"Awe, baby!" (looks down at baby doll)
"Wait! You're not my baby!" (tosses baby to floor)
I'm sure she's off playing with a puppy or kitten. She prefers the stuffed animal variety.

Two Thousand and Late
06.17.09
Thanks to my husband, Ryan, my kids are obsessed with the song 'Boom Boom Pow' by the Black Eyes Peas.
I hate the song. It's noise.
That said, listening to Sophia sing "Gotta get-get. Boom-boom-pow!" is pretty cute.
What else?
Alyssa has been killing her sight word flash cards. She's amazing.
Bubby has finally learned that his first, middle and last names are not Bubby. His only question, "Why do you call me Bubby then?" Er. . .
Sophia has been using the potty for two weeks tomorrow. Her last accident was LAST Sunday. Do you know how cute that little butt is in Dora panties? Cute!
Olivia has 3 teeth and one more on the way. She has also developed a fake laugh. It's hilarious.
I'm in love with these amazing little people. They make me crazy and keep me sane.

Ryan: I'm going to train you to be a warrior so you can take care of your sisters.
Bub: (crying) I don't want to be a warrior, I just want to be a Chef.

Bub: Why do you just keep calling me here?(Referring to why he is being forced to talk to me on the phone while at Grandma's)
06.09.09
Me: Are you watching old videos?Bub: Yes. You're little and Grandma and Grandpa AREN'T old!

Oatmeal and Onions

Bub: Why do you have an onion? What's for dinner?
Me: Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and broccoli.
Bub: Oh.
Alyssa: Bub, what are we having?
Bub: Oatmeal and onions.

Letter To The Landlord
04.11.09
Dear Landlord,
I just wanted to thank you for coming home drunk and blasting your music for the third time this week.
I love that you turned it up extra loud last night and sang along. It was like my own little concert at 2:26 AM. I almost forgot how much I love laying in bed with my eyes open unable to sleep.
Please, don't worry about the walls vibrating or the fact that you kept my husband and I up until almost 4:00 AM. How were you to know that he's been working 9:00-9:00 shifts for 10 days straight?
Let's be crazy and do it again tonight! I mean, who doesn't want to get drunk everynight and come home, turn up the tunes and stomp around singing? And hey, let's do the Spanish music again tonight. Listening to you attempt to sing along in another language (that I would bet money you don't actually speak) while so drunk that you don't seem to care that I have four sleeping children under you was great fun.
Sincerely, Your Tenant
p.s. you still haven't fixed the drain downstairs so I can quit spending over $100 at the laundromat every month.
Also, the windows you were going to fix (or you were going to lower the rent), don't worry about it. Winter is almost over so our $446 monthly gas bills are almost done.
Now, let's turn on some Gaga and Kanye. Yes, silly, I know it's 9:10 AM and you had a long night but it will be fun. I feel like dancin'!

"Send in the unicorns!" *claps hands twice* 03.04.09
"I think you're on his spike, Alyssa." Referring to Ryan's spine. 03.05.09
"Dad, I will kill you with this book." We told him not to say that anymore. 03.05.09

Butterfingers
01.29.09
Oh, the Butterfinger. I have recently discovered Butterfingers. Sure I've eaten them in the past, but they never did anything for me so I ignored them.
Ryan and I like to keep the mini candy bars in the freezer. They are perfect for late night snacks. You have one, your chocolate craving is gone and you don't feel guilty in the morning because you shoved three pieces of chocolate cake in your mouth at 3 AM then followed it up with a glass of chocolate milk.
Yes, I know, I'm dieting and shouldn't allow myself chocolate. I tried that route, it doesn't work. I go a week without chocolate then find myself hoping someone sent me some Ferrero Rocher's in the mail.
Fucking love Ferrero's!
I get crazed then I cave and call the husband at work and tell him to not even bother coming home unless he has chocolate and a Dr. Pepper.Back to the Butterfingers, I love them.
I feel as though I have been missing out on Butterfingers this entire time. Years lost to Snickers and Peanut Butter Cups.
Butterfinger, I love you.

Tooth Fairy
01.20.09
Alyssa: Mom, I need that tooth fairy pillow for my bed.
Me: Okay. Take it.
Alyssa: I need it in case I loosed a tooth so the tooth fairy can come and leave me a magical penny so I can go get some cotton candy.
Me: Who told you that?
Alyssa: Me. I just came up with it. I just said it.
