These kids keep me on my toes!

Today was a prime example of the interesting daily events at my house. This afternoon I was cleaning up the kitchen and re-organizing things. When I had moved a magazine on my little island I found a heart that Laney had drawn on the wood in black ink!! I knew that wasn't there yesterday!! I couldn't let her get away with drawing on my furniture so I sent her to her room. But when I went in to talk to her about it, there was no way I could stay angry at her about it. I asked her "why did you draw on mommy's furniture?". Her reply was "Because I love you so much I wanted to draw a heart for you so that every time you saw it you would know that I love you!". Seriously, how can you stay mad at that? Then later on she came into the bathroom (Privacy? Ya right!) and said "Mommy, you're a chicken - WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!". I hadn't realized that our recent obsession with the show Diners, Drive in's and Dives had leaked to our daughter! I think Guy would be proud. Then there's the little guy Lincoln, who is now crawling backwards and rolling to get where he needs to go. He's pretty quick too! He can make it from one side of the room to the other in just a few seconds. When he really gets going, i'm in trouble!!
