Friday Funnies

Hooray, hooray it's Friday today! I am walking around with a big goofy grin on my face for no particular reason at all. It's a nice way to start the day and it seems to be having a positive impact on the kids too. Bonus! I am looking forward to a day of pottering around the house, doing chores and playing with the kids... admittedly, I am not actually looking forward to doing the chores but I am looking forward to the end results of having a nice clean and orderly house for 5 minutes.

Anyway, in light of my good mood, I thought I would share a few funny things about motherhood to end our week on a happy note. Enjoy!! 

I let Sophie choose the cereal on the groceries this week and she chose Nutri Grain. If you ask her what it is called though, she will firmly assure you it is called Future Grain.

After some pretty smelly pop-off's, I told Sophie she needed to go to the toilet to do a poo. She insisted that she had been that morning and therefore did not need to go again. In an effort to encourage her, this is how our conversation went:

Me: "Sophie, just because you did a poo this morning doesn't mean you can't do another one today".

Sophie: "No Mum, I did one this morning. I'm fine".

Me: "Lots of people do more than one poo a day so it is OK for you to go again".

Sophie: "Huh?"

Me: "Yep. Like Daddy. Sometimes Daddy will do 2 or 3 poo's a day" (I totally made that up but I had to try and encourage her some how and I wasn't very well going to throw myself under the bus).

Sophie: "No, actually he does 4 poo's a day...he's pretty awesome" (said with a beautiful little grin and her head tilted in daydream style of how wonderful Daddy is). 

I was on the phone to my Mother-in-Law yesterday evening and the kids were just going crazy (as they do whenever you dare put a telephone to your ear!) Sophie kept picking up Elliott and carting him around the house, the dog was chasing the kids around the play area, the kids were squealing and giggling with delight and they were also climbing all over the train table to try and get away from him. I had to halt my conversation with Elaine a few times to rouse on the kids but then came the conversation stopper...someone was knocking on the door while Sophie was picking up Elliott to throw him on the couch and the dog was trying to hump Sophie! Naturally, when I opened the door, Sophie said to this complete stranger "Welcome to the Mad House"...she wasn't too far wrong!   

Happy Friday xox
