My little partner in crime

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my daughter? :-P

I've been jonesing for Fiesta Ware for a while. Our every day dishes haven't held up all that well, and as they break, they are fairly expensive to replace, and on top of that, need to be special-ordered. Mitz, Natalie, Oliver and I went shopping yesterday, and we walked past a Fiesta Ware display. One of the colors I want is turquoise, which is Natalie's favorite color. I mentioned to my mom that if I start buying new dishes, Jon is going to kill me.

So today, at lunch, when Natalie left the table, Oliver reached out, grabbed her placemat , dropped a bowl on the floor, and it shattered. I was pissed for about half a second (just in general, not at Oliver), then said "That's OK. I won't replace it. The sooner these all break, the sooner I can get Fiesta Ware", tongue-in-cheek (or was it? *evil grin*) Got the eyeroll and "don't tell them that" from Jon.

Then Natalie pipes up with "Awwwww c'mooooooon Daddy. Don't be mad when Mommy buys new dishes. They are going to be blue, and look really cool".

That's my girl!

And my other girl.... I sent a link to my mom last night to a site that has great prices on Fiesta Ware (she wants to help with my as of yet imaginary collection for holiday gifts). She replied "Does Jon want a place setting for his birthday?". LMAO. I told her of course he would! :-P
