Baby Face Piretti

Me: (doing laundry, minding my own bidness, wondering why my daughter is screaming angrily on the other side of the house, subconsciously deciding to ignore it and see if it works itself out) A: Mommy! (visibly upset) Sarah says she doesn't want to talk right now but I really really want to tell her something important. Me: give her 2 minutes, then you can tell her. S: Andrew! I'm ready to talk now! A: OK! Sarah, Sarah! Baby Face Piretti in the Scooby Doo Camp Scare, he's a bad guy and he wears a DIAPER on his BUTT! Both kids laugh hysterically. I shake my head and return to my laundry. Like · · December 10, 2011 at 11:29am near El Paso Elaine Dittmer, Cindy Childress and Jack Taylor like this. Elaine Dittmer It's their secret language, which includes Diaper and Butt and is hilarious. Diaper means 'diaper' and Butt means 'butt' by the way. December 10, 2011 at 3:04pm · Like

Kissy Kiss

If you stay after school and observe your kids with their friends on the playground, you hear all kinds of interesting things . . . like, "Diana! Let's play kissy-kiss!" and "Hang on guys, I'm gonna go pee on the tree." Hmm. Like · · December 9, 2011 at 4:50pm near El Paso Elaine Dittmer, Cindy Childress, Lester Lawler and 2 others like this.

Got a sock monkey wine bag today. Yea, I know! AwesoOoOome!! It's so stinkin cute I felt a little bad when I took out the wine to put it in the freezer so I could drink it asap. Then Mr. Monkey was reduced to a mere sock with eyes. Fear not, he will resume his seductive, winely shape after this bottle is empty. Thanks, Susan!! ♥ Like · · December 7, 2011 at 7:02pm Elaine Dittmer and Cindy Childress like this.

Cold Front

Holy Smokes, E Paso! It's freezing outside. If you haven't seen the mountain today, go have a look. It's beautiful with the clouds all over it! And I think The Pattersons are having homemade chicken pot pie tonight. If I can get off this computer and get started.
