Crime and Punishment

 Today I went to pick up Amy from school and took her right home since we had plans to go swimming with the Golightly's .  When I got home Elyse was in her room crying.  I went to go see what was wrong, when she started trying to talk I thought she had done something that she felt bad about.  That was partially true. 
 The story:  
Elyse "Caia sent me to my room."
Mom: "Why did she send you to your room?"
Elyse still crying: "I licked the wall."
Mom: "You what?"
Elyse: "I licked the wall."
Mom: "Why did you lick the wall?"
Elyse: "To get the turkey flavor off my tongue." (the turkey we opened last night and I had some today for lunch, it was fine she just didn't like the taste.)
Mom: "Caia did you send your sister to her room for licking the wall?"
Caia: "Yes licking the wall is gross."

OK I don't know what made me laugh harder the fact that Elyse licked the wall or that Caia sent her to her room for it.  Every time I tell that story I laugh myself to tears!

Golfing Side by Side

This is one of the things I love about our Dad.  He loves to take the girls golfing.  And they, love to go "golfing" with him.  He golfs, they have fun!  I enjoy the quiet house and the pictures I always get. I also love to see my girls side by side, all with smiles!  Now that's a Happy Mothers Day.
