I know what Kangaroos smell like :)

Anamarie informed me today that she knows what Kangaroos smell like. I was quite humored by this comment, but I always give her the benefit of the doubt. I happened to be curling her hair and spraying hairspray when she told me this. So, I asked her, "Anamarie, tell me what Kangaroos smell like?", she said, "it smell like that" (pointing to the bottle of Aussie hairspray)....

She almost caught a Leprechaun :(

This morning, Anamarie could not contain herself, she just had find out if  there was a trapped leprechaun.

"Watch Mom, I can Karate!!"

We all know Brett is Mr. Tough guy, but he has just learned that he can threaten his older sister (Anamarie) with his sweet karate moves, just to be tough. She believes that he is some overnight Karate Master, and he uses his "arm cross", then his "karate chop", with a "kick" and a keeee-aaaahh, to scare her away; thanks to Jaden Smith. Of course he's not hitting her, but...

---> We're Gonna Catch a Leprechaun!!

After I picked up Anamarie from school today, she kept telling me how she wanted to make a leprechaun trap. So, with a little imagination, and lots of crafts, we made the perfect trap.

Brett Can Make His Bed!

It's fascinating how quickly Brett learns how to do something. I showed him how to make his bed, and the next morning he jumped out of bed and made it all my his little self, and then came to show me how smart he was. Here he is sitting on his "made by Brett" bed saying "ta-daaa" now he's saying "oh ya, I'm awesome!" I hear these words about 20 times a day. His confidence...
