pick it.” I thought I was going to die laughing! I tried to explaid to her that you shouldn’t pick your nose, but she was very adamant about her theory. So instead of arguing with her I told her if your nose isn’t leaky and you need to pick it you have to do it in the bathroom, with a tissue, door closed and wash your hands when you’re done. ??? What is a person supposed to say to this stuff?!
The thing every child in Wisconsin must learn the hard way… December 22, 2008
Well, it happened in The Christmas Story and people make jokes about it. It ranks right up there with window licking in the gross/weird things kids do factor…. Yup I’m talking about sticking your tongue to cold metal. Today as we were leaving Wally World, I was putting Cooper in his carseat and left Ava to her own devices for just a couple seconds. Sure enough, curiosity got to her and she stuck her tongue to the cart return! 7 degrees BELOW zero, and before I even knew she did it, she pulled it off by herself! She didn’t cry and she got in the van and said,
“Mom, it didn’t stay there, it came off.”
I asked, “What came off, What are you talking about?”
“My tongue, it didn’t stay there.”
Me: “Did you stick your tongue on something cold?”
Ava: “No, only a little, it was an accident.”
Me: “Oh no, Ava did you stick your tongue where the carts go? Let me see your tongue…”
Ava: Instantly crying, “Yeah I did right there… See….” and sticks out her tongue.
