It's Not THAT Far...

This is a conversation I had with Caitlin on the way home from school today...

Caitlin: "Hey Momma, can I ride my bike to school Monday?"
Me: "No Cait. It's way too far. It takes me 10 minutes just to drive there at 55mph. If you rode your bike, you would have to get up in the middle of the night to make it to school on time."
Caitlin: "Nuh-Uh. It's not THAT far. All I would have to do is drive, drive, drive...turn, drive, drive, drive...stop at the stoplight...drive, drive, drive...and I would be there. See? It would be very easy!"
Me: "Is that all you would have to do? Well, sweety let me tell you something. It's not that easy."
Caitlin: "Ok, let's make a bet that I can make it on time, and I can test it out tomorrow."
Me: "Cait, you don't have enough money to make a bet that would convince me to let you try."
Caitlin: "Uh-huh! I do too! I have 2 quarters!"

The Car Nazi

On our way to drop Caitlin and her friend Mariah off at the skating rink (it was a church sponsored skate night), we had a "Christian funny" occur. He is the biggest romancer on the planet, so naturally when Mariah got into the car he turned the charm up about 100 notches. He was giggling, outright cackling, and calling her name every5 minutes. He would bat his big long eyelashes at her and would not stay turned around in his seat. Finally, John had had enough.
"Christian! Turn around and sit up straight. Leave those girls alone please sir," he said.
Christian did as he was told with a pouty face and crossed arms. The girls continued to chatter and giggle in the very back seat. As we were approaching the skating rink, Christian turned around and said, "KIDS! That's enough! You need to be quiet right now!"
John and I had a very hard time containing our laughter. He continued to gripe at them until they exited the vehicle, making sure they were as properly punished as he was. With the girls gone, he turned his attention to Caroline who was cooing and screaching at her feet.
"Carowine (as he calls her)! That's enough! You be quiet too," he said. Poor Caroline just looked at him. That boy cracks me up!

I got this from a friend of mine (her myspace page actually) and thought I'd give it a try. Obviously this site meter has no clue...see my results!!

Busybody With An Attitude

Caroline is getting so big! *deep sigh* She is into EVERYTHING, and multiple times a day for that matter. She knows just how to push Momma's buttons too. :) Here are some actions shots from the first half of her day.
It's no fun unless you're IN the toy box
Discovering Momma has a camera on her
Now on to re-arranging the tupperware drawer
A trip to the kitchen isn't complete until she's attempted to play in the dog's water
Time to steal the phone and make some calls
And this is what happens when Momma takes the phone away :)
