Monsters, Inc. Eye

Driving home from school today with Lainey in the backseat...

Lainey: Mommy, why do they have a Monsters, Inc. eye on the sign?

Mommy: A monster what?

Lainey: Why is there a Monsters, Inc. eye on the sign?  See there is one.

Mommy:  Do you mean the red stop sign?

Lainey: No, Mommy.  That one.

A Botanist in the Making?

Lainey has always been a good collector, bordering on hoarder-extraordinaire!!  She really collects anything, but seems to focus most of her attention on outdoor items - sticks, acorns, rocks, leaves...

Her newest fascination is pine cones!!  She comes home from school every day and excitedly shows us her newest treasures.

One more entry into our ever-growing book of Bad Parenting 101...

Zach and I were driving this past Saturday, rushing to a birthday party.  My patience was running thin with all of the other drivers and a little of my road rage kicked in.

Mommy:  Come on, JA, get moving!!

Zach:  I know what JA means?

Mommy:  What do you think JA means?

Zach:  *pause*. It means Jack bad-A word.

Mommy:  Jack, bad word?

Zach: No, Jack bad-A word.

Mommy:  *pause*.  No, bud.  I'm pretty sure it means John Anderson.

Zach:  Who is John Anderson?

Mommy:  He is a singer.  He sings country songs.

There are plenty of John Anderson's driving in Dallas!!
