No, I don't want to talk about politics.

This is just cracking me up. This guy has way too much time on his hands and is an incredible video editor!

Overheard from the other room...

Mara: Emily, you have the best farts!

I am still laughing! Guess I'll be getting a note from her teacher at school about inappropriate 'potty' talk.

Daddy's Stinky!

Another post about the baby cows down the street.....

This afternoon the babies were right up close to the fence for us to "awww" over.

Me: Emmy, look at the sweet baby cows.
Emily: Awwww, they're cute.......and stinky!
Me: Yep, they stink.
Emily: Just like Daddy!
Me: (laughing)

Honey, I guess I need to get you some cologne or some new deodorant for Valentine's Day!

Upon further questioning, I discovered that Emily was talking about the baby cow's daddy that was stinky...but I got a good laugh anyway!

Welcome Google Searchers **Updated**

*Update*
To see what search engine searches bring people to your site you can use several things. Sitemeter will tell you only the clicks under the referral tab. Google Analytics is pretty good too, but my favorite is the Google Webmaster tools. Oh, and all of these tools are free.

Here are just a few crazy google searches that brought people to the Three-Girl Circus....

"girl with worms in mouth"
Hmmmm, I think I've had a few boogers in the mouth but not sure about worms.

"happy birthday happy birthday baby oh i love you so"
I do believe that that is the longest Google search I've ever seen.

"inside of nose hurts"
I think I talk about nose picking and boogers too much.

"what do circus animals eat"
Ha, I'm not sure, but my animals like pizza, hot dogs, spaghetti, pb&j, etc.

"phil scar"
Phillip will get a kick out of this one...remember his revolutionary no scar surgery technique?

"girl picking nose"
Yep, I do talk about nose picking and boogers too much!

Must Enunciate

We had spaghetti last night for supper. The girls like to have garlic toast with it (toast with butter and garlic salt), so the container of garlic salt was on the table. The following disturbing conversation took place...

Emily: What's that?
Me: What's what?
Emily: What's that? (pointing at the garlic salt)
Me: That's garlic salt.
Emily: (with a very confused look on her face) Girlie parts?
Me: Ummm, no...GARLIC. SALT.

I will be working on my e. nun. ci. ation. from now on!

Why do we buy them toys?

All I really need to buy is just more toilet paper!This was a full roll, but now it looks like this....
...and she had SO much fun!

Flushing a dead spider.....

down the toilet...
when two little girls...
who are afraid of spiders...
have to sit...
on said toilet...
is not a good idea!
Live and learn!

I'm like this sometimes with brownies.

Oooo, and I'm definitely like this with Starbuck's pumpkin muffins!

Wordless Wednesday #13

"What are you looking at?
Haven't you ever seen a princess scuba diver before?"

It's all about the accessories!

For more Wordless Wednesday, go here.

All I have to say is.....

Bless her heart!

I know it's an ebay auction, but you've got to read this!

I don't believe that I've ever laughed so hard reading an ebay auction. Go read this. No really, go now. Oh wait...you'd better go potty first!

Becca's been talking to Pavlov.

When you tell Becca no, she gives you the most pitiful little look you've ever seen. She was getting into one of the kitchen cabinets this afternoon while I was fixing lunch. I would tell her no, then she'd look at me with her lip out as far as it would go and give me the saddest little whine.

I decided to get my camera to catch the cutest little pitiful face. The problem is I'm not sure if I'll ever get that face. Turns out whenever she sees the little red light from the auto-focus on my camera, she smiles. She would be fussing one second, the little light comes on , and she's saying cheese the next second.

Check out the pictures below. I tried to get a picture of her pout nine times, and nine times I got this....

Follow the Cracker

Becca has been really getting around this week. She's got this crawling thing down.

The other day I had put her down in the living room and then when to finish folding a load of laundry. I came back two minutes later and she wasn't in the living room anymore. Mara and Emily were in the playroom watching Veggie Tales and eating graham crackers. I found Becca in the playroom watching Veggie Tales with them. That was a long way to crawl without encouragement so I asked Mara....

Me: Mara, did Becca crawl in here?
Mara: Yep.
Me: Did you help her?
Mara: No, she just followed the cracker.
Me: What?
Mara: She just followed the cracker. (If she were 13 she would have added a 'duh')
Me: What?
Mara: SHE JUST FOLLOWED THE CRACKER.
Me: What do you mean, she just followed the cracker?
Mara: Just like this.....(holding her graham cracker in front of Becca.)

Becca followed her all over the playroom chasing the cracker. Guess we know how to get her walking now.

Sooooo Tired!

Becca Sue was falling asleep at lunch the other day. Being the awesome mom that I am...instead of laying her in her bed, I grabbed the camera! She's too sweet.

Big One

So I've been posting several stories of the cute things that Mara says. Today Emily has a great one. I was just sitting in the bathroom with her waiting for her to finish #2.

Oh by the way, potty training is going tons better since this post.

So any way back to the story... She had just had a little #2 success and I was clapping for her when she said, "Wait Momma, wait, here comes a big one! Watch!"

Well, sure enough a big one came and I was laughing hysterically while praising her for being a big girl.

You know you're a mom when you can blog and laugh about poopie!

I'll take some peace and carrots please.

I was fixing lunch today when Mara came in the kitchen...
Mara: Mom, wha cha doin?
Me: I'm fixing lunch baby girl.
Mara: Wha cha fixin?
Me: Hot dogs and peas. (I know, sounds appetizing!)
Mara: Oh Mom, that's my favoritest song!
Me: What's your favorite song?
Mara: Peas.
Me: Hmmm, I don't think I know a song about peas. Why don't you sing it for me.
Mara: I've got peas like a river. I've got peas like a river. I've got peas like a river in my soul!

Nicodemus' Confusion!

Last night Mara and I ran over to a friend's house to drop off some out-grown baby gear. While we were carrying the stuff to the van, here's how the conversation went....

Mara: Mom, why are we putting Becca's swing and chair in the van?
Me: Because Becca's too big for them now. We're going to let Joseph's babies use them.
Mara: But Mom, Joseph doesn't have a baby.
Me: Joseph has two babies but you haven't seen them yet cause they've been too little.
Mara: Two babies?
Me: Yep, two babies.
Mara: Not one baby?
Me: Nope, Joseph's mommy had two babies in her tummy!
Mara: I didn't know they come in twos!

Too cute, but that's not the funniest part....

Mara: What are the babies' names?
Me: Daniel and Catherine.
Mara: Daniel?
Me: Yep, Daniel.
Mara: Blank stare....(five minutes later) But Mom....
Me: Yes Baby Girl.
Mara: But Daniel is a big boy.
Me: No, we know two boys named Daniel. One is a big boy and the other is Joseph's new little baby brother.
Mara: Blank stare....(five minutes later) But Mom....
Me: Yes Baby Girl.
Mara: How did Daniel get to be a baby when he was a big boy?

I bet I tried to explain it to her for another ten minutes....Sissy's name is Emily but we also have another friend named Emily but they are two different people....Mommy's name is Carrie and Auntie Carey's name is Carey but they are two different people....etc.

You guess it, the response I got from her was...
Mara: Blank stare....(five minutes later) But Mom....

Now I know why Nicodemus was so confused!

One of those days.

Ok, it's just a blog worthy day. Things are happening right and left that are just begging to be blogged about!

Emily (who is still running around with just her panties after taking off her drenched clothes from 'the walk') has just discovered that Becca's pacifier will stick in her belly button. She's also discovered that she likes doing things that make Mamma laugh.

Have I mentioned that I love this job!
