$2.99 Whole Album Downloads

I am mostly done with the bargains, but I can't resist a chance to fill up my cloud with cheap music.  There are a TON of $2.99 albums available on Amazon right now.  This started Monday, so I'm not sure how much longer the deal will last.

There are greatest hits from our favorites and a lot of new(er) releases.  Just a few of my favorites here, but hit the link for the full list.


Kid Convos

They are 8 and 5 for these exchanges.  Just typical of their interactions, one fights with her words, the other with her fists.

The younger one has the sharing bag, and is looking for something to put in it that starts with the letter N.

BG: You could bring in a nuisance.
LG: I don't HAVE a nuisance!
BG: Will you fit in the bag?

(punching)

LG (eating carrots): I'm serious!  It's yogurt, it's orange, and you eat it with your hands.
BG: Did you know that eating orange yogurt with your hands is a sign of low intelligence?  Besides, it shouldn't crunch like that.
LG: It's frozen yogurt!

Are They Knockin' Your Socks Off?

My 9 year old has always been very serious and had a vocabulary beyond her years.  She picks up phrases from all around her, and it was a constant source of amusement when she was little.  This is her watching Americas' Got Talent.  I think she was just turned five at the time.


Big girl:  What on EARF?  (it was a sort of Bollywood performance)

and later on: Are they knockin' your socks off? They're knockin' my socks off.

Captured Moments

This would be the little girl at 2 1/2.



Always on the move, and sometimes referred to as "Babyzilla."

The Naughty Pteranodon

I'm sure lots of children have imaginary friends.  My little girl's do all her naughty stuff for her.  This pteranodon used to spend a lot of time in time out, and finally had to stop going out in public with us at all.  The little girl once explained the whole circle of life to a poor woman stuck in the grocery line behind us, and another time he got pretty naughty in Target.

There we were, looking at toilet paper for the best prices.  I was figuring cost per square foot, stacking coupons, and doing all the fancy math required to be a coupon queen, and I wasn't really hearing his dialogue.  As always when he got an audience, the pteranodon chose that time to discuss in detail and with all the potty words he knew what exactly he was going to do with the toilet paper.  As the volume increased, I noticed there was someone else in the aisle with us, looking slightly amused and a little disturbed.



Here he is, after watching the Decorah Eagle cam far too much, tearing up a sheep to feed his babies.
