Cheaters never win (5/16/11)

I was playing Candy Land with Madison this morning. She loves when she's beating me, but definitely gets upset when I start passing her up. Her little gingerbread man was at the end of the game & it would easily take one card to win. She thought I wasn't paying attention & she moved her man to the finish line, even though the card she drew was still a few spots shy of winning. She proudly declared "I won, I won".

I gave her a look that let her know I knew what she had done & I gave her the ole line "It's not about winning the game, it's how you play the game that matters". She looked at me, with a confused look on her face and said "I still beat you", smiling mischievously.

She'll understand the saying one of these days I guess. For now, I just put her gingerbread man back to where it was supposed to be & watched her a little closer. ;)

I say NO to drugs (5/06/2011)

I was sitting in the walk in clinic to have Noah checked out since it was after hours with his pediatrician. We were sitting with several other people in the waiting area. Noah announces very loudly that he burned himself on my pot. The emphasis was on the word "pot". I nervously look around wondering what people are thinking...then I realized what he was talking about. I whispered " you mean my crock pot?" Louder than before he declares " yeah I burned my finger on your CRACK POT!"

Although now thoroughly mortified, I Had to laugh at that! :)
