Tonight Mark was reading the girls "Pinkalicious", a great story about a girl who eats too many pink cupcakes and wakes up pink all over. There is a part that says, "My friend Alison couldn't even see me because I blended in with the pink peonies."
Mark got to the "...blended in with the pink..."
He fumbled with the word peonies, trying ...ponies?...perionese?...peries?...pieries?"
Finally Addison said, "it's flowers Daddy"

All the things we like to eat are animals!
This is my first post on my first blog. I guess I'll just jump right in! Last night, my 4 year old, Caroline, and I were having a conversation before bed. I'm not sure how it started, but it went something like this . . .
Caroline: I would never eat a frog.
Me: Some people do.
Caroline: (horrified) WHAT?!
Me: Yes, some people eat frog legs.
Caroline: Really?
Me: You eat cows.
Caroline: (disbelieving) What?
Me: Where do you think roast beef comes from?
Caroline: I didn't know that.
Me: And bacon and sausage are made from pigs.
Caroline: I didn't know we eat animals.
Me: How do you feel about that? About eating animals . ..
Caroline: (very thoughtful) Not good.
Me: Should we just eat fruits and vegetables and pasta?
Caroline: yes.
Me: What about fish? Is it ok to eat fish? (She LOVES salmon)
Caroline: Well, I DO like my salmon. I can't wait to tell Addie (her 2 year old sister) that all the things we like to eat are animals!
