Omniscient (or maybe just a good guesser)

I stepped out of the shower recently and as I dried off, I opened the bathroom door. Imogen was standing in the hallway. She stood there for a moment, and eventually the suspense became too much and she asked "What are you doing?"

"Getting dressed," I answered. I'm way to used to obvious questions to be alarmed at this point. There was a pause while she considered this.

"Will you close the door?" she asked. Now, maybe in Imogen's world this question is really smooth and subtle but to me this comes with red flags and alarm bells. Without missing a beat I said "You stole my candy didn't you?" I had milk duds on my dresser left over from going to the theater the night before. Her eyes widened. She stepped into the bathroom and looked in the mirror at her clean face. She looked back up at me.

"How did you know?" she was baffled.

"I'm a mommy," I said. "I know everything.

Today I gave her a poptart. She doesn't like poptarts, though she doesn't realize it yet. I warned her that she needed to eat the whole thing this time and she agreed. She ate about three quarters of it and I could tell she didn't want the rest. She kept carrying it around but she didn't want to say anything about it.

As I cleaned the kitchen, she vanished into the family room for a while. She came back empty handed and said "Look, I ate my whole poptart, all gone! See?" She held up her empty hands proudly.

"You fed it to the dog," I said without hesitation. Her jaw dropped. "How did you know??"

"I'm a mommy. I know everything." I told her.

"You're grounded from poptarts," I told her.

I got a haircut

My hair was getting super boring, and I was tired of it, but I didn't want to chop it all off so I got layers put in. She curled it and it's really pretty right now. I'm lazy so I probably won't be curling it on a daily basis, but hey. I love haircuts. My hair feels all healthy and lightweight now.

photo effects

We were playing around with some photo effects and the girls thought these were the funniest thing that ever happened anywhere. They would pose for the picture then laugh maniacally when I took it.
