What do you sleep in?

I usually sleep in one of Danny's tshirts, and a pair of pajama pants. Last weekend I bought this sleepshirt at Kohl's.



It's black with small white pin dots in it. I thought it was cute, and beat what I usually slept in. When I was paying, the young girl working there said, "I think this is so cute. I bought it for my mother for Christmas". Great. Maybe it's not so cute. Or maybe I am getting old. Or maybe I AM somebody's mother....

What was he thinking??

Phoebe got this Melissa and Doug magnetic dress up dolls set for Christmas.



(Hers is a tiny bit different with different clothes and girls, but the same type of set.) She loves it and plays with it all the time. Yesterday Owen was messing with it and throwing the dolls around and making them battle or something crazy. This evening Phoebe was playing with the dolls and she was telling me the big story about how he was throwing them around. She was acting all outraged by it. She said "He was throwing them around! He thought they were his guys! What was he thinking???".


And, something odd about Phoebe when she plays with this set. She has trouble putting the shoes on the girls. She often asks me to help her put them on, and sometimes she tries to put them on and she gets them upside down, or on the wrong feet. Strange.

Sweet treat

I've had kind of a rough week. I'm too tired to go into any of it. I just wanted to write something happy. Today I came home from work, and Danny told me the Schwan's truck has stopped by looking for new customers. Mom and Dad used to order ice cream from them years ago. Danny just took a catalog and a number. I was excited they came to our house and was imagining all the yummy food I could get. We were kind of laughing and I said "You didn't get me a treat? You could have bought me a treat!". Phoebe who was quietly sitting at the table said, "Mommy, don't worry. When I grow up, I will go to the store and buy you a treat."





She's the only sweet treat I need!
