She is eating carrots???

A couple weeks ago we received this picture of Vivian in our Family Folder at school. I couldn't believe it . . . She's eating carrots??!! It is good to know that she is getting vitamin A and beta-carotene someplace because she certainly isn't getting them at home. We try to get her to eat vegetables all the time, but she nearly gags at the sight of them. I chalk it up to school peer pressure . . .

We have a little fibbing problem . . .

Over the past weekend we noticed that Viv started fibbing a lot. The fibs are harmless, but we definitely want to teach her to tell the truth. Sometimes it's really hard not to laugh because she comes up with some good ones:

• Fib #1. Tonight she was talking to Grandma Becky on the phone and I heard Viv tell her that she was home by herself. She explained that I was still at work and Justin was grocery shopping. Truth: Viv and I were sitting at the dining room table together and Justin was at a basketball game.
  
• Fib #2. On Saturday Viv was helping me with the laundry and I asked her to put the sheets in the washer. She came running to me (crying) and said that daddy took the sheets from her and put them in the washer wrong. Truth: Justin was in the family room watching TV and had no idea what Viv was talking about.
  
• Fib #3. I was taking Viv to school and all of a sudden she screams from the backseat that Hazel bit her. Truth: Hazel is her doll and she wasn't even in the car with us.
  
• Fib #4 Viv helped me make lasagna for dinner tonight. As I was cleaning up she said, "I didn't take a picture of your money maker." Truth . . . .

Is it summer yet???

She watches way too much General Hospital . . .

Jenny

Me: (sitting at the dining room table): Justin, what century are we in?
Justin (getting Viv ready for bed): Jenny are you kidding?
Me: No. I can't remember. Like . . . 23rd or 21st.
Justin: Jenny . . .
Me: What?
Justin to Viv: Being pretty has let her get away with this stuff for years!

Wii Fun

Not only did the Freelands join the 21st century by creating a family blog, but we also bought a Wii. We all have been having so much fun with it. I love the Wii Fit. Viv has her own Wii Fit Balance Board too . . . The bathroom scale! She is totally duped.

Dude, Where's my husband?

Justin has away games Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It will be a huge upset if his team wins on Friday against Chippewa Hills. Keep your fingers crossed.
