Isabella Get's Her Groove On

It's Goo-licious!

It funny, as a mom you are always playing translator with your kids. Even when they're teens, it never stops. I've been meaning to write down Isabella's "Belli-isms."

poppy weee-sawl = Pop goes the weasal

No monkeys jump the bed = No monkys jumping on the bed

Last few months she's been trying to say "delicious" but it kept coming out garbled. She finally settled on "Goo-licious!"

Set scene: Isabella sitting (ok jumping) at the table at Red Robin

Mom: Belly what are you eating?

Isabella: French fri...ummmmm Goo-Licious!

Enough said!

Just when you think they're getting on your last nerve...

They go and do something cute.

Isabella decided to conduct her own concert

while I listened to Mozart as I was cleaning the house

Donut Drums

Isabella had been bugging me to eat a donut yesterday. After many attempts to get her to eat her lunch, she finally got the donut she wanted. Now one would think she would inhail it like a Great Dane would a burritto, but alas this was not the case. No... she had a sudden urge to eat off all the frosting and play the "Donut Drums." I only knew this was happening because from the kitchen I could hear a "Squishing" sound along with singing. when I investigated I found this.

Ok, my 2yr old has been buggin to watch this "Gummie Bear" song from youtube. When she wants to watch it she asks "I watch Gummie Bear Butt?"

Moon Sand ...really?

Who ever thought of Moon Sand should be fired. Have you ever tried to play with it. The commercial makes it look so cool, pack it in special molds (not included) convienient fold up play container.

Let's face reality...it 'aint going to stay contained! Oh and the claims that it's better than real sand because it sticks together...

Yeah it sticks together - if you apply brute force of an adult it might stick together! Otherwise it just clumps and breaks off all over the table, floor and in each others hair. Oh almost forgot the best part! My daughter now had yellow and purple stained hands- so does my couch where she wiped her hands off before I could grab her. Let's just say what it really is... "poor man's play-doh!" I'll take real Play-doh anyday! Come on Moon Sand...really? Should've been left on the moon!

PS It was a gift (I wouldn't buy it), and this is what I came home to after picking up perscriptions from the store thanks to my 12yr old. Nothing like sick kids and sand everywhere...

Work Work Work!

It's Friday and my husband is working from home.

He decided to work outside since the weather is so nice,

except he had to go to the restroom.

Dad: (running) I have to go, I hope she doesn't grab anything. (Duh...)

Mom: goes outside to check just in time to see Isabella swinging her legs

and messing with? Yup... his computer!

Mom: Isabella! What are you doing?

Isabella: 'nut 'ting (nothing, big grin on her face)

Mom: Isabella? What ARE you doing?

(looking at her as sternly as possible without cracking up)

Isabella: uuummmm, working?

Mom: (Sorry I cracked up!)
