gems

Q: why isn't daddy home yet?
me: he's stuck in traffic
caroline: oh, is he on the blue route?

(replace blue route with expressway, or the local crazy busy highway of your choice for context)

----------------------

caroline and her clique decided that they need to wear dresses for tomorrow's turkey day feast at school.

i picked a dress out of her closet and she gave me an annoyed teenager look, like i had just done the dumbest thing ever, and then she said, "no mommy. that dress is not stylish enough."

bobcat!

Q earned his bobcat badge!



high tech

caroline's school no longer sends home a daily sheet recapping the day. each classroom has an ipad mini which they use to capture photos and videos throughout the day. we get emails throughout the day with cute photos and a summary email at the end of the day.

pretty nifty.

literary genius

caroline has been working on a book for a few days now. she's keeping a lot of it under wraps but she leaked a few details. it's about princesses. who get dirty in the mud. but they don't want to take a bath. 

coming soon for download to your kindle...

soccer. now indoors.


we started indoor soccer at the ymca today, or i should say, Q started indoor soccer at the ymca today; caroline stood around whining for an hour while other children played soccer around her.  if she doesn't get her requisite 13 hours of sleep, she is useless.

good to have goals

i asked caroline what she wants to be when she grows up.

she thought carefully for a moment, and then said confidently, "a grown up,"
