This is NOT a girl

"Please, Mom, cut my hair. If you don't Aunt Katie will continue to dress me up as a girl, and I will have to see a therapist twice a week for the rest of my life. Please, for the love of all that is good, cut my hair."

But I'm not Tired, Part II

Sound asleep, and so comfy.

Easter Cookies

The kids and I decided to make cookies for Easter. Actually I came up with the idea and they very strongly endorsed it. "I want cookies!" "I want tookies, too!" The neighbor came over as we were getting ready to decorate them, so we had a cookie decorating party.
After they were all perfected, we packaged them up and inflicted them on other assorted neighbors and friends.

Dance Fever

Ethan is still in love with his dance class. I signed him up for eight more weeks, at the end of which they will have a recital. He can dance in the recital as long as he doesn't ask to wear a tutu. A mom has to draw the line somewhere. Here he is surrounded by a plethora of pink.

Land Of Nod

Libby is starting to protest sleep. I usually succeed in getting her to nap, but she is going to do it her way.

Car Conversation

Ethan - Coughs twice

Libby - You otay, bubb'es?

Ethan - Yeah

Me - Libby, what did you just say?

Libby - I say, you otay, bubb'es.

Me - Did you just call your brother bubbles?

Libby - Yeah.

Ethan - She said, "Are you okay, bubbles?"

Me - Alrighty, then. Just checking.
