But Whyyyyyy?

I was well warned about the incessant questions stage of a preschooler's development. I also saw parents roll their eyes when talking about their own kids reaching that annoying little milestone. I knew about it, I expected it, but I always just shrugged it off and looked forward to answering my inquisitive little genius' questions.

I underestimated the stage greatly.

Gracie's questions have been going on for sometime now, but lately they have been fired fast and furiously. I was prepared for questions like, "Why is the sky blue," or "Why is the grass green?" But instead, Gracie leans more toward the ridiculous.

"Is that a girl? Is she a tink? Whats a tink? Is that boy a tink?"

-or-

"What time is is? Is it forty-thirty o'clock? Is it nuffernatter o'clock? Whats nuffernatter? Does that mean its bedtime? Is is bed time o'clock?

-or-

"Is that the color orange? Whats orange? Orange starts with G. Does orange start with G? Is orange a tink? Is it orange nuffernatter o'clock?"

And it goes on and on and on, all day and all night. So far, Gracie doesn't understand the rules to the "No Questions" game.

And of course, in perfect Gracie fashion, when my eyes are bugging out of my head and the veins are throbbing in my temple from the insanity of all the questions, she chooses to ask, "Do you love me, Mommy?"

Lucky for her, I do. Even with all the questions.

The turkey's in the oven...

flower hair clip by Rosey Posey Bowtique

My mother is a really great cook. Really good. I did not inherit this talent. Oh I've tried, I've really tried. Yet all who've been near agree: I did not inherit this talent. Nonetheless, each year I have grandiose visions of a turkey in the oven while my children are at play, and a family get together like none other. And each year as Thanksgiving approaches, I look around, at my children at play! and think this may not be the year. You know, the year TO LEARN HOW TO COOK ON A MAJOR HOLIDAY! :0 Yes, we've decided to give it another year, to keep practicing with smaller fare, and to cherish the family get together sans my homemade food. We're all be the better for it! HOWEVER, one thing I'm really good at is shopping. Yes, I realize that is surprising but I am really rather good at shopping. And I love to decorate! So, in honor of the turkey I will NOT cook this year, here are a few of my favorite EtsyKids Thanksgiving finds :)

Happy Thanksgiving! And may all your Thanksgiving meal preparations be bright :)
