Last night's Penny Thought is brought to you by: please mop that up.
Penny sits in Xander's bed at bedtime and says: This is my bed.
Mike: Penny, you took a nap in Xander's bed today, but Xander likes to sleep there, so you have to give it back to Xander.
Penny: But, Daddy, I dripped drool in it.
Mommy: (freaks out on the passenger's side of the car) Mike! It's a red light! Aren't you going to stop???
Mike: (makes a hard stop behind the line) My foot was on the pedal and I was about to brake when you freaked out.
Mommy: It's a good thing I freaked out when I did then because that was a hard stop as it was.
Penny: You're slipping, Daddy.
I *love* my 3 year old!
Penny: Daddy is wearing his night-gown pants.
Translation: Daddy is wearing his sweatpants.
This weekend was our anniversary weekend, so I took Thursday and Friday off work to be home with the family. We've been married 15 years.
While I was home, we went to the mall with the kids on Thursday and ran errands Friday (mostly oil changes and car stuff). Saturday we had someone watch the kids and we went and saw Iron Man 3. Then we had a nice seafood dinner.
Here are some pics from the weekend.
Penny: Mommy, there's a spider web!!!
Mommy: It's pretty neat, huh?
Penny: No, I just break them.
Mommy: Don't do that. Spider webs catch flies, then spiders eat flies, and flies don't land in our food.
Penny: AND tarantulas catch AND they have poison!
Mommy asks Daddy: What has she been watching???
Daddy: Some documentary about poisonous tarantulas in the Amazon...
Mommy: Evy, are you done with the laundry? Evy: Yes! Wait, are you going to post pictures of this on Facebook? Please don't, I'll be so embarrassed! Mommy: Why? You seem so proud of the work you did... Evy: I'm embarrassed that you're posting a picture of me with only one earring in! Mommy: You're not embarrassed about the pictures of the laundry you "did" (didn't) do? You should be, child.
Mommy: (throws away seemingly insignificant necklace of thread with clear, flat bead).
Seren: Mommy! That's one of my favorite necklaces; don't throw it away!
Mommy: Don't worry, I'm keeping all of your very special necklaces, but I'm getting rid of the ones that really aren't that special.
Seren: (pleads) Mommy, that IS a special necklace...it helps me to see the lines on my own skin! (Like a magnifying glass)
Mommy: Ok, we'll get it from the garbage can...
How could I argue with that???
