A Little Of This And A Little Of That
Alexis started spring break today, which is to say she suddenly found herself with no one to talk to except me. She spent a solid twelve hours doing exactly that. Talky talky talky talky talky talky ME HEAD GO KABOOM UGH. After an hour of her performing elaborate stage productions complete with loud songs and intricate dance moves right in front of the television whilst constantly asking, "Did you like that song?" I had reached my breaking point. It was time that someone help shoulder a little bit of the parenting duties.
"Why don't you go see what daddy is doing?" I asked her. The GO DOWNSTAIRS AND LEAVE ME ALONE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, SMALL CHILD was implied.
Alexis thought it was a great idea and quickly ran to see where he was. Once she found him, she turned right back around so that she could report back. "He's walking," she said.
She wasn't done, though. Next she reported, "He's picking up a piece of paper."
A few seconds later, "He's walking again." That was followed by, "He just opened the fridge." Then there was, "He's walking," and "He's still walking."
Six year olds are evil.

I have a huge pile of giveaways coming soon, so keep an eye on the Reviews page or subscribe to the RSS feed. Just off the top of my head, I know I have passes for the Just Between Friends Consignment Sale, a Bottom Dollar Foods gift card, a little something for you carnivores, some Pittsburgh Penguins magic, and I forget what else. A lot of stuff.
By the way, the $50 Visa gift card giveaway is still open, as is the $100 Visa gift card giveaway.
*********************************************************
It turns out that I'm really bad at selecting winners for caption contests. I tried pawning the responsibility off on Alexis, but she was far from helpful. So...I'm leaving it up to y'all. Alexis and I each selected a few contenders and you get to vote for the final winner. There's a $25 Amazon gift card up for grabs.
You can vote as many times as you would like. The poll will close on Monday, April 9th at 11:00pm.

Let the record show that I have absolutely nothing to do with Alexis' wardrobe selections. I mean, I buy her clothes so I have veto power.There's no way I'm letting anything that has bedazzled wording across the ass into her closet, but for the most part, she picks what she wants. She has also been known to steal accessories from my closet.
She stole this scarf and paired it with the rest of the outfit on her own.
She dresses better than I do. Really.

Well, she definitely dresses better than me - I can't figure out scarves (but I love them).
And, I loved the narration of your husband's day. My older son does the EXACT same thing, while my younger one constantly says, "What are you doing?" Again. And again. And again.
It's NOT FAIR your 6yo has better style then I do and I'm 41. She looks beautiful and mature. She is both.
FYI- -comments are turned off on the Olay giveaway.
So can I steal your 6 yo for her fashn sense? I'll give her back.
