Sugar High and Convo's With the Kids

This morning I made pancakes for breakfast. Well, H won't eat syrup on hers, but she LOVES powdered sugar on them. Everyone else had finished theirs and left the table, but H is a pokey eater (I swear, if I'd let her, she'd never leave because by the time she finished breakfast it would be time for lunch. She doesn't eat a lot, mind you, just picks for-e-ver). Apparently she wanted another pancake and was going to do it herself. I happened to turn around to check on her and found she had lost control of the powdered sugar. A little while later she was still at the table and I went in the kitchen to get a drink. I could tell she was hiding something on her chair (mom's are just smart like that, y'know). Upon closer inspection I found she was actually eating the butter out of the tub! (Reminded me of that discover card commercial..."Are you eating butter?")

Yesterday, we were driving to N's parents' house for dinner. The kids fell asleep on the way, naturally. We had just exited the I-17 and from the back seat we hear, "Mom, my lips are drying out!" It was H. She had woken up. N and I just chuckled because earlier we had seen her sleeping with her head back, mouth wide open with her blue sunglasses on. It was quite a sight.
Next, was K's turn. He woke up and said, "That was a really big snore!" He repeated it about 5 times one right after the other. I think he woke himself up with his own snoring.

Then, today H and I were sitting at the table. I was looking for a bread recipe to try for dinner and she was putting a puzzle together. For some reason she thought I had lied to her (lately, she thinks I am always lying to her). I said, "Why are you so critical of me?" (as if she would know what critical meant.) She said, "Because I know all about you. And, what you do!" About 5 minutes later she said something was "Yummy as a hippo." Followed by, "I'm just kidding. It was a joke. You are supposed to laugh when I say something funny."

And, just because I can...here is a picture of K's baseball stance. It is definitely "one of a kind."
