Random Stuff from Living with Children

And there is a common theme here - food. How can people who are less than 4 feet and 50 pounds consume such unbelievable amounts of it?


Question: What secret ingredient do you want to battle the Iron Chef with?

Annie: Chicken!
Bethany: Pasta!
Jack: Bakugan!! (creatures from a Japanese anime show)

Annie to Jack: Your face looks like a pizza!!
Jack to Annie: Your face looks like chicken wings!!
Bethany to Jack: Your face looks like broccoli!

Why we will avoid a particular McDonalds for while:

(1) Despite having had lunch two hours before as well as multiple snacks in the car after lunch, Jack was so excited at the thought of a Happy Meal that he ran straight towards the restaurant, ignoring the pants that were slipping down his legs. By the time he got to the front door, they were down around his shoes. Everyone in the parking lot and the restaurant was treated to a view of his Spiderman undies.

(2) After waiting for the girls outside the restroom for a while, I went to check on them. The doors were the type where you can't see feet at the bottom, so I called out to the girls and asked if they were in the larger of the two and they answered yes. After waiting a while longer, I knocked on the door and said "Are you almost done?" After receiving no answer, I knocked louder and said "Come on, come out of there right now!!!" The door was opened by an older woman. I don't know which one of us was more embarrassed. My lovely daughters thought it was all hysterically funny.

Bethany Got Glasses

Bethany is happy that she has glasses - we just found out that she is farsighted. She picked these out on her own and so far (5 days) has done very well in taking care of them. She looks totally cute!
