This past week

I finally got into the girls room to clean out their drawers, AND to get their clothes into their new dressers. That's a LOT of work. It took hours to clean up their room.

While I was cleaning and washing clothes, I noticed Lindsey in the kitchen cutting carrots with a butter knife. She asked me to help her and I told her I would in just a moment. But, then she told me never mind, she had it figured out.

Within a couple of minutes, she told me that she was cutting the carrots to make ME the snack for all of my hard work. She mixed the carrots with yogurt in a bowl, and got a bottle of Vitamin Water out for me. It was SO DARN sweet, I couldn't refuse. So, as I'm sitting there eating my snack and telling her how thoughtful she was, then she proceeds to tell me why she didn't need any more help with the carrots. She said she figured out it was easier to use her teeth than a knife and that's how she had cut them all.

You gotta love that!! Did I still eat them?!! Absolutely.

Today we were running around and doing errands in town, and we decided to play the opposite game. So, instead of saying "I'm hungry", you'd say "I am so full, I can't even think of eating" or "I can't stand this sunny January weather we're having" (it has been record breaking temps lately, in the high 60's and one day we even hit 70 recently). While in one of the stores, I bumped in Lindsey accidentally, and I said to her, "I'm not sorry" and then she said, "I don't forgive you". It was super funny. I needed Lindsey to pick something up for me, so I told her "Don't you dare touch that" and of course she picked it up. I guess a lady has casually been observing us, and she said, "It's really hard to shop with your kids, isn't it?". I then realized that we needed a new rule that the opposite game didn't apply when we were talking to other people. :)
