Very-tarian

Evelyn likes to tell people that she is a "very-tarian," so I was surprised the other day when she informed me that she likes meat (to my knowledge she's never even had any).

Ev: I like meat!
Me: Ok, and what kind of meat do you like?
Ev: [after long pause.... thinking]
Mmmm.... what kind of meat are cucumbers?

Cookie monsters

Last night I had told Evelyn she could have a cookie after dinner so when it was time I headed for the cupboard to get it out. Evelyn stopped me and said, "No, no, I'll just get one from over here" and trotted into the piano room, reached under the radiator(!!!), pulled out a cookie and popped it in her mouth!

Of course I looked under there later, retrieved the whole stash of cookies that had been scuttled away, and threw them in the trash. A while after that I overheard Sierra telling Evelyn, "Now you showed Mommy where our hiding place was, so we don't have any more cookies! Why did you do that?"

I gotta watch out for these two!!

Who are you again.....?

When I picked Evelyn up from school yesterday, she was telling me about one of her classmates. "J.'s mom calls him 'Hunny Bunny' because she doesn't know what his name is."

Practicing frenzy

Sierra just practiced 30 minutes on the piano, followed immediately by 45 minutes on the cello--definitely a personal record! Ahhh, the allure of staying up past one's bedtime.....
