Sprinkler Fun in the Sun! and Who Stinks...

A few pictures from the other night. Who says watering grass is a waste of water? We make it into a fun time!
Also, I have been meaning to put up here a conversation Jenna and I have DAILY. I get out of the shower and of course, there she is. I dry off, put on my face lotion and she asks what it is. I tell her. She seems to not care too much, sometimes she does use some. Then I grab the deodorant. This conversation occurs EVERY DAY:

Jenna: What's that?
Me: It's deodorant.
J: What's it do? Why do you use it?
M: It is to keep you from sweating a lot and from stinking. All adults use it. (Or SHOULD use it!)
J: Why can't I use it?
M: You're too little. (This rarely goes well, yet I say it every day).
J: But why?!
M: You won't need to use it until you get boobies. (That's a good time frame, right? Who knows.) You don't need it. Little girls smell like flowers.
J: Yeah, I'm a flower and Mommy stinks! HAHA

EVERY DAY!

So there you have it. Perplexed by deodorant yet longing to use it. And yeah, by the by, I STINK! :oP

Some days she goes in to how she "can't wait to grow big boobies." We really have our hands full, don't we?!

HAHAHAHA! That Jenna! She's hilarious! BTW, to answer your question, yes, I will more than likely homeschool as she gets older. If not, we'll do private school.

That's so funny! She will one day get a kick out of this story when she looks back and reads this. :)

Hee hee! Whenever Gabrielle sees me put deoderant on she wants to put some on too, so I just put the cap back on & she "uses it." It's so cute! She's never questioned why I use it though. However, Gabrielle does ask me when she can have babies & nurse them!

I love the laughter your chats with Jenna bring to my soul~and Lisa had a great idea! Put the cap on. Or would she buy that?
