DCG during meal time discussion asks my DH how old he is.
DH replies "How old do you think I am?"
DCG "24 or 25 yrs old"
DH "I am almost twice that. I am 46"

Dcg2's gramma works at our daycare, in our preschool room. Today she was walking by our lunch table and set a (clean) wet washcloth on dcg's head for a second and the gave her a hug. When she walked back into her classroom, dcg sighed and shook her head and said, "Oh, Nana, Nana, Nana."

We had work done on our roof this summer, and the supervisor just happened to have a grey beard. So yeah, we've had Santa here for months now.

My very adorable toddler dcb was supposed to be napping, but when I walked by his PNP he was sitting up. Upon seeing me he gave me a huge, beautiful

I was randomly covering a bathroom break in a two year old room when a family scheduled to start next week came through for a final tour. Mom proudly told us that her daughter knows all her letters. To demonstrate, mom pointed to a letter A on the wall and asked her daughter what letter it was. Her daughter looked at it and exclaimed, "TRIANGLE!"

Yesterday even though I was still not well I was better enough to open.
As soon as my 6 yo DCB came in he asked if I was feeling better. Then he walked into the family room and saw the tree and said "I know! You were closed yesterday so you could decorate your tree!!"

A few days ago a dcm gave me a holiday cellaphane bag with 2 large rectangles in it. She said "the mint one is for you and the regular one is for the kids" I thought, like hell I am sharing delicious fudge with my kids lol I am obsessed with fudge.
Well, the next day I had to take my DD (2yo) to the doctor with croup. I had my ds (4th birthday that day) and dd (5y) with me. I grabbed the bag and promised the kids an awesome treat in the waiting room if they were super good. Well, they were super good and I nearly fed them soap
Oops! Poor kids luckily laughed and I bought them a goodie after the appointment but seriously...don't tease me with fudge people, you hand me a small square of anything and I'm going to assume it chocolate. I'm an optimist like that

We had some ice fall overnight and several of my kids with school siblings stayed home. Anyway, the parent that ALWAYS comes knew she would be the ONLY one here (because she ALWAYS is on snow days) text me and said " I have checked with the state patrol and just letting you know it is OK to be on the roads...see you soon!

I find it funny because I never close on snow days unless we lose power and this non-working mom is on the defense without me saying a word.

3 yr old DCB (3 in Oct) has no issues going pee in the potty but still wears a Pull-up because he doesn't poop in the toilet yet.
This morning he had been sitting on the potty going pee and was in the middle of pulling his pants up when I entered the bathroom to get a diaper for someone else..... I noticed DCB had pooped in the toilet.
I paused and said excitably
"Hey J! You pooped in the potty!!!"
DCB says
"You're welcome." and promptly walks out of the bathroom.

There is a nasty snot flowing, wet cough cold/flu thing going around. All kids have had it. Parents have been great about keeping them home when they have slightest fevers and the worst of the cough. Its made for a light few days.
Well today, one little boys nose has been flowing like a faucet. He's happy, no fever, just so much snot!
So, we made mardi gras masks and then took the extra feathers and put them in the parachute for some fun. After on big UP, I look over and little man looks tarred and feathered. His while face was covered with mulitcolored feathers stuck to his snot covered face
He looked so confused, poor baby. And I couldn't stop laughing. Then, we spent a few minutes practicing wiping our own noses and his face has been much cleaner - no more tar and feathering the babies here!

Some weeks on Mondays I only have one dcg so I take her grocery shopping with my own children and we make a fun field trip of it. A couple weeks ago we were walking down the aisles and all three kids were sitting very nicely in the cart singing "Jingle Bells" very loudly time and again. As we passed a stock person she chuckled and I just smiled and said, "I'm sorry. They don't know what season it is." She just smiled and said, "At least they're happy!"

A few years ago there was a fugitive in the area evading police so we were all on lockdown. Dcm came to pick dcg, 9 or 10 at the time, and dcm commented that earlier in the day the police had been tracking this guy by her work and the fugitive stole an ATV.
The next day dcg commented that she's never going to steal a television because she doesn't want the cops looking for her. Took me a few minutes but then I realized she thought ATV meant 'a TV'

Yeah-this happened yesterday, and I still wonder if she needs some medication or something (
) since she thought that was a good idea! Same mom who told me I should charge less for overnight, rather than more, because all her kid does is sleep (her kid goes to sleep between midnight and 1, and screams until she passes out-doesn't have to be in bed, just screams from the moment she's dropped off until she gives up and sleeps). The kid is a dream in the daytime, but overnights-not so much.
I suppose Mom thought it would be easier than sending her to TWO places, but it sure didn't sound easy for ME!
