Favorite quotes of the week:

1. "I cleaned up because that's what six-year-olds do. Other kids don't obey mom because they are not six but I am six and so I clean up because six-year olds are very smart and they do what their mothers tell them to. Right Mom?" This is where I said something like "that's great--what do seven year olds do?" I got an exasperated look. This all came from our favorite six year old--I. I. said these things on the first good day after three days of some MAJOR lapses in judgment. I.'s quotes are longer than the others because I. talks a lot.

2. "I'm like a grown up now......................................I buy cheap stuff." --Et, of course....... or should I say ET???? He's the money guy.

3. "Mom, if Et complains about me getting a dress then can I tell him to wear it?" --Ev, always planning ahead.

4. "Did Ho Ho come?" "Where's Ho Ho?" "When is Ho Ho coming?" I have a calendar and I am starting to wonder. N frequently asks questions about Ho Ho. Tomorrow he gets to meet Ho Ho!

Ev performed with her chamber group today--it was fantastic!
