Raising a Republican

Stopped at a stoplight in the car.
Kate:  Mommy, what does that man's sign say?
Me:  What man?  Oh, it probably is asking for money.
Kate:  Don't give him your money, Mommy.
Me:  Huh?
Kate:  Keep your money.  If you give him your money you will have to go and work more.

Awww... from the kid of a mom who's butt has been busted at work lately.

Happy Turkey Day!

Five miles down and I am ready to eat!

Kate ran in her first race!

Jacob, watch out. Next year, no stroller.

Car Craziness

Sarah:  This weekend we have to go to nana's house even though they aren't home because we're borrowing the car.

Kate:  Why do we need their car?

Sarah:  We have to take ours to the shop and they aren't using theirs.

Kate:  Can we borrow Papa's car?  [* note:  a sports car that zooms around]

Sarah:  No... it's too small...

Kate:  No, it has four seats.

Sarah: The backseat is really small.  I don't think the carseats could fit.

Kate:  Mine does.

Sarah:  Well.... Papa doesn't like to share his car.  It's like horsey.  Special to him but he doesn't want to share it.

Kate:  I share horsey with Papa.

Sarah:  Okay, Kate, you're just going to have to talk to Papa about this on your own.

Christmas is coming!
