This morning was the perfect morning.
Early. Recover-ish run.
McD's made me some eggs & the Pita a few sandwiches.
Peanut's requests . . . . waffles [ya, they don't sell those]. She's my girl. How can I refuse? Waffles. done.
Lunches were made. Kisses given.
A n d
what?!
20 minutes to blow before drop-off?!
I knew just what to do.
I grabbed my new favorite cereal.
And. it. was on.
She never saw it coming. food. fight. fabulous.
Little guy was a little scared.
But
this
was
awesome.
You can run --- but hiding is for wimps!
Damaged ammo.
Slightly damaged Peanut.
Conveniently for her, we had to leave before "clean-up". Chuy did help me out with the big scraps [the ones he could find].
Found three in my hair. No. Joke.
The conversation on the way to school went like this [I recorded it on my phone, just have no clue how to upload that]:
Me: So how does 2nd place feel?
Peanut: Oh. Ohhhhh. It is sooooooooooooo ON!
Me: [laugh]
Peanut: How does it feel to come in 2nd?
Me: I wouldn't know. I was in 1st.
Peanut: How does it feel to come in last?
Me: I wouldn't know. All I do is win.
Peanut: You're just a sore winner. And a sore loser. L [places hand to head] on your forehead.
Me: w i n n i n g !
I
love
that
kid.
Happy Tuesday.

no way, first??
darn it, I got beat in the time it took me to read that.
haha, you guys have too much fun! love it!
what a way to start the day!!!!
:)
You are an AMAZING Mom.
I need to remember sometimes how fun it is to just. let. go.
Usually I'm too wrapped up in day to day logistics.
Thanks for the reminder how fun it can be :)
Bobbi. Don't let me fool you. I. Forget. Often.
Thankfully today.....I remembered.
Somebody jumped into the "way back machine" for today's title!
One of my best memories with my mom is a flour fight that she started when we were baking one day. I'm glad to see that peanut is going to have oodles of memories like that to hold on to and cherish :)
You're an awesome runner, but you're an even more incredible mom and that's what really counts!
A food fight. That sounds like awesome fun. I have should have done that with my son. Oh wait, there is still time!
Remind her that you don't win the silver but lose the gold.
FUN!!! Such Great memories we have the opportunity to make with our kids!
Hey Adena... HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LOSE?! hahaha.
Ummmmm yeah, the floor mop dog is allowed in the house, where is my boy MACE???
Peanut - 1
EMZ - 0
LMAO!!! Love, love, love it.
RST. Love that.
MO - hilarious. He got to go on a 2 mile run. Lucky. Freaking. Mase.
Morgan. You. Rock.
I think Charlie Sheen might disagree with you about who is WINNING! Haven't had a good food fight since first grade when i used the spoon as a catapult to launch the green peas across the lunch room!
What??!! 20 minutes early? You clearly aren't suffering from time-change-itis! This week has my family being 30 minutes behind every frickin day!
Love the food fight though! And the dog vacuum. :)
recovery food for mase :p
I admire and love the relationship you have with your daughter! I'm excited to continue to watch my girls grow and change through the years, and to see how we balance the fun and the ups and the downs. Cute...food fight!
that sounds fun. Would definitely add excitement to the morning.
Just finsihed the donation process...will be excited to keep up with your progress.
PS....i am jealous that your AC is on, our heat is on:)
LTlindian- we didn't change time here in AZ!! :)
KC. Peas. I shall go buy some for after dinner entertainment--frozen ones!!!
MO - I just threw him a leftover waffle. Happy now?! ;)
Hannah. Love your comment.
Rane. T H A N K You!!!
Rene. Sorry. I DO know how to spell your name. ;)
OMG- want to be you next door neighbor with all my heart. You are the best mom ever.
haha Sounds like a fun day! :)
winning!
are those chuckies she is wearing ?
love it
GF peanut butter cereal has been my crack. But Im pretty sure tearing thru a box every other day negates any benefit of going GF. c r a c k
LOL!! That was classic!!!
What a hoot! Your house is ALWAYS fun!
speaking of winners:
I mean REAL ones
Go DUKE.
that's all.
U of A...those colors are not good for me but thanks for offering a shirt!!!
love it! I have to go donate!!!!!
that sounds like a way better morning than mine..my cats just don't appreciate me at all.
eeeek you are one cool mom! The awesomeness is a lucky girl. Glad you are all winner Charlie Sheen style. Can't wait to hear about you winning on that treadmill expedition!
Perfect way to start the day!
Panda Puffs! We need to try those! We usually get the Gorilla Munch... but no throwing in the house... we have ant problems :(
You are such a fun mom!
You and Peanut have an AWESOME relationship!! hahahahaha!
I donated--such a small amount, but hoping every bit counts!
Jess. No. Amount. Too. Small. THANK YOU so very, very much!!
You are a winner! In every sense of the word.
you and that little peanut are so cute!
awesome!!! sounds like such a fun start to the day!! :)
Great idea! I think I should plan a food fight and we'll have it in the chicken run. It'll add the extra element of avoiding chicken poop while eliminating any need for a clean-up.
haha! Oh peanut. You guys crack me up!
Happy Tuesday!
LC
p.s.
PANDA PUFFS ROCK!
Will you adopt me? Please.

Yes, happy now. And so is Mase.
This is just chock full of awesomeness. You rock.
I love it! Sounds like a lovely morning. I love when I can just let go and play/mess with my kids and not care about the mess or the aftermath- like playing in the rain and mud. So good.
Happy running,
Elena
just made my donation
it is not a lot but I wanted to support you!
I admire what you will do. a lot.
but still
GO DUKE.
and Go EMZ!
This Peanut seems like a chip of the 'ol block to me. She's a pistol.
That cereal label cracked me up. Talk about appealing to the latest trends....EnviroKids, Organic, Gluten Free.
Peanut will remember that for the rest of her life, and that, I think, is all we want from motherhood. :)
Donated!!
Rock on.
Ron
