Conversations with Payton

Payton has always been a talker, but it is amazing some of the things that she will tell me. Here are just a few examples:

Driving home one day talking about costumes. I asked Payton what she wanted to be this year for Halloween. I threw out some suggestions. One of them was a mermaid.

Payton: Mom -- ma. I can't be a mermaid. How would I walk? I would have a fin. I guess I could hop, but then I would need water too.


Early Saturday morning. I put on the Sprout channel. They were doing their morning show. The host was talking about the morning craft.

Payton: Momma, will help my make the crap? I don't know if she misheard or knew my crafting abilities.

Driving home one evening talking about how we should go home and watch the Oscar's and see all the pretty dresses.

Payton: Oscar doesn't wear a dress. That would be silly. Oscar cuts our grass and wears pants. Why would Oscar be on TV? I know there are many others, but right now I can't think of any.


In other news, I am officially staying home for the rest of the summer The San Antonio trip was successful, and I got to see my good friend Ashley and her lovely trio. (and her hubs too) I really don't know how Ashley does it with three kiddos, but she has everything under control. I will also say, her crew is so well mannered. Payton loved playing with them and all the kids had a blast swimming and going down the water slide. Payton is also sporting a nice tan. Is it wrong to be jealous of my three year old for her tan lines? I promise I coat her in sunscreen, but she still manages this perfect golden hue. Also, at what age do your freckles turn into age spots? I am sporting some serious freckle action right now. I remember when I was little it was cute. I was the brown haired, freckle faced kid. Now the freckles aren't really looking that cute.



Payton is all ham these days.  I'll leave you with some of her silly faces.
