Are you my mother?

A:...You are a bird, and you are my mother. The end! Are you MY mother?

KJ: Yes!

A: No! I'm your mother, goofy girl!

KJ: You so silly, mommy!

Krispy Kreme

We stopped at Krispy Kreme because we were actually in Bentonville and Daddy and Mommy needed coffee. The girls seemed to enjoy the unforeseen benefits of this.

Karen ordered a puffed doughnut with orange frosting, white bug eyes, and a thin black line as a smiley face.

KJ: My doughnut has silly eyes. But not a silly mouth.

L: What about ears?

KJ: No, it doesn't have ears.

L: Doughnuts don't have ears! That's silly!

KJ: Yeah. Food no have eyes. Only people.

L: Yeah, that'd be silly if food had eyes.

KJ: These eyes are yummy.

L: I love my doughnut!

KJ: Me too!

Too Much Mary Poppins, said Hen.

Laura is taking sips of her apple juice, one spoonful at a time, and following each one up with, "Mmm Rumpunch!"

Patriotic Plaid

The kids tried out their new red, white, and blue plaid today. And their silly faces.

And David found himself a square meal of half a green pepper, a single potato chip, and a whole chicken. Wish getting all the kids to eat healthy were this easy all the time.

A silly conversation

For the last week, there has been a fair at the rodeo grounds, which we pass every day. Each day, Laura has asked to go on the merry go round. Each day, I've told her if she can go a whole day without disobeying, we would go. Each day, she made it until about noon. We never went, and the fair has moved on.

Tonight, on our way home, Laura was humming along with the classical music station, when she suddenly began singing a song. She sang, "Passing by the fair! Oh, passing by the fair!" louder and louder as we approached the rodeo grounds. Keith sounded a little bit sad when he told her, "I know, honey, but the fair is gone now..." Laura got a really confused look on her face and asked, "What fair?!" Keith and I both laughed really hard, but Keith managed to choke out a "Never mind."
