Funny kids

I love to laugh.  My kids make me laugh.  I don't know what people do without kids.  I really don't.  OK yeah maybe they have more quiet time. Maybe more money.  More vacations. But definitely not more fun....not more laughter....and not more entertainment and memories. 

Rachel helped me make dinner tonight.  So we got it all ready and put on the table.  And Ethan took one look at it and said YUK right away.  That isn't anything new. He doesn't like many foods.  Mayah is pretty good at trying foods before she says YUK.  Well she tasted it and turned up her nose.  So she ate the pineapple and a couple of bits of the chicken tortilla casserole.  Ethan took one bite.  I don't even know if you could call it a bit.  I needed a microscope to see it.  And of course didn't like it.  Rachel liked it and had an extra helping.  Rachel said, "isn't in nice that someone is enjoying our hard work".  Then Mayah said....."the only reason you like it is so you don't hurt your own feelings.  We busted up laughing.  She is a kick.

Then I was putting the kids to bed.  Mayah had fallen asleep on the couch and Ethan was in my bed reading.  I was in Rachels room talking to her about her day and stuff.  We started talking about her birthday coming up in a couple of months.  I was asking her what type of cake she wanted.  She was telling me that she is now too big for barbie and all the kid cakes.  So she thought for awhile and said...."I was reading your blog and you said Dad was good at decorating cakes so I was thinking he could do me a Broadway cake.  And then she put both hands near her face and opened her mouth with an expression you would only see on Broadway.  OH DEAR.  I gave the message to Don.  Him and Ethan were in our bed and after I explained everything she wanted Ethan said...I'm not eating that cake.    UMM I think she is growing up way too fast.  I am thinking a Dora cake will do just fine.  :)  How do you do a Broadway cake anyway?

I am grateful for funny kids that keep me laughing.
