Holy frijoles! It's Friday again? I think my weeks keep getting shorter and shorter. While I don't know if I can top last week's edition of Das Not Funny! Friday I can tell you some of the things our children did this week that I found pretty hysterical.
(On a side note: I had to go back to the optometrist on Wednesday to pick up the glasses I ordered. This is the 3rd time I've been back since the incident yet only the 1st time since then that I've ventured back to the bathroom again. Um..yeah, it looks A LOT different than it did the last time. AND they've either added a second paper towel holder since Lucas and I were there or I totally missed it the last time - which is possible. And, it would have been nice to see the "extra" paper towel holder the last time since it had actual paper towels and not the generic bathroom kind that disintegrate when you get water on them.)
Alrighty, on with the funnies...
On Wednesday as I was putting together The Mothership I had a special little "helper" named Olivia. My helper enjoyed playing in the dog bowl and a tiny little stream of water that was running across the sidewalk, despite my efforts to keep her out of the dog bowl and dry. As I was intently focused on one step of the assembly instructions I hear from behind me...
"Sllllluuuuuurrrrrrpppppp"
I turn around and see Olivia, with her face pressed onto the concrete. Yes, she was "drinking" from this:
That's when I decided that maybe she was thirsty and we got her a sippy cup.-------
Elizabeth LOVES to accessorize her hair. It's not uncommon for her to have in multiple hair clips or pony tail holders (which we call hair-ties) and a headband or large flower clip. From her bedroom one afternoon this week I heard,
"Mooooooooom! Can you come help me get this out of my hair?"
"Sure peanut, give me a couple minutes, okay?" I responded.
A few seconds later she walked into the kitchen holding a hair tie with a massive clump of hair attached to it.
"Here Mom," she said nonchalantly, "I just janked the hair tie outta my hair without you."
Nice. And the bald spot goes perfectly with her eyes.

Wednesday night we had cupcakes for dessert, after dinner. I'm working on cleaning up the kitchen, while Luke conquers baths. Lucas and Elizabeth are standing in the kitchen having some discussion that I am either too old or too stupid to follow. Something about dinosaurs and princes, I'm not sure. At any rate, Elizabeth is finished with her cupcake yet still has a face covered in white icing. She also has a large blob of icing just beside her mouth on her chin.
I see Lucas stretch out his pudgy index finger, swipe the icing off her chin and cheerfully stick the dollop of icing into his mouth.
He smiles, clearly pleased with his additional sugar intake.
Suddenly, Elizabeth realizes what he's done and screams, "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SAVING THAT!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! MOOOOOOM! I WAS SAVING THAT FOR LATER!!"
Tears and wailing and excessive screams followed except I didn't hear much else she was saying because I was too busy trying to catch my breath.
Y'all have a great weekend!
