HAPPY ONE-HUNDRETH POST!!!!

Wow, 100 blog posts by yours truly...I didn't know I would stick with this blogging thing for so long. I should make a cake for myself, just like they do for TV shows when they make their one-hundredth episode. :)

Anyway, I thought I would just write about some funny things my kids have been saying or doing this week that just crack me up.

(We were at the doctors the other day, and Ben got to watch the technician take my blood for some tests. He thought it was the same thing as getting a shot or something. Anyway, we started to leave and Ben starts to whine:)
Ben: " I didn't get a shot mommy. I want to get a shot too."
Me: "You really want to get a shot?"
Ben: "Yes, you have to go back. It's my turn."
(Just then, we pass by the free flu shot clinic.
Me: "Okay, Ben, you really want a shot....I can arrange that for you."
Ben: "Okay, thank you Mommy."
(Then we get in there, and the kid did not even flinch when they gave him the shot! They gave him a sticker and some candy, and he looked pretty pleased. I better watch out for this kid as he gets older. He is not afraid of needles or blood at all.)
After wards, he said thank you.

Today, we were at a friends house, and since they live in a single family home, they have a long driveway and a garage,(we live in a town house with street parking). Well, Ben thinks that is so cool and told me on the way home, "Mom, we need a road and a garage at our house. Lets go to the store and get some." I said, "Where would I get a road and a garage Ben?" He said, "We'll go to the road store and the garage store and buy some."(Like duh mom!)

While Ben was at preschool today, I thought I would make it easy on myself by grocery shopping with only one kid in tote. Bella did great most of the time until she saw all the food I was putting in the cart and she realized she was hungry. So in order to not make a scene with her pleadings, I gave in and opened one of the those REALLY big boxes of fish crackers and gave it to her to munch on (I know, I probably shouldn't do that until i pay, but at least I buy the opened food and I don't leave it on some random shelve when we are done with it....I've seen that happen before) Anyway, I turned around for a minute to grab something off the shelf and suddenly I hear a noise of someone dumping something on the floor. I turned around to find Bella dumping the entire box of fish crackers in the middle of the isle. Well, needless to say, I bought a nearly empty box of fish crackers at the price of $6. Thanks Bella. Maybe I've learned a lesson here to remember to feed my kids before we go grocery shopping.

Tapping Bella Feet:
So If any of you remember how I have been teaching a tap and lyrical class for some friends of mine, it has been going really well. I'm up to 11 students now, and it's been great for me. I usually make up all my dances at home, and I can't believe what an impact it has had on Bella. She just dances around our house most of the day and sings pretty songs to us. I went ahead and bought Bella some tap shoes...I couldn't resist, they were so darn adorable. So, when I am tapping in my kitchen, she puts on her shoes and is tapping right along with me. I took a little video of her if your interested:







Another cake I made for a friend who is having a baby. I thought it turned out cute:
