Around town...

Paige has a field trip through school coming up; they are going to a farm for some fall fun. She came running out of school today and said, "Mommy, I have a field trip at school! But where am I going?” I told her she was going to a farm. To which she said, “Why do they call it a field trip if I am not going to a field?” I had no answer.

Luke was busy packing his toys for our trip to Papa’s farm. Paige was doing her usual endless senseless chatter. Luke said, “PAIGE! I can’t think when you are singing and talking like that so PLEASE STOP, I need to concentrate on the project that I am working on PAIGE!” I’m pretty sure Paige wasn’t able to hear him over her singing….

Our babysitter, Angie, tends to forget things when she leave the house at the end of the day.  I'd say 50% of the time she comes back in to grab her keys, coffee cup, glasses, etc...  Today, after Angie left, Paige said, "I wonder what Angie forgetted today?!"  HA HA! 

Paige was sitting on my lap looking at a cartoon bear in some magazine.  She said, "this is a girl bear, I know because she has those things." (as she makes a sweeping gesture around her eye)  She is talking about eye lashes.  To distinguish girls from boys often the girl version, as we all know, will have longer thicker eyelashes.  She said, "That bear is very pretty.  We (meaning the two of us) are not pretty because we are girls but we don't have those things (another sweeping gesture).  At least I now know this about myself!  I'm calling about fake lashes tomorrow....
