HOW DO YOU PUT YOUR KID ON TIME OUT?

How do you put your kids on time out when they are so dang cute and so proud of the bad thing they just did! Chandler was sitting on my lap this morning he had his scissors and asked it he could cut my hair. " No, No I said we don't cut hair! " ( this is where I should have taken the scissors away or told him we only cut paper with scissors) Next thing I know he says mommy look and hold up one of Morgan's computer cables and says" look two!" I held in my scream but couldn't help but laugh when I told him we only cut paper. He was so proud of what he had done I couldn't put him on timeout. I am a little nervous for Morgan to find it though! He might not see the sweetness of our little boy! Or of my poor parenting seeing as he did this sitting on my lap and I had no clue totally didn't see this one coming.

What's For Dinner

Last week at dinner our conversation went like this:

Jocelyn- " Mom where did you get these noodles?"

Mom - " The store"

Jocelyn- " No, where did they come from?"

Mom - " Trader Joe's"

Jocelyn- " No"

Mom- " What do you mean, do you want to know what kind of plant they came from or do you want to know if they came out a box or a bag?"

Jocelyn- " Yeah, did you make these out of a box?"

Mom- " No they came out of a plastic bag?"

Jocelyn- " Are you sure you didn't make these out of a box!"

Mom- " Yes I am sure would you like to see the bag!"

Jocelyn - " No they just look like they are made out of cardboard"

We had a good laugh on that one! I guess a little butter and Parmesan cheese even makes card board taste better! Just 2 days ago we had the same noodles for dinner to finish of the bag and Jocelyn says as we sit down to dinner " Mom why do you always have to feed us cardboard". My response "because you liked it last time! "
