Have I mentioned lately how much fun it is to experience the world through TinyDancer's eyes? I think that this is one of the best things about parenting! Thinks overheard in our house lately:
- "Look! The sun is saying good morning with beautiful colors!"
- "Why is it called a dress rehearsal instead of practicing for the dance recital?
You can call it a dress rehearsal, but I am going to call it practice for the recital."
- All of the kids in her class at her school brought in their favorite recipe and they have been voting on which one to make next. "Today we are making the last recipe and I voted for it. It is Butternut Squash Soup. At group time the teacher asked what we thought was in it and I said butter. Because the name is Butter *pause* Nut *pause* Squash *pause* Soup. I bet the butter is mashed up. We all get to take a turn mashing up the butter! I can't wait!"
- "This music makes me happy in my tummy"
- "Why is the moon still out? Doesn't he know that he is supposed to be sleeping when the Sun is out? Maybe the Moon is friends with the Sun and he missed him so he is staying up late to play."
- When we go to the zoo, every set of animals is a mommy and her baby or a mommy and a daddy and their baby.

It's only 10 o'clock........
and I have already:
1. been overtaken by two overzealous dogs that tricked me into thinking they *really* had to go potty, only to bolt under and out of our fence like it was nothing
2. chased above mentioned dogs all over the neighborhood whilest listening to my four year old repeatedly ask "Where do you think the puppies are?" Apparently my answer of "I'm not sure" wasn't good enough because she kept asking. I finally responded "Sweetie, if I knew where the puppies were, I'd go straight there and get them." To which I got the response "I didn't ask *where* the puppies are, I asked where you *thought* they are." A response she has gotten from me a time or two about random things......nice!
3. been scolded at by an old woman for letting above mentioned dogs escape in the first place. Here's a thought, if you see a big black bear-looking dog with a big goofy grin on its face barreling towards you and your tiny-barely-10-pounds-when-wet-dog instead of shrieking "Don't bite my dog" (over and over) like a school girl, pick up your dog! And also, if a dog isn't barking, it isn't likely to just randomly bite you or your dog!
4. felt like mom of the year when four year old daughter, who is holding the leash for dog # 1 gets dragged across the street and knocked over (on the grass) when dog # 1 sees dog # 2 barreling towards the tiny-barely-10-pounds-when-wet-dog and wants to join in on the sniffing action instead of getting in the car like I told her too.
I have a headache, I haven't even showered yet, and I'm hungry.
I can't wait to see what the afternoon holds for us!

The Mommy Fix-It Shop
Do you ever keep all of your mending until you have a nice big stack and then fix everything at once? I've been doing this since .... well..... sometimes I can be lazy. 8 )
The Mommy Fix-It Shop has already fixed:
- 1 tattered blankie
- 2 skinned knees that required 2 band-aids each
Neither of which is available for photographs as said blankie is currently in use and those two knees had better be sleeping!
Still yet to be fixed are:
1. A brown skirt - aka -My Favorite Brown Skirt. This has been MIA for quite some time - even I forgot that it needed to be fixed. This was a hand me down, but it is, in fact priceless to TinyDancer. 
2. A purple princess dress - aka - The Butterfly Princess Dress. This has also been out of commission for quite some time. So much so, that when TinyDancer asked about it a few days ago, I didn't want to confess that it *still* wasn't fixed. My "didn't we take that to Grandma's and leave it there?" excuse did not work. I was busted!
3. A Belle dress - no aka. This only need minor mending - we just have some torn tulle. I don't think that it will be missed if I just snip the torn part off!
4. A "Bubbles" dress - aka - the itchy ballet costume - needed for an upcoming dance recital. This is needed for the dress rehearsal on Monday. Perhaps I should do this one first.
5. A "Pet Shop" dress - aka - the itchy tap costume that is much more comfy than the blue one - also needed for Monday night.
Sorry that you have to turn your head......
I'd better get sewing and hot glueing!
