I am most assuredly unsure about how I am ever going to answer the inevitable questions about where babies come from, how, etc. However, up to this point I have dodged the bullet pretty well. Ryland's latest question, "Mom, if a man eats too much will he have a baby too?" In that case Ryland must have been concieved by one too many bowls of ice cream....maybe that is why he is just sooooo sweet! Love 'em!
No sooner had I brought home this little taste of Spring, than Old Man Winter reminded me he's still king!
My favorite tree in every season!
Addison:
The other morning Addison and I were having a discussion about what she was going to wear that day. I had laid out this really cute ballerina shirt (CrewCuts no less!), a jean skirt, and off white tights...perfectly adorable by anyone's standard. Well, I came upstairs and she was wearing the her shirt from the day before (stains and all) and some jeans with holes in them...now I am not against jeans with holes (I mean the only "designer" pair of jeans I own are one's with holes...very expensive holes at that... and Addison's holes are always genuine, well-earned holes), but seriously?! For the next 15 minutes we had a battle of the wills. During which I argued, "Addison, we asked you in the store if you liked this shirt and if you wanted us to get it for you and you said, yes." To which she quietly said, "Mom, this was a Christmas present. I didn't know what you were going to get me." Oh yeah, she was totally right.
Addison: 1 Mom: 0
But then again...who is keeping score!
FYI - She may have won the battle but I did win the war with the shirt...however, she got to wear her holy jeans!
That is a very cute shirt! Addison is so funny! I remember wearing some of the dumbest stuff thinking I looked cool, I wish my mom had stepped in more, she will thank youlater.
