LOVE IT/LOATHE IT!

Hold on to your hollyhocks! It’s time to play the February edition of LOVE IT/LOATHE IT!


LOVE IT: Infectious laughter.
LOATHE IT: Ear infections, sinus infections, and all of the other croup and crap that keeps circulating in our house.

LOVE IT: Pre-Valentine’s dinner at Ruth’s Chris (Dee-lish!), Blue Valentine (Dee-pressing), Melting Pot (Dee-sert!), and sleeping in the next morning (Dee-lightful!)
LOATHE IT: (Dee-fiant) Pre-schoolers who refuse to eat the special Valentine’s breakfast I made for them.

 (At least my baby still loves me.)


LOVE IT: Andy enjoying a Jazz game from floor seats at the ESA. . .
LOATHE IT:   . . .while Melinda cleans up mac and cheese off the kitchen floor.

Fortune Cookies

A few nights ago we took the kids to dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant, Maple Garden. We got a good laugh when it was fortune cookie time. Brayden's fortune actually read: "You're judgement is a little off at this time." No kidding! That must be why he filled up the bathroom sink with water and immersed one of Makenzie's favorite books in it. And peeing in the closet? Well, it's simply because his judgement is a little off. It all makes sense now.

But it got even better. When Andy cracked open Lexi's cookie, Brayden immediately grabbed the paper out of it and pretended to read it. Her fortune: "You will not pull Kenzie or Brayden's hair anymore. Or Mommy's. Or Daddy's." This time, at least, his judgement was right on.
