I Believe in Fairies!

.... as S and B came in the house arguing, this is what I heard...
B: Oh, come on.
S: I have a fairy costume.
B: Please don't put it on!
S: I believe in fairies.
B: You can believe in them but nothing is going to happen.
.... fades out because they went outside. Then I hear S stamp her foot and yell, "I want to be a fairy!"

I'm Ba-ack

It is no secret that my kids are not the best eaters in the world. Our girls eat occasionally, if they feel like it. Leah actually had to write something she didn't like to do for school and she said, "I don't like to eat a lot of food."

Last Sunday I made crock pot chicken and some yummy rice for dinner. Of course there was much lamenting and sorrow and many requests for cold cereal. I fought with them for a while then left the fight to Elias. He got angry and shared his tortured childhood with the kids. "When I was young sometimes we only had a tortilla with salt to eat. Many times I had to go to bed hungry, I would have given anything to eat chicken and rice." So, he decided as a punishment if the kids wouldn't eat their chicken and rice, they would have to eat a tortilla with salt.

Turns out that the kids were thrilled. So, E decided he would give it to them cold. Kids still happy. They all dug into their cold, dry, corn tortilla and gobbled it right up.
