My bad...

M: Elise, eat your sandwich.
E: But, I'm full.
M: Why did you ask me for a sandwich if you're not even hungry?
E: You must not have been listening to my words. I said I wanted a sandwich to LOOK at.

Your boss called

E: Mommy who is your boss?
M: Cathy is my boss.
E: Well Cathy called while you were changing your work clothes.
M: Oh yeah? What did she say?
E: She said "Give Elise honey and apple juice for her dinner."

Fortune Cookie

Daddy was opening a fortune cookie. Elise yells "What does it say?" and snatched the forture from him.
She concentrated then said "Love your heart. Jummy jam heart."
Daddy "WHAT!?!"
Elise "I can't read. That's the best I can do."

The Shred

The 30 Day Shred is the evil genius of Jillian Michaels. It works, but she will kill you.

Elise just made up a lovely song. She's playing on the piano and singing:

"I don't like that lady.
That lady who exercises with mom.
She always shows her belly...
And her bras."

Rough morning

Elise is always crabby in the morning. As someone who has dealt with morning crabby all my life, I do actually understand how she feels. Someday she too will discover the magical power of coffee. Until then we're going to have some rough mornings. On the way to daycare this morning:

E(insert attitude here): Mom, why do you always listen to Sinatra?
M: Sinatra? I like Sinatra. Don't you?
E: Everyone likes Sinatra, but not everyone has to listen to it all the time.
M: I haven't listened to Sinatra in a long time. Are you having a rough morning?
E: Who is this singing right now?
M: This is Morrissey, not Sinatra.
E: Geez. I wish I was in Dad's car.

What am I going to do when she's 15?

So sneaky...

I just heard Elise yelling from upstairs:

"I'm sneaking an Oreo very carefully so you won't here me!"

She's got some lessons to learn about sneaking cookies.

Father's Day

M: Father's day is coming up this Sunday. You still have plenty of time, but you can start thinking of something special you want to make or give to daddy.

E: I know! I think I will get him a #1 with a Coke! That's special and he would love that!


Sadly, that's true.
