little drummer girl (round 2)

Lunch with a 3 year old..

"Let's talk..." says Mommy, "...what do you wanna talk about?"
"Wow wow wubbzy. He has widgets and he's a girl, not a human," responds Cara.

I don't even know..

Round 2

Is it just me, is it just my children, or do all parents deal with children who prefer remote controls to fun, exciting riding toys?!?

This is round 2 of trying to convince our toddler that remote controls, cell phones, playstation video games, cords/wires, ipods, plant fillers, and toilets/toilet paper are NOT toys.

This picture captures not only my youngest ignoring 4 super fun riding toys to dig in the drawer with the remote controls, but also gives the impression we could afford to skip a few birthdays!

I'm aware there are worse problems in the world, so I continue to count my blessings. Kinda miss changing the channel though...(RIP directv remote).

Snowed In

Well as I'm sure the entire continent knows, Atlanta saw some snow this past week. It was referred to as Snowpocalypse 11. Funny how shut down the town gets when we get snow/ice. Funny the first two days. Then maybe not so funny anymore! Maybe then a little cabin fever, lol.

We made the best of it though! Got snowed it at my Mom and Dad's. Ate a lot. Played a lot of scrabble. Played a lot with my new iPod. Cara watched a lot of Beauty and the Beast. Sammy walked in circles a lot. Thankfully we had a skirt, so Cara didn't have too many princess melt downs. We also ventured out on foot to the grocery store. That was an interesting walk to say the least, but it was definitely a nice change of scenary. Even saw a local celebrity at the store. (Wsbtv weather guy, lol). We had fun though! Lots of quality time spent together.

Looking forward to a weekend with Chris and the girls. Go Falcons!!

True Story

Cara has been in the "question" phase for some time now. She is also very intrigued about the baby in Tina's belly. With that said, this conversation just occured.

"Mommy, is Sammy in your tummy?"
"No, she is in her bed," I replied.
"Was she in your tummy?"
"Yes she was," I answered.
"Was I in your tummy?" she further questionned.
"Yeah..."
Pause.
"Was Daddy in your tummy?!" She inquires with excitement.
"No," I answer through a laugh.
Pause again.
"Mommy?"
"Yeah."
"There were a lot of people in your tummy."

I am considering how weird this concept must be for a three year old, but I'm more concerned she thinks I birthed the entire population!
