Do you have a dollar?

I've just spent all day slaving over Reese and Cass' play room. I've rearranged furniture, made sure to get rid of all the little things Cass would some how manage to find and shove in his mouth. I put protect covers over the electrical outlets, vaccumed and shampooed the carpet, put up pictures, the works!

So when Reese and Cass got up from their nap I was pretty excited to show them 'the new and improved' play room.

When Reese walked into the room she seemed pretty happy but she didn't say anything.

Me: "Do you like it?

She turned around with this fake *I'm so proud of you I'm gonna cry look* and she says:

"Momma, 'gradulations! It looks so good! I'm gonna give you a dollar to put in my piggy bank!"
*she pauses*
".........momma, do you have a dollar I can borrow?"

Apple Pie

Reese and I were walking through walmart, on a mission to find the ingredients for a peach cobbler to make my husband, Shaylon. Being from a very small town, it's impossible to go anywhere without bumping into someone you know. And without fail, this trip was no different. We had been in walmart for possibly 2 minutes when we ran into a sweet, elderly lady we know quite well.

Woman to Reese: "Hi, Reese! How are you?"

Reese: "I'm good....."

*Before I continue, I should probably enlighten you that the cute, elderly lady was wearing an adorable crochet beret quite similar to the example below*













As I am on every outting with Reese, I was on guard. I was waiting for that moment when someone would get too close to Reese's pretty face and she would so nice and politely encourage them to brush their teeth or when she tells the nice lady stocking the shelf that "Mommy and daddy fight so bad! Daddy sleeps on the couch ....he likes the couch though." Only to have the woman reply: "Sweety, they only fight so they can make up." *wink wink*.
Oh yes both situations have occurred.... within the past 2 weeks. Heaven help me for having such an honest hearted, loud mouthed 3 year old.

*Back to the story at hand*

Woman to Reese: "Have you been playing outside today?"

Reese: "No. Not today. It's kinda too cold."

Woman: "Yeah. It is kind of cold. It was warm yesterday. I even got to work in my garden yesterday. But today I had to put on some warmer clothes."

Reese: "Is that why you're wearing that hat."

Woman: "Yes, Ma'am."

*Reese draws a breath ready to reply and my next thoughts are*

"Dear God, please help it to be polite.... Please help it to be polite! Please God...."

Reese: "......It looks like an apple pie. I loooooove apple pie!"

*Thank you, God. .......I think.*

Woman to Reese: "I thought it looked more like a cherry pie but apple is good too." :D

Short stories

*Reese got up from her nap and her hair was soak and wet*

Me: "Shaylon, did you put water or something in her hair?"

Shaylon: "Nope, it's sweat. She must have gotten too hot while she was sleeping."

Me: "Reese, why is your hair so sweaty!"

Reese: *she sighs, shrugs her shoulders & says: "Just because God made me that way...." :/


*Reese has been getting into trouble here lately for lying. I mentioned to Evanie that its hard to determine if Reese is telling the truth sometimes because she's a really good liar. (which i do no condone!) so Evanie starts talking to Reese.

Evanie: "Reese Ella, your momma said you've been getting into trouble for lying?"

Reese: "Yeah, I did."

Evanie: "Reese, that's not good. :( Jesus doesn't like it when we lie. Do you know where liars go?"

Reese: "Yup, they go to the courthouse to get a sticker to put on da back of dare (their) car."

*Evanie looks at me with a confused look :/ *

Me: "She's referring to the DMV......" lol

Evanie: "Close enough!" LOL


*Reese was taking a bubble bath*

Me: "Reese, is your bath water too hot."

Reese: "Nope. It's just a little spicy...."
