Maybe

I had to document this before I forgot it. My kids constantly say things and I put it in the reserve part of my memory (aka worthless part...haha) so I can be certain to remember it for years to come.

We put up our Christmas decorations on Saturday and this conversation took place Sunday evening. Due to technical difficulties (broken tree stand for the SECOND time) we put off doing ornaments the night before.

So here's how the conversation went:

Kambri: Can we put the ornaments on the tree tonight?
Me: Maybe.
Hollie: Most days maybe means no.
Kambri: Mom, today can it mean yes?

Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard. Needless to say, we ended up doing ornaments and I learned a valuable lesson. Perhaps I could try having 'maybe' mean 'yes' more than 'no'.

Sleeping Beauties

We/I like sleep time a LOT! Maybe it'll wear off on my girlies after all.

Uncle Chris stayed the night and the kids were all super excited. Kambri grabbed her blanket the next morning and went and crawled up next to Uncle Chris who was still trying to get some ZZZZ's in.

How sweet is that?

As Chris taught my children so readily, this should be a "Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey" moment!



Hollie got some cute pj pants that came with this sleeping mask. She decided to wear it to bed one night and I honestly didn't think it'd stay on long. (Figured it'd be off before she even fell asleep.) So when I walked in to check on her in the night and found her this way, I couldn't help but take a quick picture!

A shoe mishap

School shopping brought a new excitement into little Kami's room. Let me set up the scene for you. I am in the living room playing the piano for a few minutes and then realize it's really quiet. I go to check on Kami and this is what I see.

She's trying to wipe off glue from a glue stick off her foot.

I then look and see that her shoe straps are cut off. Yes, that's right. Her brand new shoes for school that have never been worn, with a makeover- Kambri style, which entails cutting the straps into several pieces and then using a glue stick to glue the inside of her shoe.

So our conversation went something like this:
Me: Kambri, why in the world did you cut your brand new school shoes?
Kambri: I didn't like the straps.
Me: And why is there glue on your foot?
Kambri: I glued inside the shoe so that my foot would stay in.
Me: If you would've left the straps on there wouldn't be a problem KEEPING your foot in.



Grandma Leslie took the shoes home to do surgery on them and she did a pretty darn good job. If only the little stinker would wear them now. Nope! Not once...
