A friend...who's a boy

Elaina has a friend at school who happens to be a boy...who she happens to think is awesome.  This week we had a play date with her friend, "C".  This was just some of the conversation at dinner:
Me: So, C...when you get grow up do you want to get married and have kids?
C: Oh NO!  I know one thing for sure, I do NOT want a husband (no you aren't lost...he's a boy..he just got mixed up)  I am going to have my own place where I can play video games and stuff whenever I want!
Me: Elaina, are you going to get married and have kids?
E: Oh yes, I know who I am going to marry...Peyton
C: Peyton! Why would you want to marry Peyton!?
E: Because he's really nice.
C: (silence, thinking) Well, you can still come to my house and play video games and stuff if you want.
E: OK! :)

Peace and Rock N Roll!

Letter To Santa

Today, Elaina brought home her letter to Santa:

Dear Santa,

Elaina

busy, busy, busy

Apparently having a play date requires a play date schedule...or in this case and play-date segwal.  Either way, they are only on item #2.  It's not looking good for that fashion show for pets....

 My favorite is #10, tickle Pickle.  I think it will be his favorite too.

?Habla Spanish?

Elaina: (staring at the jar of salsa) - Why does it say 'verde'?
Me: Well, what does 'verde' mean?
Elaina: It means green...
Me: There, you go...it's green salsa
Elaina: Well then why does it just say salsa?
Me: Salsa is a Spanish word too, it mean sauce.
Elaina to Humberto: Is she right?

It's hard to earn credibility in our house!

Disney?

At breakfast this morning...

Elaina: I am saving my tooth fairy money for vacation
Me: Oh, are you going to take Daddy to Disney, he's always wanted to go there.
Elaina: No, he'll want me to ride that one ride and be around that creepy mouse.
Me: creepy mouse? Mikey?
Elaina: Yes, he's creepy and he has a big head...like Dora.

It's Friday, Uh oh...

In the car driving to Wal-mart...

Me: Do you guys want to do movie & popcorn Friday?
Y: But it's only Thursday
Me: I thought that yesterday was Wednesday too, but it wasn't.  Today really is Friday!
Elaina: *Gasp* Oh no, I'm wearing Tuesday panties!

Stranger Danger

This weeks writing is about dangerous bad guys, imaginary dogs and the never ending pursuit of band-aides...

A Stranger by Elaina De Santiago

One morning I was playing with my dog.  Then saw a STRANGER! I ran.  I ran to my Grams.  She called 9-1-1.  The stranger went to jail.  I got a band-aide because the stranger scratched me. And I hope that stranger is gone forever.

(Amen)
