That's what you learned?? And Wordful Wednesday!
















B is obsessed with Mulan.  I think, "Finally! She is a strong woman who fights to save her family and country.  A Great female role model.  A Good story, even a little history.  Oh, and it's teaching her strength and character."  (and Mushu is soooo funny...you know you watch the movies with your kiddos too!!)

Yesterday B says, "When I grow up, I want to become a man to find my husband too."

Yea, that wasn't the lesson I was looking for...sad!
















Join in with Angie in posting a Wordful Wednesday pic.  It's fun!  You still get to talk!

Bwahaha! I didn't see that either.

I haven't seen that in a long time. I'll have to introduce it here again.

Came over from Wordful Wednesdays!
Funny - she looks like she means business!!!!
Honey Mommy said…
Yeah.

What mom doesn't want her little girl to become a man so she can find a husband! Hahaha!

Hopefully she will also figure out the "being yourself" part that goes along with the movie.

Saw your Wordful Wednesday. Your story reminds me of my daughter at 4. She loved Dorothy, Alice and Cinderella and wore shoes appropriate to her character. Gotta love those character actresses!

Too funny! I love the accompanying Jedi fighter shot.
Ha ha ha. I love a good Wordful Wednesday that makes me laugh! :)

Hee! I never would have though of that message to search for a husband :)

That is one of the few movies I think that provides a "strong woman" role model...too bad they often miss that part of the movie..hehe

Maybe one day the kids will understand and then it will be that much more sweet.

Have a great day!

LOVE this picture. It looks like she's a girl who knows what she wants and is going after it that is awesome! Too funny!

Oh and BTW - Love Etsy, I'm a total addict too. Thanks for the compliment on the shoes too - I can't wait to wear them all day every day. Ha! Ha!

That was too funny. I love this picture too!

Ahh the things kids pick up!! My kids learned from Shrek that they never want to have a donkey because they talk too much. Yup that is the lesson of that movie :)

Too funny! The picture is worth a thousand words!

I love her face!

Ooooh, I just realized I forgot to post the awards you gave me. So sorry! I was doing a post on the Crispy Kale and realized I never did the post! It will be up tonight along with the Crispy Kale recipe!

Do you tweet?? If not, you'd love it! If you are, I'm oikology101 on Twitter.

Marshmallow fondant is just like the real thing, but it actually tastes good, unlike the real thing, which always gets peeled off the cake and left behind!

When I worked a bakery/cake shop, my boss HATED doing fondant and almost refused to do it, but she didn't want to lose business, so I got a little experience using it there.

I have one that is along those same lines. Today, I had my nephew over and he and my son were playing... Sleeping Beauty. I was so proud that he got to be Sleeping Beauty. Yes, my son wants to be the princess.

It is always so amazing the message I get versus what one of my kiddos think they heard!

So glad to 'see' you over at my place--thanks for the sympathies on my poor gardening talents! I'm enjoying perusing your posts and look forward to reading more about your crew!

Blessings!

So cute & so funny at the same time!

Hysterical!! Isn't it funny how kids see things. They are outside the box and we are so in it. Ahhhh to be a kid again.
Thanks for stopping my by blog and leaving a note. I love that your daughter loves Mulan. I saw it for the first time a month ago. Can you believe it? Her takeaway may be a little off, but fighting for hubbie isn't too bad of a goal. Family loyalty, right?

Oh my goodness....now that is hilarious!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
