leaps and bounds

interview with brooke:

me: "how old are you"
b: "5. i'm 5 years old."


me: "do you have a boyfriend"
b: "aiden. he loves me. he loves me because i'm his girlfriend."

me: "what does aiden love about you?"
b: "he likes me to play with him outside. yesterday we played hide and seek in the middle circle. if our house catches on fire, i hope my dog doesn't get hurt."
me: "the fireman will help the dog."


me: "what's your favorite thing about mommy?"
b: "let me think. i like my dog and my mom because they are super underwear"
{i have no idea what that means, but she's laughing hysterically, so it must be a great inside joke}

me: "what's your favorite food mommy fixes"
b: "pizza. i mean not pizza. um, watermelon. mom, can i just text something for you?"


me: "why do you love puppies so much?"
b: "because they are cute and cuddly and the look like a furry ball. and some of them look like a fun hot dog. mom, can i type my name now?"

me: "yes. type your name."
b:"brooke" {she realy did type that}

b: "I want to answer "what does mommy like to eat?" and the answer is pancakes with syrup, a fork and a knife. you flip the pancakes so it won't get burned up. you eat with your mouth, to your tonsils and into your small intestines and then you poop it out. it doesn't go thru your **. you poop it out. hey mom, can i text something again for you?"
well, here ends another "interview with my children"...insightful, maybe not. but darn right interesting.

Hmmm, does mommy text much? Or is just really into that Leapster? My kids loved the leapster so much....until I introduced them to the Nintendo DS. Bad mommy, bad!

She sounds pretty adorable! :)
Oh, I love this! What a great idea. She is too cute!

Oh the insights of a five year old. The things we learn from them.

I wish everything to do with underwear was still funny to me.

I'd love to do this with my three-year old and I'm pretty sure I could ask her questions in a way that would make me look like a rock star. She can be very agreeable when she gets some one-on-one time with her mommy.

I love your blog layout it's so cute!

Yep those answers sound about right for a 5 year old. It's always fun reeling them back in after they have gotten off subject. Too cute!

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
