Today's Penny Thought is brought to you by: Does this make my butt look big?

I received the best weight loss compliment ever today from my little Penny. I finally had to go shopping for new and smaller clothes today and took her with me into the dressing room. As I was trying on a pair of pants,  and loud enough for all to hear of course, Penny says: "Wow, mom! Your butt crack looks WAY smaller!"

This is the kind of Serenism that happens at 3am

It's doable

This afternoon's Serenism is brought to you by: It's doable!

We were out driving around when Evy said: Aww...Xander fell asleep on me!

Me: Welp, I guess that means when we get home, you'll have to sit there until he wakes up.

Evy: Mom!

Me: Don't worry, I'll bring you out some water.

Seren : And I'll bring you a bucket for later.

Awakenings

Last night's Serenism is brought to you by: Awakenings.

Last night after the kids' bedtime, I heard giggling in the bathroom. I opened the door to find Penny standing at the sink playing with the water and Seren standing in the bathtub behind the shower curtain, holding a pillowcase.

After they were busted, Seren said: I wasn't playing in the bathroom, Mommy, just Penny.

Me: That explains why I found you giggling behind a shower curtain, holding a pillowcase.

Seren: Well, I was trying to put it away!

Me: In the shower?

Seren scowls at me then puts the pillowcase in the linen closet.

The logical order of things

Last night's Zany Xander moment is brought to you by : The logical order of things...

Xander to Mommy: Seren is being mean!
Mommy: What is Seren doing?
Xander (in toddler speak): Serenity push me on the bed, try to make me fall off! She try to hurt me, make me die, then I will go to the doctor!
Mommy: All in that order?
Xander: Yup!

This morning's Serenism is brought to you by: Don't open the closet; you'll kill yourself

This morning's Serenism is brought to you by: Don't open the closet; you'll kill yourself!

A few weeks back, it was Seren's job to clean the bathroom floor. We discovered *this* just now. She insists she put this laundry in the hamper and Penny was responsible for the laundry under the sink.

Me: You mean to tell me that Penny dug out all of the laundry you put in the hamper and shoved it under the sink???

Seren: (insert crickets chirping here)

I'm posting this to air Seren's dirty laundry and expose the 'skeletons ' in her closet.

Healthy choices

Tonight's Serenism is brought to you by: The #1 lesson in marketing.

Seren was showing me the school lunch menu for May she had in her binder and all of the circles she drew to indicate her choice for that day.

She explained: Notice how on all of the days we're given a choice of a brown rice bowl. However, when you choose it, it doesn't come in a bowl and the rice isn't even brown! They just put that there because they want you to feel like you're choosing something healthy to eat.

Not to brag,  but I think she's an 8 year old genius if she's already got that ploy figured!
