Sarcasm And Bunk Beds
Today was the big move...Gun-Gun is no longer contained in a crib and C-dub now has a roommate. I won't bore you with specifics but it was a very long day with beds being taken apart and added, and a lot of vacuuming of unknown items stuck in the carpet. My poor Dyson got a heck of a work out and many Barbie shoes lost their lives.
As most parents know, it's really hard to get anything done with three kiddos' underfoot who are utterly amazed at what lies at the bottom of their toy box. For them, each box moved was like having Toys-r-Us throw up a little in their room. After a day of "Christmas in June," both Hubby and I were getting pretty frustrated by the end of the day. I don't know how many times we threatened to throw it all in the garbage only to hear, "Go ahead. We're tired of workin'." Geesh. If only real life could be so easy...
When we finally got done around 6ish (after starting around 11ish), I threw myself on Gun-Gun's bed and Taterbug took a snuggle spot right next to me.
Taterbug: Mom, we sure got a lot done today.
Mommazilla: Yep, we did. You guys worked sooooo hard! I then laughed and received a dirty look from Taterbug.
Taterbug: Are you being sarcastic, Mom?
Mommazilla: Why do you think Taters? Maybe I was, but just a little.
Taterbug: That's what I thought. Well, you and Daddy were just greatttt parents today. You didn't even yell at us to get goin'. She then gave me a big grin.
Mommazilla: Nice Taters, very nice.

Sounds like Taterbug learn from the best. Life must be very interesting around your household. My daughter just tells me what ever and a flip of the hand. No not the finger she is smarter than that.
