Mary Poppin's Magic

The other night we watched Mary Poppin's for the first time with the kids. As we were going to bed Marinn asked me, "Mom, can we get some of those star things for our fingers so we can do this (snapping motion) and clean the room?"

I said, "Oh, I wish baby but that is just make believe." 

She asked again insisting that it was possible and we just needed some stars for our fingers.  

Oh how I love her innocence!

We be Jammin'!

A song came on the radio in the car that had a reggae beat and the guy was singing about, "We be jammin', we jammin', we jammin'!"

Marinn starts singing from the back seat "It's pajama time! It's pajama time! We like pajamas! It's pajama time!" 

Panties on the Head

There was some clean laundry laying around and Shaw brought these to me. Put them on his head then handed them to me....So, I helped him out. 

And he was a happy silly boy dancing around the room with the girls panties on his head.  

Hilarious! 

"It's yummy!"

Taurin had a slight nose bleed the other day and Marinn trying to be helpful grabbed a tissue and wiped her nose... Unfortunately it just smeared the blood across her cheek. As I was helping the situation Marinn said, 

"That's kind of gross huh mom?"

I said, "Yeah, but it's okay we can fix it."

Taurin says, "It's kind of yummy!" and licked her lips.  

Yes, kids are disgusting. 

Marinn's Fashion Inspiration

As we were in the mall parking lot today Marinn saw a group of polygamist women getting into a car. They were all wearing blue dresses and camel colored vests.  

Marinn said, "Awww look at those ladies they look so nice.  Mom I want to get an outfit like that. I can get a blue dress like that and a brown jacket thingy, and I can do my hair like that, I'll look so pretty." 

Then she said, "But I'll have to wait until my hair grows long so I can do my hair like that." 

(the dresses and hair were very similar to the ones pictured here)

I was just giggling to myself that she was so inspired by their unique fashion and had really paid attention to all the details.  

Scammed by Advertising via a 2 year old!

I started making the cake for Taurin's Birthday today and Taurin wanted to help. I was a little reluctant because I just wanted to get it done.  Then she saw the above advertisement and said, 

"Mommy that little girl is helping her mommy make a cake. I want to help my mommy make a cake." 

How could I say no to that? 

How could the mom on the cake box be cooler than me? 

Needless to say she got to help me make the cake.

Warning: Say NO to off brand Baby Powder

I was in need of some baby powder, and grabbed a generic brand while in the grocery store. When I got home and opened it I realized the lid opened and closed very easily and thought to myself, "The kids could probably open this."

Well, the powder was misplaced for a few days and recently found.  The kids are in the room and everyone is laughing and giggling... Taurin comes down and says that Marinn has the baby powder. She looked like this:

So, naturally I believed her... and went upstairs to find this.... 

 Notice who is the cleanest? 

There was about a cup of baby powder in Shaw's crib and the room smelt baby fresh.  After vacuuming them off... they got a bath. 

Lesson learned: DO NOT buy the CHEAP POWDER.
