blog worthy

I have witnessed many blog worthy moments but captured only a few with my camera. I got caught in a post-holiday blogging lull, being busy with chores brought on by the new year (back to work, Mike back to school, new budget and sticking to it, filling out the FAFSA...), but Emma doesn't want to go to sleep so I'm snuggling with her and taking a break(from what? I'm not sure, maybe a break from sleeping?) to document the funny and silly moments that fill my life.
They say that kids say the darndest things--it's true. Here are some of of the latest by Riley:

"you old, mommy? you old?"

"you got the bug, mommy? does daddy want to eat it?"

"I want to rock. you rock, daddy?"
(she loves to play Guitar Hero with us)


I tell her her it's time to take a bath, go to bed, etc. Her response of when she wants to do those things: "after later"


tonight she asked to wear her socks on under her footie pj's (which she used to call "jammas with the shoes in them")



But kids aren't the only ones. I've been know so say weird things as a parent.
Like "show me the blood" when Riley is asking for the millionth unnecessary band-aid. Or we do crazy things too, like drop all of our x-mas cards in a box near the mailbox that looks like an outgoing mailbox, but isn't really because no one received your x-mas card until about a month after you sent them. It sure makes you feel silly for hurrying to get them out a full week before x-mas if all you do is drop them in the rent drop box (which I still protest is posing as an outgoing mailbox).

Now I apologize if these aren't as funny to you as they are to me. Remember, I'm the adoring mom and everything is funnier when you're really tired.

Here's what Emma has to say (more cute than funny, but to be this happy when she should be asleep...)


Now this makes me laugh:
(I tried to just email this to my family, but it was too large of a file so this was the only way to share it--I might remove it in a few days after all the family has had a chance to see it. Thanks to grandma for the gift of big girl underwear!)



Blog worthy? you tell me...
