Adventures at Hobby Lobby

So today a friend brought me to Hobby Lobby and can I say, I LOVE that store! Dang, they have such cool stuff and you can browse for like 24 hours I swear!

Today wasn't a great day though for Kassidy, she was honry all day long. Some of the things that happened today:

a. we see a short older lady looking at beads and she says to me, "mommy you are taller than that lady and she is old"

b. we are standing in line to pay and a man backs up to get into another line and his hair is gray, long and in a ponytal and kassidy says, "mommy that guy has a ponytail...that's weird".

c. as I am paying she decides to throw a fit because she wanted the hello kitty book she got and I would'nt give it to her yet. she starts hitting me all the way out of the store and screaming, getting worse, because now I tell her she lost it until tomorrow!

I know there were more things that happened today but now I just can't think of any more that are worth telling.

So on another note, kids call things how they are. I'm not mad when she says things like what happened in example a or b above or things like "i hope my black friend is at the gym today" because I don't want to put prejudeces in her mind (is my thought) but I'm always concerned about what those people are thinking when she says innocent stuff like that. I hope they don't think she is mean, come on she's 4, but I do tell her later that maybe part of what she said was not ok, like that the ponytail was weird. I know that when she gets a little older I can explain things in a little more detail if she continues to say things like these because at age 12 I think those people would really be offended, lol.

I hope tomorrow is a better day :)

Self portraits












This is what happens when you give a 4 year old your camera phone in the back seat of your car and you aren't paying attention...

Where is my hair?

We love Kassidy's long hair

Kassidy doesn't like her hair brushed because of knots

Kassidy cut part of her hair on one side

I've been dealing with it by putting it up in the front saying it will grow out

Mommy and Daddy go get Kassidy's hair cut

Kassidy says "where is my hair" and I say "it'll grow back".

Jock strap man-maids...WHAT?

Man-Maids Remove More Than Just Stains MyFoxHouston.com

I actually just saw this on the news right now about "man maids" who wear jock straps while cleaning your house! Click on the link under the title of my post. This is so funny I had to post it. They do it here in AZ too. Would you pay?
