Chalk Art, Dog Tricks and Boys

Recurring conversations with Miss K:
Miss K: What doin Mom-Mom?
Me: Reading a book.
Miss K: Why?
Me: Oh, because I like to read books.
Miss K: Okay. Go ahead.
. . .
Miss K: What doin Mom-Mom?
Me: Carrying these clothes to the laundry room.
Miss K: Why?
Me: ‘Cause they’re dirty. I’m gonna wash them.
Miss K: Okay. Go ahead.
. . .
And on and on throughout the day, whatever activity I’m doing.


Chalk art by Miss M on our patio (gecko with fly on tongue): Close up of the fly:
This masterpiece was created with 3D chalk--you should have seen it through the glasses! So neat! Such talent!

Miss A to Miss K: When you are grown up your heart will be this big (spreads arms wide) and you can do anything! You can drive a van and even cook your own dinner! AND. . . you can have your own cell phone!

Chloe had a birthday: And the girls are training her to be a circus dog (scroll down and pause (II) the backround music first):

Me to the girls: What would you girls think about having a baby brother?
Miss M: No, thanks.
Me: Why?
Miss M: Because I know about boys. I have a bunch of them in my class. They B-word and T-word (that's burp and toot to those not in our family) and they don't say excuse me. And they don't flush.
Me: Well, any boy in our family would have manners like Daddy.
Miss A: And K needs someone to boss. So I say okay to a baby brother.
