Sh*t Kids Say

3 year old: Do you know about flowers?
5 year old: what do you like better, princesses or beds
what do you like better, flowers or cats, what do you like better windows or beds

6 year old: I just love calling you honey!

6 year old: was I pretty good today?

3 year old: I think (2 year old) is going to be our mom...I don't want (2 year old) to be our mom

I Love Chips and Dip

A thick hardy dip scooped up by an equally hardy corn or pita chip. Perfection.

Chips and Salsa

Chips and Guacamole

Chips and Hummus

Chips and Baba Ghanouj

Chips and French Onion Dip

Chips and Sour Cream Dip

Chips and Melted Cheese

Chips and Tzatziki

Chips and Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Just enough to feel like a treat.
