Heard Around Our House

These laughs needed a little explanation...a little too much for the sidebar...

* I don't want to scare off any guests, but I must tell you, I caught Eli licking silverware as he put it away for me the other day.

Me: "What?!?...Why?!? are you doing that?!?"

Eli: "It's raining outside. These are warm."

Ummm...okay???

I confess, I did not re-wash any of it. GASP! It's okay. No company was coming, and we go through so many dishes and pieces of silverware everyday, all germs are long gone!

* Last week, the kids and I went to LC for lunch. Lily and Eli were treated especially well by one of the owners...they were even allowed to make their own pizza and eat it in the office. :)

Lily: "When can we just be regular?"

Me: "Huh?" (Speaking in grunts as opposed to full, human sentences to your children just keeps them normal.)

Lily: "When can we just go to a pizza place, order at the front counter, and go home to eat it?"

Me: Laughing hysterically at her seriousness and desire at the ripe old age of 5 to be "regular."

* Eli: "I'm getting my fish oil, Mom!"

Me (with back turned to him "cooking" frozen tortellini): "I thought you already ate your vitamin." [L and E eat an Omega-3 DHA supplement everyday - they get a kick out of eating something from a fish...and every animal they eat come to think of it.]

Eli: "Not that - Goldfish!"

Me: "Oh! I wish those were that good for you!"

* Lily got her first skinned knee of the summer a few days ago. Nana, Eli, Kaylee and I got to witness the Duh-Rah-Muh. She may as well have been told I was going to amputate just above the knee. I can't remember how the conversation went, I just know I said something about a First Aid kit, and Lily said, "A first date kit???"
