My crazy kids

My girls have been making me laugh on a fairly regular basis.

Madison has this certain aversion to pooping on the potty.  You can tell she is trying and she walks all bent over and funny but she adamantly refuses to go on the potty.  (sometimes she does willingly when we remind her only babies poop in their diaper)

So the other day at the dinner table Madison was obviously trying to do her "business" and I leaned over to see if she had pooped yet. 

Madison looked me straight in the eye, stood up straight and said passionately....
 
                                                   "LEAVE MY POOP ALONE"

What else can you do but laugh!!!

Then we are brought to sweet Katelyn.  We were making brownies and since the girls were helping it's always a fairly messy endevour.  So Katelyn was really into licking the spoons and wanting to taste as much batter as possible.  She was given a little but in her desperate state she asked to lick the big spoon, the side of the bowl, the batter spilled on the side of the muffin cup.  And as I said no to them all, in desperation she asked me...

                                                "CAN I LICK YOUR FINGERS"

In case you were wondering I did say no.

Then Emma, my daughter.

We were at Target yesterday and perusing the little kids clothing section for cute stuff for our new nephew "Tayten".  The girls over and over were picking up outfits and saying in a high falsetto voice "isn't this sooooo cute".  They were having a blast.  Then as we were waiting to go to the "shoe" section Emma says from the heart...

"I LOVE THIS STORE.....THERE ARE SO MANY CUTE KIDS CLOTHES AND STUFF....
                                I CAN HARDLY STAND IT....I LOVE SHOPPING!!!!"

Aaagh my daughter.

At which point Jon sighed deeply and shook his head painfully.

Good to know Nancy and mom that we have another one to add to our twice a year U.S. shopping trip!!!
