In our little world with three growing boys, there's ALWAYS SOMETHING to smile about...
but usually only after we've given the initial blank stare with mouth WIDE open and no words coming out thinking "WHERE in the world did THAT come from!?!"

and then had a few moments to actually think it through...

The Way To A Girl's Heart...

Hanging with my nieces/nephews is pretty close to being a mom on my "list-of-awesome-things-I-get-to-do".  They're all sorta the bomb.  See why in this  conversation I had with my ever-so-spunky 4 year old niece.

Me:  I love you.
Niece:  I love you, too.
Me:  That's not what you told me yesterday!
Niece:  What!?!
Me:  You said you didn't like me yesterday.
Niece:  Oh.  I DO like you.
Me:  (perfectly flat-toned) Is it because I just gave you some chocolate?
Niece:  (not even flinching) Uh-huh.
Me:  Well, you should like me ALL the time.
Niece:  Well, YOU should give me CHOCOLATE all the time.

Me: {sigh}
