so, we punished my son this week.
well, when i say, what i really mean to say is the husband.
I didn't punish him. ever since the whole broke-mommy's-camera-mommy-cuts-up-blanket fiasco, i have punishment issues.
anyway, he was sent to his room for a 3-minute time-out.
when he came down, he looked at the husband. with very angry eyes.
and said:
"You're done. You're fired." (which actually sounded more like, "you'we done. you'we fi-ewed")
complete with hysterical 'it's over' hand gestures.
seriously. my son cracks me up.
and i didn't think it could get any better than the "see ya later, fweeks" line.
******************
Isabella got lots of good toys for her birthday.
the clear favorite has got to be the farm fridge toy.
i think the husband and i are enjoying this toy more than the kids.
it's a mix and match farm animal game.
for example - you put the sheep front on and the horse back on and then it sings this little song:
"a sheep in front, a horse behind, put them together, and what do you find? a sheep-horse! that's silly."
oh...you can see how this would be great fun for two adults who have the minds of 12-year-olds.
and it totally left the door for all sorts of "in front" and "behind" combinations...
