Friday:
While driving the girls to school in the morning Aubrey was telling us about a dance she made up called "The Flying Chicken". Ella piped up from the back seat and said "Chickens are a flightless bird that live in a coop". She said it just like she was reading it from an encyclopedia. Aubrey just stared at me waiting for me to interject... I had NOTHING.
Saturday:
I was explaining to Ella that I couldn't find an item at the store. She tells me "Just use the dot coms mom... you know, .com"... OH BROTHER!
Sunday:
"Mom, can you Netflix Sex-er-tariat for us..." LOL!
Today:
Ella was wearing her favorite dress. I asked her if she was going to wear her favorite sparkle Hello Kitty shoes with it. "No mom. It isn't sunny out. You only wear your sparkles when it's sunny out." Well OK then.

Yesterday Morning
I'm awake, I'm up. Coffee flowing through the veins. Lunches are packed. Backpacks are ready. Dogs are outside.
It is time to go get Ethan dressed and ready. I walk back to the bedrooms and am surprised by Aubrey who is up and dressed. Her hair is done nicely and she is looking great! She is ready for school! AWESOME!
Back to Ethan. I get start to get him dressed and ready for his day. He starts smiling at me and cooing. Nothing is sweeter than a little babe smiling and cooing at you in the morning. FANTASTIC!
Can this morning get any better?
Time to get Ella up. I go into her room and turn the light on. No movement. I walk over and take the covers off of her. She rolls around unhappily. Finally she gets out of bed. What does she say to me? "Mommy, I think I need a latte...." OH BROTHER!
Get behind me Ella, the line starts here!

Hola
I think I am a pretty good mom. My kids know not to talk to strangers. Now, weather or not they listen to me is always another story...
Lately, Aubrey (my 7 year old) has taken to saying "Hola!" to anyone who looks like they might speak Spanish. WHY?! It is usually a short conversation. The person she is saying "Hola" to usually thinks it's cute and they rattle off something to her is Spanish....She of course has no idea what the person is saying and shrinks in embarrassment. Does this embarrassment stop her... NO!
The thing that I don't understand is why on earth it's ok to say "Hola" to Spanish speaking persons, but she knows (or chooses) not to say "Hello" to anyone else... Maybe she thinks that I have no idea what "Hola" means?
"Hola" Aubrey, Mom's onto you....
