Sharp Dressed Man

This morning after Tyler put on pants and a tie dye t-shirt:
Tyler: Mommy, am I sharp dressed man?
Me: Yes you are. Do you like the ZZ Top song Sharp Dressed Man?
Tyler: Yes, because it has a man in it.

Peace and Quiet

cartoons + snack = happy kids

And a happy Mama who got to make dinner in peace!

Flowers for Mommy

After school yesterday Tyler told me that he had picked flowers for me. He then produced two tiny purple flowers from his pocket. It was really sweet! Then Tyler told me that they are not allowed to bring flowers or any other part of nature in from the playground and that's why him and one of his buddies put the flowers in their pockets so they wouldn't get caught.

Story Time

The kids and I went to story time at the library this morning. Tyler and I were sitting cross-legged side-by-side and before Tyler knew what was happening Daphne plopped down and sat in his lap. She had the biggest grin on her face. Tyler didn't look so thrilled. So then Tyler leaned back and laid on the ground and Daphne giggled as she leaned back and laid on Tyler. Awwww!

Slippers

The kids were pretty stoked to pick out new slippers yesterday. Tyler tried to convince Daphne to get shark slippers too but she opted for bunnies. Later in the day Daphne paraded around in Tyler's shark slippers. Maybe she knew what she was doing all along!

Ice

Like me, Daphne loves to chomp on ice. Of course since most ice is a choking hazard at it's normal size we have to crush it really small. I think Daphne particularly likes the ice because her 2-year molars are growing in and the ice probably feels really good on her gums.

Mischievous Monkey

Daphne likes to get into mischief, such as squeezing into tight spots. She does things Tyler never dreamed of at this age. After watching my dad and I mark measurements on the dining room wall for a chair rail, Daphne somehow managed to get a hold of our pencil and scribble on the wall and window trim. Thankfully it is a room I had planned on painting anyway.
