Know what this is?

The hunt for cute and modest dresses is never ending.  And affordable.  That's a criteria too.  :)  Tonight we found a cute skirt and shirt combo, even though my daughter really wanted a dress.  Well blue moons are pretty rare, and so is an occasion when my daughter and I both agree on clothing, so of course yes I will buy it!

When we're checking out, I ask the sales lady if she thinks the top and skirt go well together.  I think it does, but I am not a fashion expert by any stretch of the imagination.  Yes, I know that's such a shocker for those of you who know me ha ha.

She looks at them and slowly tells me, "Yes, those go well together.  Or you can wear this (holding up the skirt) as a dress ..."

We didn't know it was a dress!  Completely oblivious!  Lol, my daughter is the same height as me right now and, well, that just isn't very tall.  Regular stuff is always too long so when it was dragging on the ground I told my daughter it's for tall people and to just pull it up a bit.  :)

I still bought it, and yes, it's a skirt for us.  And it looks great on her, especially with the top we bought.  She'll look very nice and modest at her next band concert - hey, wearing her stuff!

Sunday Fun

Two funny things that happened at church today:

First, this baby we got to play with during Sacrament meeting got a fist full of my husbands beard and wouldn't let go.  Those of us watching thought it was pretty funny as she pulled and pulled ...

Second, a little girl was giving her talk in primary.
Her mom, prompting her, "Today I am going to talk about"
Little girl, "Today I talk about"
Mom, "The Plan of Salvation"
Little girl, "The Plan of Celebration"
:)  I think it fits.

How much trouble I can get you in vs. how much trouble I'll get in, and the winner is:

There are two family members talking in the other room within earshot, this is where my attention was grabbed:

Family member #1:  "... I'll tell mom on you."

Family member #2:  "Ya, you have a lot of room to talk downing the only Hershey's chocolate there is in the house."

Now there are several parts of this conversation that are pretty funny to me.  First, family member #2 is my son.  Family member #1 is my husband!  Lol, so my son will get in trouble from me but not from him?  Ya, there are several times when it's that way so I can see that.  Then, my son knows his ammunition well enough to know he won't get tattled on if he uses what he has - chocolate.  The last of it and you're daring to eat it.  The implication is clear - you're not telling on me anytime soon Dad.

I'm still laughing.

Blueberry Pancakes

I just finished talking to my son about what to have for dinner.  Blueberry pancakes are really sounding yummy but he doesn't care for blueberries and wasn't too thrilled about that idea.  While trying to sell the idea, I let him know it would be very easy to make him regular pancakes.  (And thinking, he's made pancakes several times, he should know this... )  He tells me, "Ya I know.  You add the toppings after pouring the batter.  I learned about it from a computer game I use to play."

Overheard Piece of Conversation

While at the store, I hear a mom kindly telling her child: 

"No - buying stuff SPENDS our money, 

NOT buying stuff SAVES our money."

Eggs

There's a certain 6 year old boy that my daughter considers her little brother.  Today that little guy was helping her collect the chickens eggs.  Now it's very normal for him to ask me if he can bring this or that to his house so it took me a little by surprise when he came in today, carrying an egg in each hand, and asked me:  "Can I have these to egg my house?"

Me:  "Do you know what that means, to egg your house?"

Him:  "Ya, it means to throw eggs at my house."

Me:  "I don't think your mom would like that very much."

Him:  "No, she's okay with it."

Thanks for Hulk!

My nephew, 2 years old, slammed his finger in the bedroom door.  It ripped his fingernail off completely.

My brother-in-law was there and had an army military issued first aid kit and after taking care of the finger, wrapped up his hand in the green wrap to make sure he didn't pick at the finger.  My 2 year old nephew's response?  After staring at it for a minute he replies:

"Hulk!  Smash!"

And proceeded to walk around punching everything he saw repeating very excitedly, "Hulk!  Smash!"
