Preschool Fieldtrip to Cornbellys

For Elle's first preschool fieldtrip (which by the way I think it so neat and fun to do) her class met up at Cornbelly's. Her and her little friend Hope looked so cute in their little matching shirts...and Cash and Caymbree were thrilled to tag along with their big sisters. Jami and I headed down there with all the kids and our subway meals and had a great time watching the kids have a great time. That's what it's all about, right? :)

I was on a girls night out with my friends when I accidently called toby. He was upstairs yelling "Josie" into his phone trying to get my attention. Elle came upstairs and said, "Dad she's not here!"

What??!!!! How does she know this??

Cash and I (Josie) had been taking turns giving each other colds off and on for about a week. Elle finally got this bright idea and said, "Mom! I know what you need to do! You and Cash keep cuddling and giving each other colds back and forth back and forth. You just need to find someone not in this family and cuddle with them. Oh and it would be best if it was someone you didn't like."

J: He's always watching us so He knows when we choose the right or wrong.

E: So what does he do just watch us with a telescope?

05/09

E: Mom I don't want to turn 8. I don't mind turning 7 but not 8.

We were picking up some food at Arby's and Elle kept saying she wanted a cheeseburger. Toby kept telling her they don't have cheeseburgers here...just roast beef.

E: NO!

J: Then what should we do?

E: I know! Let's brake the radio so it will never say that again!

I've been attempting to teach Elle that all she has to do is ask me ONE time for whatever it is she needs and I'll do my best to get it for her right away. None of this asking 15 times. This morning I asked her what she wanted for breakfast. As I was reaching in the cabinet I realized I hadn't been paying attention to her answer so I asked her again.

E: "Mom, how many times do you need to ask me what I want?"

J: "Just one Elle." (with a smile on my face)

E: "Okay and how many times did you ask me?"

J: "Two times."

E: "So are you sorry?"
