The other day I was reading some stories to Allie after I had worked a 12 hr shift, she gets really needy the second I walk in the door and I love it! She had gone to the library with her dad that morning and had been talking his ear off all day, so I was glad that it was my turn to hear the hilarious thoughts roll out of her head...

She was looking in my mouth and talking about teeth and dentists and asked me which one of her teeth was her "sweet tooth"?

She said Teacher Wendy told her that she had a sweet tooth, so which one is it and do the other's feel sad that they aren't the "sweet" ones?

I love this stage of a child's life when they share exactly how things seem to them. I remember when I was little that I was afraid to eat donuts because of the Crystal Gayle song

"Don't A Make My Brown Eyes Blue" because I thought my dad said "donuts make your brown eyes blue" when he was singing it! I wish they could stay that innocent for longer!!!

I feel like my kids are growing up WAY too fast!

I'm grateful that they are growing up and are healthy, but it just goes way too fast!!

I love all three of them so much and Iknow I am so lucky to be their mom!!!

My friend Wendi let me borrow this book and I was GLUED to it for a couple of days...

I have had some slow times at work and have an opportunity to fill some time with reading books that don't have pictures, it's a nice change. This book was so easy for me to relate to in lots of ways for some reason, I highly recommend it if you have some reading time coming your way!!!

Why do gorillas have such big nostrils?

Big fingers....
