Kids say...


So today Aubrey and I stopped by Babies R' Us. At the front of the store was a big display for a "Toys for Tots" program with a life-size cutout of Shaq and two overly enthusiastic children posing on it. ( Side note: Has anyone ever googled pictures for Shaq? Probably not...but you get awesome things like this and this and this!)

While we are standing in the checkout line I feel a little tug on my jeans. Aubrey motions down for me and then in a hushed tone begins this conversation...

Aubrey: Mommy?
Me: Yes, sweetie?
Aubrey: It's a GIANT! ( pointing to the Shaq cutout with eyes the size of dinner plates).
Me: Chuckle to self and then say, Yes, that's Shaq, he is very tall.
Aubrey: Mommy, I scared of the giant.
Me: You don't need to be scared, it's not real.
Aubrey: Ok! I say hi to the giant. HI GIANT!

So apparently we're good friends with Shaq now... : )

Also she has a habit of not looking where she's going and bumped right into a display post in the store, to which she very quickly apologized and said, " 'scuse me wall. " and went on her merry distracted way. At least you can't say she isn't polite!



Things I'm currently in love with...

Priority Mail flat rate boxes...


M&M's, Christmas-themed of course...




These adorable Pottery Barn ruffle lamps for Aubrey's room...




A Christmas crafter's best friend...





A welcome sight... Now if they only had "Mother with heavy toddler who refuses to walk on her own in the parking lot" Parking! :)




Mine aren't exactly iced, but definitely just as good... especially since they're are supposed to be saved for the neighbors! : )
