I can't stand to go to the store with my kids. I am just going to be blatently honest here. I love to be with them 99% of the time. The store would constitute the other 1%.
See what happens is, the minute we walk into the store they magically turn into the "canwe" and "Iwant" imps.
I want a treat.
I want a toy.
can we get these oreos, how about these chips?
can we get a WI?
I want new pajamas.
Being the genius that I am (tongue in cheek) I devised a quick scheme during last week's particular shopping trip. "ok" I say to Tate. "If you can tell me the capital of Utah then you and Hudson can pick out a treat."
"You mean like the capital letter?" questions my little "canwe imp". To which I chuckle (I've got this one in the bag) "no sweetheart, each State in the US has a capital city. I want you to tell me what the capital of Utah is."
Tate looks up at me bright eyed "Is it Salt Lake City?"
Next time I am going to ask him to tell me the square root of pie.

Hey Megan. I found your blog via the Clegg's links. I hope you don't mind. It has been fun reading how things have been going for you. Your blog is cute. Congratulations on your pregnancy! And I love hearing the smart/funny/silly things your kiddos do.
