Franki: Mom, how do we get this house?
Mommee: you mean how did we get this house?
Franki: yeah, did some one gave it to us?
Mommee: well...daddee and i bought it and i guess you can see it as we gave it to you and Vince to use along with us
Franki: Hey mom, can we get a bigguh house?
Mommee: bigger house? why? it's too big for me to clean as it is...
Franki: i know, we can break this house then go get a new and bigguh one. sounds like a plan?

LOL FUNNY!!! but...after my laughter ended, :o I am now filled with concerns about this kid and her methods... :o

Daily observation: kiddos wake up, all mellow and chill. then about 30 minutes before bedtime (nap time included), they get all jazzed up...they'd jumped off things, run, and all that physical stuff that they could have done shortly after waking up.

Mommee: ok...lets settle down 'cause it's almost naptime
Franki: i don't want to sleep. i'm not sleepy. i want quiet time. [a short pause] pleeeeeeeeease.
Mommee: hmmm...ok...but no getting out of bed, and no talking.
Franki: ok I will be quiet. i want to have my books and my toys in the bed so i don't have to get out of bed to get them.
Mommee: uh...noooo...that's the idea, you're not supposed to get out of bed.
Franki exasperatedly sighed: ok ok i'll stay in bed. can i have only books?
Mommee: how about ONE book?
Franki in a resigned tone: ok, one book.

I kissed her "goodnight" and all that mushy mommee stuff that i LOVE to dole out :o). Then 30 minutes later, she's out cold. what gives???? :o) what's with all the negotiations and fights against sleeping? is it to exhaust their parents into bed? it's not like we need additional reasons to feel like limp noodles by the time we get to our bed... :o)

Franki: Hey mommee, would you please hide vincent so he doesn't take my stuff?
Mommee: hmmm...wouldn't it be easier to hide your stuff?
Franki: No, i want you to hide vincent in some one else's house.

...here comes Hot Choco Mustache :o)
