If I ever decide to take the dogs for a walk while I am still in my pajamas, I hope someone stops me and either has me mentally evaluated or just locks me up.

Overheard at the dentist

"The dentist's gloves taste good.  No, really.  They taste like banana and blueberry."

Want a piece of Candy?

My kids LOVE candy.

Wait.

Alex and Bella LOVE candy.  Nick is just okay with it.  We'll leave him out of this one....for now.

Anyway...

When they get candy, they eat it all right away.  They try to save it, but, it doesn't last very long.
They both love to hide the candy in their room so no one steals it from them.  I usually find quite a few candy wrappers in their room.  Very rarely will they share their candy with anyone.  If they were going to share their candy, I would like to think that they would share it with me.

Today, Bella handed me an opened box of Sno-Caps.  She got these on one of her movie outings with her grandmother.  She didn't finish them at the theater, so she brought them home.  I had mentioned (the day she got them) that I loved Sno-Caps when I was her age.  It was my favorite movie candy.  I asked for some and was given one.  Yes, you read that correctly.  One (1) tiny little Sno-Cap.   I know she has a HUGE sweet tooth, so, I figured I would just let her be.

A day or two later, said Sno-Caps were "cap"-sized on her bed.  (in other words, spilled all over her bed) I figured she would eat them when she got back to her room or just throw them out.

Fast forward a few weeks.  Here I am, minding my own business and Bella hands me the box of Sno-Caps and tells me that I can have them.  I politely decline (remember they were all over her bed?).  Bella insists that I take them because I mentioned that I used to like them.  I casually mention the fact that they have been sitting around for about a month.  (she denies the length of time but can not give a definite date as to their purchase) I asked about their little accident all over the bed.  (apparently that didn't happen to these Sno-Caps)  I then say Thank You and that I don't have a taste for Sno-Caps.

She stomps off, saying that I am mean.

Well, I guess I should be happy that she was willing to share.

(a little too willing, if you ask me)

Someone put an empty container of hummus in the refrigerator. I'm not sure if I should be upset about this or just be happy that they all like to eat hummus. 

Perfect hair

I tried for years to achieve the perfect hair.  I knew the cut I wanted and how it would lay.  I had pictures that I would bring with me to the stylist.  My cuts would come close, but never exactly how I wanted my hair.

I looked at Bella today and realized she has my perfect hair cut that I wanted 10 years ago.  She doesn't have to put much effort at all into it and it looks great!

Since I cut off all of my hair, my perfect hair days have gone away.  I hope I don't have to wait much longer for perfect hair.  I think I have waited long enough.

Me:  Make sure you brush your teeth.
Alex:  Why do I have to brush my teeth for registration?
Me:  I don't want to smell dragon breath

*dragon breath = really, really bad, hot, smelly breath

Freshman Registration

I now have two kids in high school.

Scary.

Today I went with Alex to register for high school.  It was a first for me since RT took Nick when he was a freshman.  After freshman year, the kids don't want to be seen with their parent(s) so they go to registration alone or with a friend.

There are so many fun things going on at school:  plays, sports, billions of clubs, dances, etc.  Almost makes me want to go back to school.  (I said "almost.")

School starts in two weeks (yikes!).  Gotta try to enjoy every last minute of summer while we can!
