Well, all the snow and ice have kept us home quite a bit this week and the kids have been a bit stir crazy. But in all this there have been some funny moments...
Caleb and Sadie came tearing down the stairs, one after the other giggling and squealing. They ran through the living room, into the dining room, around the table, back to the living room then back upstairs. We could see Sadie carrying a little tiger figure (one of her Little People friends) and while she was running, she was yelling "Tiger gonna catch you Caleb, arrrgh, arrrgh arrggh" This sent Caleb into another giggling fit as he ran up the stairs to get away from the tiger.
This morning at breakfast.
Every morning we have the ritual of asking the kids what they want for breakfast. For Caleb, everyday it's the same thing - a piece of bread with butter on it, raisins and Clifford cereal. Well, with Sadie, you never know what she's going to request. We've been asked for a grilled cheese sandwich, peanut butter sandwich, cookies... you get the idea. This morning she very sweetly asked for some mini-muffins for breakfast. Unfortunately, I only get those when they're on sale and they haven't been on sale for awhile so we had no mini-muffins. I explained to Sadie that I was sorry but that we didn't have mini-muffins this morning. She replied, again very sweetly, "maybe we need to go to the grocery store and get some mini-muffins." Of course :-)
I was able to talk her into an English muffin instead this morning and she seemed quite happy with that. Breakfast continued without problems. Sometimes, Caleb requires a second helping of breakfast (probably because he doesn't eat his dinner all the time). This was one of those mornings. So after Caleb finished his plate, he politely asked for some more to eat. I asked what he wanted and he asked for some "English food" and then to clarify further, some "English bread."
