Erin has been a queen of the "one liners" recently. A few that stick out are:
"Look, it's chicken on the cob!" (referring to a drumstick)
"Have a nice day there, Big Fella!" (greeting an old man at the grocery store)
"You are in deep trouble, Big Man!" (angrily addressing daddy fronm the second step at a church leadership meeting ... hands on hips, head bent down, eyebrows deeply furrowed)
We are in the process of trading Erin's room and our room (which will be the girls' room in a few weeks!). It's amazing what one finds when pilfering the contents of a 3 year old's room, as well as educational. Today I found bits of chewed up crayon, lots of torn coloring book pages (that I was quickly corrected in that they were "maps" or "messages"), medicine dispensers with sticky tylenol residue, various doll clothing (that explains why so many of the babies are naked!), and many many items that were "lost" previous to moving a few things off the floor. A perhaps even more mysterious adventure is combing through one's own room and "excavating" the nether regions of the "under-bed world" and finding what a 3 year old thinks is imprtant to bring to share with her parents. I found blocks, dishes, game pieces, gift bags stuffed with small "happy mealish" toys, dirty socks and undies, more medicine dispensers -- don't know exactly where these originate or that we had so many! --, and lots of other pieces of clothing that I thought were missing due to the "laundry monster" that is our dryer. In my closet, home of the bedroom unicorns (according to Princess Erin) I found a stash of beads, two milk cups (thankfully the milk was gone!), a "magnadoodle-type" contraption, and other various toys. I think she tried to move in months ago, and we just didn't notice! Oh the joys!

Oh, I noticed that she was trying to move in long ago. I tried to fight that battle, but you wouldn't let me throw the toys away.
Later,

Yep, that's me, the all-giving-in-push-over-mom!
