"I hope Beeves (Levi) doesn't grow up so we can have the cutest baby ever." - Luke, age 4

My BFF and I laughed earlier this week how kids have an awesome way of keeping us humble.  Her daughter and Chloe had the funniest kid conversation ever.....the kind you can only laugh about with your closest friend. I should have sensed the foreshadowing that was about to take place, because I had quite a week.  So, in case you're having a bad week, I wanted to let you know you're in good company. Here is a recap of my week's highlights: - A certain toddler of mine had the most epic tantrum of my motherhood experience in, of all places, IKEA!  If you've been to Ikea, you know it's an absolute maze.  Imagine navigating that maze with a screaming toddler who will not stay in his stroller seat, so you're holding him while he hits and bites you between screams.....while carrying a large easel for your young artists.  I proceeded to have the slowest cashier ever, and the people in front of me tried paying in Euros.  So, yeah, that was awesome. - To make it ev

My favorite show of all time, How I Met Your Mother, ended on Monday......with a precious series finale. In the fan world, there was apparently a lot of people who were not happy with the ending.  Honestly, when it comes to TV, I am not a huge details person.  I sort of half-watch everything.  This show I watch more intently, but I still can't remember much of the details.  This whole last season has been the best yet.  I have loved how they reminisced while still staying current.

The series finale was not what I had anticipated, but it stayed true to the integrity of the show.  I actually held it together for the first 50 minutes of the show, but the last 10 minutes just ended it for me, emotionally.  It may or may not have involved a newbor

A conversation in the car today. It started with Caleb and Chloe arguing who is the boss of our family. Caleb: Mom is the boss.  Her name is Boss Lady, you know (that is what Brett calls me). Chloe: No, her name is NOT Boss Lady. They argue back and forth, finally Caleb asks me if that's my name....to which I reply, "That's what Daddy calls me." Chloe, snarkily: Well I was wrong.  But that is the last time in my entire life I will be wrong. At the dentist this week, the dentist was counting Luke's teeth.   Luke told him (totally straight faced):   "I was jumping on the trampoline by myself.  I fell, and my tooth came out." The dentist asked to see this tooth. Without skipping a beat, Luke said, "Oh, it already grew back.  It's magic." We all about fell out laughing.
