This face may look sweet and innocent to you but to those of us who have lived with this face, we know what she is capable of. On a very cold winter day this week Maya and Alexa were playing on the computer as I was unpacking. I have been trying to monitor their TV and computer consumption since it would be so easy just to let them enjoy it all day long while I am working around the house. The job of a mother never stops, not even for boxes. They were banned from it for the rest of the day because of their inabillity to listen and get their jobs done BEFORE playing. Later I found them on it again so the punishment was increased to no computer for the rest of the week (which is much more of a punishment for me.) It wasn't much of a problem for Alexa since she was going back to school the next day. For Maya and me it would be torture since she would be home alone while the girls were at school. The next morning I was in the office and she came in to talk to me. She said, "Mommy, if you let me play on the computer, I'll give you these." She held up 3 of her coins. I don't know where she got that idea but I quickly explained that I can't be bought and she shouldn't bribe people to get her way. I don't know where she comes up with this stuff but I'm impressed with her ability to think for herself and problem solve. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

HA HA HA that is funny! I think it must be a 3rd child syndrome. Reece has it too! He can manipulate like the best of them. It's funny for a second and then scary after that! I just think they are going to be geniuses. Hey wait I'm a third child and I'm far from a genius. There goes that theory.
I LOVE that girl!!! That story made me laugh--even after you already told me!
Don't forget to post pics of the house sometime :)
Really? You don't know where she gets that? Have you met your husband, Tim? Just kidding. That is a funny story.
You are so right, Marque. I didn't even think of that. Thanks. I'll have a word with him in the morning. He is so busted. Did you find your dog yet?
Marque is right. Tim is the one that taught her that. He used to put me up to the same types of things when we were kids. I was his henchman whenever he wanted something from our Mom and Dad. That is an awesome story.
Casey! That is awesome! Take the money, though. Nathan told me he'll never let me play with him again if I don't do what he says....no cash for me! Carrie
KC - No we have not yet found Rush. I have been really depressed lately because of it. This is Karma because I used to sort of laugh at those that were that attached to their pets.
STEWY!!!! How are you buddy. I am glad to find you on here. How are things?
