Kids Dialog

Can I just say Love my children from the pure laughter they bring. Now ya all know I am just slightly sassy and forward. My two beautiful daughters are stepping it up a notch and I can't be more proud UNLESS of course it is directed at me. hahaha

Cute Kaitlin things this week.
I went out for a drink with my friend on Monday. Before leaving Kaitlin runs down the stairs with a note taped in half and a reeses peanut butter cup and smarties taped to the top. "Now mom promise me you won't open this until you get there." me, "I promise." her "really really promise." me "ok ok ok."
So I get to the wine bar, open the note and it reads

Look inside...
Dear mom, Have fun. Hope you get a good kind of wine. see you in the morning. Hearts, tons of xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Love Kaitlin

The fact that she remembered I said I was going to Soif, assumed it was a wine bar and said see you in the morning knowing I would be out late was just too cute.


Now this morning..
"MOM this is really important tomorrow is library book day and I can't find Katie and the kittens."
me, "ok well was the last time you had it."
her, "in my bunk bed."
me, "well have you looked there."
her, "mom I have a really busy day! School and then a play date. You, well you are home all day and have more free time can't you just do it for me."

Guess where the book was? Yup the bunk bed

Now I think this conversation would have had me in a hissy fit a few years ago before I have fully submitted to being a stay at home mom and YES I am loving it. Who wouldn't. But I just love that she thinks I sit around all day.


Now Emma
Simple and sweet, my candy lover says at Marini's the candy capital shop of Santa Cruz.
"Ok mom what are my options." (very serious, looks me straight in the eyes, arms folded)
I state she can pick two candies
She says, "hmmm my options are x, y and z. Ok mom here are my choices candy corn and those little white things (mini jaw breakers). Oh and I want this lolly pop."
me. "Emma you can pick two things not three."
Emma, "DANG ITTTTT!!!! how about I choose these options, candy corn, little white things and and just 1 TIIINNNYY salt water taffy." (pinches her fingers super tiny and give me puppy eyes.)
me, "ok"
her, "YESSSSSS!"

Ok so I totally caved, but this sweet 4 year old using her best manners and the word OPTIONS was to precious.

Another Emma,
Mommy when I grow up I can be anything I want to be! I am going to me an animal rescuer, builder, and a doctor all at the same time!

And one more Emma
Chris and I were driving by a cop standing in front of a house looking inside. Gun in his holster.
Emma says, "what is he doing just standing there with a gun!."
Chris says, "police officers are always suppose to carry their guns everyday to protect us."
Emma, NO daddy police officers aren't killing us everyday with their guns, they are suppose to protect us from the bad guys."

Ok...so essentially when she heard carrying she thought we said killing. My memory doesn't serve me with the exact dialog. But I could only imagine what was going on in her little brain!
