What do you want to be when you grow up?

This conversation happened today, in the car, on or way to my parents house. Jocie seems to be drawn to notice constructions sites. So today as we passed the construction of a bridge near my parents house she couldn't help but notice and pointed it out. I know this is silly, but I think she might want to be an architect when she grows up. So I told her..."When you grow up, you can be an architect and build bridges too!"  She loved the idea. Then I asked Naomi (even though I knew the answer... or part of it)

Mom: "What do you want to be when you grow up"
Naomi: "While my husband stays home with the kids, I will be a cupcake maker. I will go to the bakery and make cupcakes for my customers."
Mom: mom's jaw falls to the ground wide open.....then recovers and tries not to laugh ( I wouldn't want to discourage her from following her dreams)....but eventually did break out a little laugh.....and then said "Ok then! That sounds like a great idea!"

Talk about a strong, independent little mentality! Can somebody tell me where she got this idea from?

A new concept

So I have been thinking.... and came to the conclusion that I am turning this blog into a journal of the little cute, and clever things my kids say everyday. Really, if you think about it, that alone will give me plenty to write. I'll have an infinite source of quotes and conversations that come out of my little ones mouth. Naomi, right now, will be the main source of my blogging. Since she is the oldest, she can talk and express so much more than her little sister right now. The cool thing is than in a few months, as Jocie acquires more and more vocabulary, and imagination,  I know I will have double the material to blog in here. And maybe, just maybe I'll throw in a bonus update of our family every now and then. I think this is pretty much what I have been doing for a while, but now it's official!

Let the blogging begin!
