April

Happy 8th birthday, my sweet Hannah! 

I paid the IRS today, April Fool's Day. Fitting.

Hannah: Mom, did you have a pet when you were a kid? Wait. Were pets invented when you were a kid? I know animals were.

Abby's homework question:
Give me liberty or give me death. Which one would you choose?
Abby's answer:
Duh, liberty.

Abby, Hannah, and a friend were having a tickle fight, when I heard this:
"Somebody's touching my un-deoderanted armpits!!"

I love it when I give the Subway Sandwich employee a five dollar bill and she checks it with the counterfeit pen. Makes me feel so trustworthy.

Hannah watched as I put the trash out this morning. As soon as I walked away, a gust of wind blew an empty box from our curb to our neighbor's curb. "Well," Hannah said, "it's their problem now."

Abby said she can't wait to be a mom, because then she won't have to clean up after anyone.

Abby says that someone keeps cheating off her papers. She's now taken to writing down all the wrong answers, and once the person's done copying, Abby changes them to the right answers. Problem solving.      

Abby and I went ziplining this weekend. My camera died right when she jumped, so I didn't get that shot.

With the warmer weather, I wore a dress to work today.
Hannah: Mommy! You look so beautiful! Are you going to a ball? 
 

While watching The Price is Right, one of the models came on. Hannah said, "How do they find girls that pretty?" She then looked at me, and said, "You should do that job, Mom. You're prettier than she is."
