So I was wrong. Emma made it worth it.

Emma Quote!

Emma- Guys do ballet too??

Me- Yeah lots of guys do.

Emma- But not daddy. He has a beard. Guys who have beards don't do ballet.

Christmas photos coming soon!

More and more I'm thinking that all the hype leading up to Christmas is more exciting then Christmas day. I'll let you if that proves to be true on the 26th.

Emma Quote- My name is Alexia and my friend did not survive me.

Conversation between Emma and Bopa (grandpa)

Emma- Bopa I just peed my pants a little bit.

Bopa- Okay go tell your mom.

Pause.

Emma- I'd rather take care of it myself.

So here are the Emma Quotes up to about 3 weeks ago. So you my be familiar with most of them. P.S. Fried turkey rocks.

Mom I want to see a little bunny rabbit that likes me.

I want a snake for Christmas cause I'm a little girl!

Oh mom! I should live with animals.

I will handle this myself.

It's not a lap top mom it's a computer. Duh.

If you don't, I will cry until you laugh!

You just made my life broken!

Well that was pretty effective.

It's good to say duh. It's helpful and healthy. (I love that one)

Dad I'm going to scare away your headache. RRRRROOOOOAAAAAAAAARRR!!!!!!

I want some pretend legs to wear on my real legs. That's what people do.

(looking into the toilet tank with the lid off as it flushes) Oh so that's how it works. I see.

(very calmly) You're messing up my life.

Will you keep it safe from the ants?!?!

Nobody cars about me.

I got hurt by the giant peek-o-boo book.


What an awesome kid I have!!!

subtle and hilarious

Please note how Emma has her finger through the lovely young lady's braces rubber band.
And that is why I love my daughter.

EMMaaaaaaaa (she typed that herself)

So Emma has been talking a lot about how she wants imaginary things to be real. She wants to go to a real diamond castle, have a real magic wand, climb a wall like a spider, and my personal favorite, "fly through the air like a fairy with wings". And who wouldn't want all of those things? I know I do. Some of my happiest dreams are when I'm dancing through the air (I don't fly I dance) beautiful and graceful. But what really pisses me off is that not only can I NOT have them myself, I can't give them to her either. The best I can do is give her another pair of cheap wings that will fall apart within a year. Lame. So the two of us will continue to watch classic "take you away from reality" movies like Willow, Labyrinth, Star Wars and The Fifth Element just to name a few. But my preferred way of getting though the day is by repeating to myself what I know to be true. There really is a Stargate, and I am the reincarnated form of the great Jedi master Tes Dar Knok.

My awesomely hot Jedi hubby and extremely cute alligator lady.

So I have this fear of most jewelry, but mainly beads. Blaaaaaa! Just typing about them makes me nervous. Anyway. I put some on my christmas tree. You know the garlandy type stuff. And you know what? They look very nice. Yes, while they were in the container I couldn't really look at them. And yes, I had to put my leg warmers on my hands like gloves and take extremely deep breaths while garnishing the tree with them BUT, on the tree they look very nice. I may even go so far as to say that I like them on the tree. Which is a HUGE deal. Like monumental. So yeah.

Emma Quote! (Said in the most matter of fact tone ever) You're messing up my life.

Emma Quote-Sucks for you dad.

So yes. I've taken up blogging. Nothing special. It will mainly consist of Emma Quotes, the occasional recipe, photos and if you're really lucky, some of my bizarre and possibly intriguing thoughts. So yeah. Follow, don't follow. Whatever floats your boat. However you should know that if you choose not to follow, you will be kicked off of my imaginary island.
