A: "Hey, mom, we should go to Great Wolf Lodge. See, it says where siblings become friends."

QOTD by A...

QOTD by A who wants to go with me EVERYWHERE I go. When I ask her to stay home while I drive her brother to a pasta party, she responds "some day I'm not going to want to go with you, so why wouldn't you want me to go while I still want to?" Kid is too smart for her own good. Also knows how to hit me where it hurts.

Forgotten Remembrance

Back in December we took the kids to La Salette. We let them throw coins into a water fountain. I told them each to make a wish. When I asked Audrey what she wished for she responded, "I wished Papa was my present."

While sitting on the middle school lawn watching Sean at Archery Camp. "You're not old, you're just fat. I still love you, though."

Crazy, Busy and Another QOTD by Audrey

We have been crazy, busy around here this month. Between the onslaught of spring sports~soccer for two, lacrosse for one, baseball for two~, including a husband who coaches, the twins birthday and a First Communion we are out straight around here. I am just trying to keep my head above water getting the kids where they need to go, getting homework/projects done and remembering appointments. I'm really not doing that well at any of it, but it all is getting done to some degree.

There's so much I want to write about about the twins birthday and the First Communion~both of which went really well and was so special for all involved. I just don't feel I have the time to spend. Hopefully one late night soon.

In the midst of all of this, Audrey continues to spew her unbelievable quotes. Today, while watching Little Bill in the family room, she came out to the kitchen where I was working on the computer. Apparently I didn't look happy because she asked me what was wrong. Me, "I'm just working on the bills and I'm frustrated because your brother isn't cooperating with me." Her, "I'm frustrated because I hate Little Bill."

Hopefully more soon on other parts of life!

Audreyism of the Day, yes AGAIN!

Here I go again...I know this has been all I've posted about recently, but this girl is seriously unbelievable!

Today while at the dry cleaners, Audrey spotted a package of pool balls. There were two in a package. They were air freshners to be used in shoes or a drawer, etc. She wanted these so badly and I kept refusing. She asked so much that the owner of the dry cleaner said she could just have them because he had "a million" packages of them. Apparently, these are not a big seller.

I let her take them after she politely thanked him for them.

This afternoon when I got home from CCD Audrey came running out to the car with a huge smile on her face. Right away I noticed the two small bumps in her shirt placed very conspicuously at the top. I knew right away exactly what she was doing because she's done this before, but set myself up by asking her what she was doing and why the balls were in her shirt.

Her response, which I can't believe came out of a three year old (but this girl is way beyond her years), was "they're my boobies." Previously she has used balloons to the same end.

Don't know where she gets it from or where I got HER from. She's too much of a character to send back.

Contradictory Audreyisms of the Day

One day last week I was helping Audrey in the bathroom. When she was done she picked up the toilet paper (as with most things in our house, the toilet paper holder is broken), looked through it and said, "I just found the perfect mommy!"

The other night she and I had a battle over getting her out of my bed. When I started to get angry she said, "I hate you". I told her that I didn't hate her and that she had hurt my feelings. The next morning I was getting ready and she said to me, "I love you". I reminded her about the night before and she responded, "But I love you AND I hate you". Then she went on to tell me that I'm beautiful and old.

I don't know whether to hug her or give her a time out!

Quote of the Day

While looking online for shoes to go with Caroline and Audrey's Easter dresses, Audrey yells out and points to a pair of shoes on the computer~

"I can't believe my eyes! Look at those shoes!"

Not even sure where she heard that phrase from. She doesn't miss a beat and is such a little character.
