Da Hubby came home on Monday after work with a haircut and meeting him at the door, the kidos immediately noticed. Here's how the conversation went:

Kids: "Daddy!! You got a haircut!!"

Da Hubby: "Yep."

Perri: "You look nice, Daddy."

Da Hubby: "Thanks, sweetie."

Duglin: "Looks good, Dad."

Da Hubby: "Thanks, Dugley."

Daylor: "Dad? What's that white stuff in your hair?"

Da Hubby: "That would be gray hair, son."

Daylor: "Oh, it looks weird."

Me: "Daylor!! That's rude!"

Daylor: "Uhhh, no, mom. What I meant is that his hair looks experienced and smart."

Nice.

A sign that I might be spending a little too much time blogging:

Oopsie-Doopsie! Tee-Hee!

Duglin's Grocery List...

When we asked what the fourth item was he said it was hats and strings (streamers). Literally, everyday is a party for this child. Oh, how he makes my insides smile. :)

Perri coined a new term at our house this week. She informed her daddy and I that she was very excited that summer was coming. I asked her why and she said she was looking forward to getting outside to do some "excessorizing".

"Ex-cess-or-izing" - verb - workin' out and looking fab with a few accenting articles.

I'm thinkin' I need to call Webster's!

Sitting down at dinner, we were discussing that they were showing the movie "Enchanted" at the doctors office yesterday when I took in Duglin. Our family is slightly obsessed with this movie. We LOVE it! Especially, you guessed it, Perri. We are constantly quoting one liners from this movie. Anyway, if you have ever seen the movie you would be familiar with the term, "True Love's Kiss." It's pretty much the theme phrase of the movie.

Here is how the conversation went:


Perri - "Mommy did you know that True Love's Kiss is not real?"

Me - "It's not?"

Daylor, with his most disgusted voice - "Unfortunately, Perri, it is. People actually do that."

Tee-Hee!



Go kiss your True Love today!

Perri enjoys watching DVDs that have any kind of music on them, especially anything that relates to tiaras and castles. Regularly she makes up her own, umm, "choreography" with them. The other morning while the boys were doing school, Perri was occupying herself by dancing around the den to one of her Disney Princess movies.

Daylor, who happens to adore his sister, but finds her extremely feminine attributes a little over the top and annoying, looked over at her and grinned. He looked back at me and said, "Mom, she is so cute! I am so glad you guys decided to adopt her." (Side note for those who don't know my family - Perri is not adopted.)

Gotta love when they develop a sense of humor at an early age. :)

Evidence that Perri may be watching a little too much Strawberry Shortcake...

Perri - "Daylor! Duglin! Come look out the window!!!"

Daylor - "What?"

Perri - "Come look!!!"

Daylor - "I don't see anything."

Duglin - "Me, neither."

Perri - "You don't see them!?!?"

Daylor, getting annoyed - "See, WHAT, Perri?"

Perri - "The yard! It's covered in "wishberries!!!!"

Daylor and Duglin - (eyes rolling)

I didn't have the heart to tell her, her daddy just Weed-B-Gone-d the "wishberries" soon to be "deadberries." Oh, well. Bye, bye "wishberries!" Hello, Bermuda!

I overheard a conversation the other morning between Perri and Duglin that went like this:

Duglin - "Perri, I think I have decided something."

Perri - "What?"

Duglin - "I have decided that I am going to marry you."

Perri - "You want to marry me?!?!?"

Duglin - "Yes, but we can NEVER kiss!"

Perri - "Duglin. I can't marry you."

Duglin - "Why not?"

Perri - "Because I already told Daddy I would marry him."

Duglin - "But I want to marry you, too."

Perri - "Sorry, Duglin. Daddy kisses."
