Screw it

I am not doing so well with the blogging challenge the past week. Part of the problem was that I was also trying to challenge myself not to write about the kiddos everyday. But screw it. I spend 45+ hours a week with kids that are not my own, so sometimes writing about it is the only way to keep me sane!
So, to get back in to the swing of this, here is a list of my favorite kiddo quotes of the past few days:

Dylan: Cassie, you brush those teeth so nice and bright!

Bennett: Parker don't have a penis. What does she have?

Parker (while sitting in a time out): All done crying.
Cassie: I know, but you are still in a time out for hitting Dylan.
Dylan: She won't do it again, Cassie. No, she won't. She won't.

Bennett: You're funny.
Cassie: You're funny.
B: No, I funny.
C: Bennett's funny.
B: No, I FUNNY!
C: Bennett's funny.
B: NO, NO, NO, NO I FUNNY!

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go...

Target

I called my Mom to tell her that the parents are back and that I am responsibility-free in the evenings and weekends again. She didn't answer, but returned my phone call soon after. I told her my news, and she shared with me that she was about to head into the new Target. We are a family of Target-lovers, what's not to love? As she walked in, she said "it's huge." I tried talking to her, but could tell that she was distracted. She started to ask me something, "Did you... you should see the card section, it is like the one in Grand Forks." I, again, tried to change the subject back to what I was talking about. I finally let her go because she needed to finish shopping in there before returning home to watch Lost, throwing in "it has a Starbucks" before we said our goodbyes. A few minutes later my phone rings. It is my Mom again, she called to say "You should see all the food they have. They have a lot of organic food, organic oatmeal and or...

Loving living with my sister.

Last night Jessie came downstairs to show me her toenail that is about to fall off. She was in the middle of writing a paper and decided it was something I needed to know. She ran a marathon in October and the toenail falling off is a consequence of it. And while most would be grossed out by this and wonder why it was important enough to come down a flight of very steep stairs, I enjoyed it. Not because it was something I really wanted to see, but because we can tell and show each other these things now that we are living together. Just another pro of living with her.
