New Conditioner

So I'm sitting on the floor playing blocks with little ones when a 3 year old little guy is running past me and stops.  He looks at me funny and walks closer, smells my hair, and smiles big.  "Your hair stinks!"

"Come here!"  He calls to the other kids.  "Come smell her hair!  It stinks!"  While a 2 year old girl thought it smelled good and was ready to fight about it, a 4 year old boy relunctantly agreed, that yes - it did stink.

Moral of the story:  when buying new products for your hair, no matter how big of a hurry you are in, take time to test smell it first.

Ice Cream!!

You know there's a reason why you put ice cream in a bowl.  While talking to my family, I pull out a new box of ice cream.  Just gonna have a few bites, not worth a bowl.

Thirty minutes later and between all of us the box is 1/3 of the way gone.  Yikes!  Next time - I'll get bowls.

Tangled

You know your kid has watched too much "Tangled" when they tell you this:

"I'm gonna throw my hair at you!"

Think Disneyland

Got this email today, and anyone who has ever been to BYU Women's Conference can attest that the lines are the worst part of the entire thing.  Now we have a LOT of fun despite it, and really it's the only bad part of the entire deal, but when I got this email it was too funny not to share:


If you're curious about this, you can go to facebook and look under Liz Lemon Swindle  :)

Best Candles EVER!

My daughter wakes me up at 2:30 am and I'm thinking to myself, great.  I literally cannot open my left eyelid I'm so tired.  But she needs me so I push through it.  She's doesn't feel good and has thrown up.  And she's crying because she tried so hard to make it to the bathroom and didn't.  And I've ingrained it in their heads to throw up anywhere except on the carpet.  Blankets, clothes, the couch, anywhere except the carpet.  And that's where she made it.  Poor girl.  As I'm getting up, I walk by our dresser and stop.  We just got some new candles and I grab one and light it.  Can I tell you what an awesome job it did to keep the smell at bay?  The only time I got the horrid smell was when I left the candle's vigil.  So I'm thinking it's one amazing candle.  Cause if it can cover vomit stench, it's doing a fantastic job in my book.  So today I'm really glad for these awesome candles:

One Liners

(With much excitement.)  "I'm getting my mom a HAMMER for Mother's Day!"

"Hey you know how websites are .com?  Well I just figured out that the dot is a period."
