So, how is your day? I'm currently listening to Ella and Brett argue back and forth about poison apples. Yeah, you heard me...poison apples. Let me set the stage for you...we are having family over tonight for game night. Something we are trying to start doing once a month. Ella and Brett are very excited because this means their cousins will be coming over to play and I think somewhere deep inside they know they are going to get to stay up late.
Like any good mom, I've held this over their heads in order to get things done around the house-like clean their rooms. So, I finally have gotten the house in somewhat presentable order (I promised myself I wasn't going to stress over how clean the house is or how cluttered my craft room is. We've only been here 2 months, so I'm giving myself a break. Wouldn't you?!?! Don't judge me) and after banging the back of my head on the eaves door while trying to get games out (yes, I am my father's child) I thought I would sit down and check my email. Since we've moved, I get to do that about once a day if I'm lucky.
I walk into my craft room, well really it's more like tip-toe over everything and hold your breath in hopes that you don't fall before you make it to the desk. I sit down and before I can open up yahoo I hear:
B: You're not the boss of me!
E: Do I need to spank you? ( ummmm....since when is she threatening to spank her brother?!)
B: You can't spank me. You're not the boss of me.
E: I guess you aren't going to be able to play with T (cousin)
B: YES I CAN!
L: AHHHHHH
E: I'll just spank you. Let's go get something to drink (isn't it funny how quickly they can move on to something else?)
B: (still hanging on to what's going on) I'm going to make you a poison drink
E: You don't know what poison is!
B: I'll give you a poison apple (this is where I stop and thank the wonderful people at Disney for putting this idea in little kids heads)
E: You don't know what a poison apple is
B: DO TO!
E: uh-uh
B: I DO TO!
L: AHHHHH
E: (bored with the arguing and feeling that she has already won) Let's go get a drink
as they are walking down the stairs to get a drink....
E: Do you believe in God?
I just am mesmerized everyday what goes through their little heads.
