Even good days can go downhill...

Today started out great. The kids woke up in great moods and Jake made them all a delicious breakfast of toaster waffles. (I seriously think that might have been the highlight of the day for Evie...) 

Then we all got ready and went to see the movie Hop with Aunt Caite. Even more exciting as we were pulling in the parking lot Emilie and her kids pulled up next to us! Jake was so busy hanging out with Karaia and Beckham he didn't even talk to me again until we left the theater. Lila on the other hand, decided after the second trailer that she had had enough movie fun and was ready to go home. Fortunately I came prepared with m&m's for just such an occasion.

On the way home Jake started with the teasing. I don't know what his deal is lately with teasing his sisters, but I am about ready to rip my hair out! When he started to pretend he had a gun and was going to shoot Evie I intervened by saying, "Jacob. Was that an appropriate or inappropriate thing to say?" He asked, "Do you mean in the metaphysical sense?" I just managed not to laugh and still sound stern as I responded, "No. In the literal sense."  It is so hard not to just crack up at the most inappropriate times...

As I was making dinner Evie was sitting at the counter coloring and jabbering away a mile a minute. She was not happy that Lila was trying to join her and she must have seen that I wasn't too pleased with how she was treating her little sister. Before I could even say anything to her she said, "I'm not being bossy, I'm just telling her what I want her to do." 

I'm thinking of having that made into a tee shirt for her....

But the hands down winner for naughtiest child tonight goes to Lila. And as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words...

Don't believe that pouty lip for a minute.

As I snapped the picture she was whispering, "Dat's not too much toof-paste, dat's just a little bit..."
