LOL

random bits of conversation in our kitchen tonight (1hr)

Me:  Whatcha got planned for tomorrow? 
Damian:  Thought I should look for a black and white striped shirt.
Me:  Hmmm...  Sounds like Daddy thinks you two girls might spend a lot of time fighting on your day off tomorrow...

Darcy:  I'm going to get the Mickety Mouse straw and you can have the orange one.
Ryland: Okay, I'm going to get the Mickety Mouse straw and you can have the orange one.
Darcy: Nooooo!  I'm going to get the Mickety Mouse straw and you can have the orange one.
Ryland:  Exactly!  I'm going to get the Mickety Mouse straw and you can have the orange one.
Darcy:  Nooooo!
Ryland: I'm just repeating what you're saying. 
Me: Ry (with the look)
Ryland: I'm just mimicking her.

Darcy: I like how the cheese moves after I grate it on
Damian: Yah, it's melting.
Darcy: No, I think it's straightening out.

****

Darcy:  Oh foop! Foop! Foop! Foop!  (Said with the same emphasis as some other four letter words)
Damian:  Darcy that's enough.
Darcy:  It's Poof  backwards.  Foop, foop, foop!
Me: Darcy (with the look)

Damian:  What are rickety uncles classified as?
Me: A cookie
Damian: Nope, Ry and I have discussed this.  They're not a cookie.
Ryland: yah, because there's no flour.
Me: Cookies don't need flour!
Ryland: Yes they do.
Me: No, there are lots of cookies out there that don't have flour.
Ryland:  Then they can't be cookies.  Cookies have dough and dough needs flour.  We decided these were 'candy treats'.
Me:  Well then why did you ask me in the first place?!??!

Oh Brother you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind,
Oh Brother!  Oh Brother!

Darcy:  Is it true that plumbers have to wear their pants down like this?
Daddy:  Yes, it's part of their contract.
Darcy:  (Big grin)
Me:  You want to be a plumber now don't you?
Darcy: YES!
Ryland:  Daddy's kidding you know, it's not part of the actual contract.

easier said than done

again!!!

I can't believe that the school buses were cancelled again!!  Well, I can... We have had more freezing rain this winter than I can remember in recent years.

I was just hoping that February would be different...

Since going back after Christmas break on January 9th, the girls haven't had a full week of school yet.

Today, Caelan has a full day planned at CHEO and OCTC...
Which means those lucky girls get to spend a day at Gramma and Grampa's!
