Watched with wide believing eyes

And wanted her parents to buy everything advertised...LOL. Lily is why commercials are made. She has started paying attention, and asking for what she sees. I tried to explain to her that no one likes a sucker, she didn't seem to care. I fear this is just the beginning :)

And because it is one of my favorites from when I was a kid....

Clarence
Clarence Lee from Tennessee
Loved the commercials he saw on TV.
He watched with wide believing eyes
And bought everything they advertised --
Cream to make his skin feel better
Spray to make his hair look wetter
Bleach to make his white things whiter
Stylish jeans that fit much tighter.
Toothpaste for his cavities,
Powder for his doggie's fleas,
Purple mouthwash for his breath,
Deodorant to stop his sweat.
He bought each cereal they presented,
Bought each game that they invented.
Then one day he looked and saw
'A brand-new Maw, a better Paw!
New, improved in every way --
Hurry, order yours today!'
So, of course, our little Clarence
Sent off for two brand-new parents.
The new ones cam in the morning mail,
The old ones he sold at a garage sale.
And now they all are doing fine:
His new folks treat him sweet and kind,
His old ones work in an old coal mine.
So if your Maw and Paw are mean,
And make you eat your lima beans
And make you wash and make you wait
And never let you stay up late
And scream and scold and preach and pout,
That simply means they're wearing out.
So send off for two brand-new parents
And you'll be happy as little Clarence.

Nap time was BAD today, the trio went crazy in there. This is what we found when we went to get them up. Lily and Xander trying to look innocent when telling us all about the mess in their room.

Hayden passed out like this, after helping destroy their room. She begged to stay sleeping when we tried to wake her.


Later after dinner all 4 kiddos were playing pretty nicely together. Until the trio decided Jericho was a monster and began running from him screaming and laughing, while he happily crawled after them LOL.

Out on our walk...Xander is getting really lazy. When we make him walk he deliberately gets into trouble so he is forced to ride Jason's shoulders. Clever boy.
