More Singing

Continuing with her theme of holiday songs, my daughter recently sang, "It's the worst wonderful time of the year." 

Blooming Trees

My nephew recently came for a visit, and our community is abound with Christmas lights.  I asked him if he liked them, and he poetically observed that the trees were in winter bloom. 

Sugar Addict

My oldest son loves sweets.  I can't fault him--I do too. 

Tonight, I really missed out on a nomination for mother of the year--for dinner, we had cereal.  I'd had a long hard day.  I didn't want to cook.  I didn't want fast food.  And I didn't want to brave a restaurant during the Friday night dinner rush.  So we had cereal.  Well, my oldest refused to eat cereal.  He refused everything I offered him.  So I left him to fend for himself.  And his choice was toast, one slice with jelly, and one slice with cinnamon sugar.  About half way into eating, he asked if he could have root beer to drink.  I said no.  Thirty seconds later, I hear him stirring chocolate syrup into a glass of milk.

Holiday Spirit

My daughter has been singing holiday songs for a few weeks.  Her most recent song has a slight modification... "Deck the halls with chocolate syrup, fa la la la la, la la la la."

His Opinion

I said to my middle child last night, "Hey come here... I'd like to get your opinion on something."  And he says, "Did you say pinata???"
