I Do Déclair

I celebrate the end of our shopping trip at Meijer by opening a small box of mini éclairs to share with my girls, Daddy's little helpers. 

A toddler near us whines to her mother about wanting a donut.

"No, honey, we're not getting donuts."

"But why is she eating a donut?"

"Because she's shopping with her daddy."

The mother definitely meant for me to hear her say that.
I look at the mom and mouth apologetically, "Don't tell Mommy!"

She gives me a weary "Thanks for that" look and strolls away with her whimpering daughter with the sad eyes...

I can't say I feel bad about that. Too busy eating yummy éclairs with my happy-eyed children... ; )

Playing School

Laura's Post:

Sophia and Thalia have been playing school all evening, which mostly consists of Thalia being sent to the office. 

I overheard, "You can stay here and read this book until your parents come get you. You may NOT spit in the teacher's face!" 

Time for bath, I think.

The Principal's Office!

Laura: Sophia, did you tell Daddy that you got sent to the principal's office today?

Me: Really?

Sophia: Oh, yeah. I got sent to the principal's office today.

Me: What did you do!

Sophia: I didn't get sent to the principal's office for doing something bad! I did something good!...

They tricked me, those stinkers! Apparently, Sophia's booklet was so impressive that she earned a trip to the main office to read it aloud to the headmistress. Nicely done!
