Van Conversation
Cara- I wish we lived in a cabin.
me- who do you know with a cabin?
Cara- I just want to live in one, people who live in them are lucky.
me- why?
Cara- because of the little refrigerator.
me- huh?
Cara- because they get to have a little teeny refrigerator.
me- you want to live in a cabin because of the little refrigerator???
Cara- Mama, yes, it is MINI!
Okay, so we think our kids want bigger and better stuff and my child is dreaming of a cabin because of the small fridge. hmmmm.

Today, we were in the van before school and Cara had made a picture for Emma and Emma told her she didn’t want it and it hurt her feelings.
So, Emma said our little “before school” prayer and Cara said ” I want to add a prayer” and she said “please God, help no one to get in trouble at school, except Emma”…..I really tried not to laugh in front of them and tell them not to pray bad things on people….but it was funny! Ellie leaned over to me and whispered “that was kinda funny”…

I told my kids last night I thought they were getting so big and Cara said “I am still little, Mama” and I said “yes, you are the youngest”, then she said “it doesn’t matter how big I get, I will always be your baby” and she gave me a bigggg hug. So sweet.

Wal-Mart is always an adventure…Cara, Emma and I went to Wal Mart. I gave them things to do and help with and they were pretty good.
We had two little issues. The first was with barbie’s feet. I told Em and Cara they could each get one Barbie because our outing today got cancelled due to Ellie having a fever. Emma gets very upset because Beach Barbie’s feet are flat and bigger than other Barbies feet. So, being the fashion diva she is, Emma tried to fit the regular Barbie shoes and boots on Beah Barbie. It doesn’t work. So, we have to stand in wal-mart and try to see down in the boxes to see what kind of feet each Barbie has….this took a while but we found two Barbie’s with the right kind of feet.
Then, as we were leaving, Cara announced at the checkout counter “I want a beer”…..never a dull moment.

My kids are on fall break. They decided they wanted to bring the neighbor’s cat inside but they knew I am allergic so they decided to take Ms. Kitty upstairs to give her a bath so it wouldn’t irritate my allergy…Emma said “it is okay Mama, we are going to give her a bath..Ellie and Cara have her in the tub upstairs”. Luckily, I caught them before someone got their eyes scratched out!

We went to eat at the Cracker Barrel the other night. We never go out to eat because it is so expensive so Cara is not very familiar with Cracker Barrel. We sat down and she kept inching toward me, cuddling my arm. She has been sick so I thought she was just cold or something. Finally, she said “I am scared” and she pointed to the wall beside her chair. Her eyes were big as saucers. She said “why is this place so scary”? I said, “the Cracker Barrel is fun, not scary”…she pointed to the wall and said “I am scared of that”… When I studied the wall, I realized what it must have looked like to a 6 year old. There was a big, old picture of a man, as in most OLD pics, he was not smiling, there was a cutting board on the wall with a place for the knife, there was an old sign with some kind of blade on it, and there was a sledge hammer. All of these were hung right beside our table. I am thinking she thought we were having dinner at a slaughterhouse.
We traded seats and everything was fine. It was funny to look at things through the eyes of a six year old.
