Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice

Went to FAO Schwarz and Dylan's today.

I forget how small 5 year olds are. One mini krackel and a sour watermelon gummy is all it takes for the most jaded 5 year old to giggle, wiggle and be out of control.
(But look! Didn't Katie and I do such a good job of stuffing that lollipop case?!)

Ellie: Katie wants a pillow in the shape of a "K."
Me: I don't see any "K"s or "E"s. I guess we're too popular.
Namz: Katie always gets shafted. She had wanted these boots, and it took forever for us to find them in her size, and we finally found them, and they turned out to be two left shoes, so we had to return them. She's so jaded.
(So sad!)

Also, children have no respect for sequential thought.

Ellie (age 8): Are you taking the train with us?
Me: For a little bit.
Ellie: So many people smell good!

In the middle of talking about baseball...
Ellie: Esther, I wish you were mine.
(Forget boys. Looks like I'm taken.)

Walking by the GM building located on 5th and 59th
Ellie: Is that part of the Apple store?
Me: No, that's General Motors.
Ellie: What's that?
And now Ellie knows about GMAC and federal loans!

At FAO, Ellie wanted a Missmatched Notebook for $12 and I told her it wasn't worth that much. But I bought it for her and told her she could only write gramatically correct sentences in it. She promised. We'll see how it goes. She's also not allowed to spell things incorrectly.

Soy exhausted! Kids are exhausting...Namz, you are super-aunt.

Katie's lyrics to Christmas songs:
Jingle bell jingle bell jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in one door open sleigh.

We wish you a merry xmas, we wish you a merry xmas, we wish you a merry xmas, happy new year.
The tidings to bring to you and to me.
We wish you a merry xmas and happy new year.
Peace out!

HA.
