Zachs buddies mom was picking up her son from our house after the Super Bowl. Chelsea said something to her and she didn't understand after I told her what Chels said she said "oh! I thought you said something about Thelma and Loise!" After saying how great Thelma and Louise was she asked Zach if he had ever seen it. He said "we dont really follow sports. sorry."

Chelsea asked me to make her a hat out of foil. I asked "who is trying to read your mind? Aliens or the government?"
She said "aliens. I dont believe in the government!"

Chelsea was trying to talk me into making disappearing marshmallow crescents for dessert i wasnt going for it because it meant another trip to the store for marshmallows. She said "it'll be awesome! What do ya say BFF?"

Chelsea wanted to do her homework before I had a chance to help her. She was supposed to write yes or no if the picture had a N. Instead she wrote out each word. My favorites are "praso" for pretzel and "pokn" for popcorn. I seriously dont want to turn this homework in.
Chelsea isn't feeling well today. I just put her in bed and she got really upset, basically because she is sick. I went and laid down with her and talked to her a bit until she calmed down. Then I sang to her, hush little baby and you are my sunshine, the two song I sing most to my kids. When I was done she had big tears in her eyes. I asked what was wrong and she said
"Those songs are so sweet!"
Then buried her head in my chest and snuggled in really close.
I could live though any parenting frustration for that moment. ♥♥♥

Me: Zach I'm soooo tired! I think you should walk to school so I can go back to sleep.
Z: what?! No! I can't walk to school! Would you walk to school? ?
Me: yeah I used to walk to school all of the time. I wasn't spoiled like you, no one drove me.
Z: Mom! Of course you walked to school! Cars weren't even invented yet when you were a kid! I guess you could have ridden a horse. But then you would goof off and be late.
