Rainy is silly in more than one way

So we did have green stuff despite our lack off lettuce for our nachos, tacos, and burritos...

Here is what Rainy asked for instead of lettuce though, while we were all preparing our plates. ----------->

Rainy: "Can you pass me the Grauccoli?" (Grock-o-lee)

After a pause, I realized she was asking for GUACAMOLE... but hey, it is green like BROCCOLI, so if it is green, sludgy, gunky, and slimy what does it matter what you call it, right? :)

I think Grauccoli is a good name for all green vegetables!!!

(Ok on a serious note... We love broccoli. Raw spinach and broccoli are the ONLY vegetables I can get the whole family to eat, so I am only joking, we really do eat veggies!)

Now let us get back to Rainy!

She is soooo funny with all her bracelets and anklets and necklaces, rings, bows, headbands, glitter, glamor, charisma, chic, mystique, and glam!

On the MLK Holiday, I took all the kids to the mall. A store was going out of business and everything was 75% off.

So you could imagine the look on all my munchkins faces when I said they could purchase ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING they wanted in the store.

(NO, there wasn't that much left in the store... I am not totally insane! There was just enough that they felt SO independent and excited, but couldn't spend too much.)

Rainy, added to her silly-band collection.

Do all your little girls do this silly-band trading thing?

Seriously we had a lot of fun...

Noggin News

Rainy came home from school yesterday and said...

"Mommy, during PE, Timmy (a boy from my primary class and neighbor) were running towards each other and we just SMACKED (and she clapped her hand together loudly) our heads together! We got to go to the nurse and she gave us a lollipop. I felt bad for Timmy so I gave him mine."

Well I asked Rainy to show me her 'bonk' and I really didn't see much but a tiny bruise on her forehead, so I actually wondered to myself... why did they send her to the nurse?

Then last night, I taught at scout pack meeting (insects and science stuff of course) and one of our neighbors came up and said...

"Did you hear that Rainy and Timmy ran into each other and Timmy has a concussion and has been vomiting all day? He passed out and didn't even recognize his parents!"

WHAT????? FROM RAINY'S NOGGIN'? SHE IS FINE!!!!!!!

Anyway, it seems like after they smashed into each other, and both fell to the floor, Timmy again hit his head on the gym floor, and that probably sinched the deal for him... DANG!!!!!

So let me reiterate... Rainy is fine. No need to worry. Now Timmy... he is home from school today! (BTW... we went and checked on Timmy and he looked great last night except for the black eye.)

Can I just say HOLY DANG one more time? 

Only a FOOL would doubt Rainy's invincibility!

Every time I ask her not to do some dangerous stunt, she says...

"But Mom, I am invincible!"

The Corn Maze

We went to a corn maze near our house, where the maze was cut out like David Archuleta's head (from American Idol).  There were lots of other carnival type activities to do too.
