There is a gun in my pocket

Josh and I found our new favorite restaurant: Chipolte. SO GOOD. Anyway, we decided to take the kids out tonight and as I was buckling Levi into his car seat we ran into a bit of trouble. Apparently, Levi knows how to buckle himself in. Okay, so I did already know that. But I try to buckle him in really quick before he realizes what I am doing, because he is SO slow at buckling the car seat himself.

He caught on this time, and threw a mini-fit about "doing it myself." Not being in the mood, I told him to knock it off or we will just go home.

Immediately he stopped crying and looked at me and said "but we are already home." True. We were in the parking lot.

So then I told him that if he did not knock it off we would just not go out to dinner. He then looked at me and said, in a very calm and matter-to-fact voice. "Mom, I have a gun in my pocket."

Excuse me? Was that a threat? This will be a long 14 years.

Hey, Chipotle is by far one of our favorite places to eat!
I know what you mean about Levi's comment to you. Julia recent phrase lately is: Go, go, go away mom, please!

Just this morning I was thinking about the funny things Khalila has said. I'm going to get a Word document going with them so when Khalila is older she can see all the funny things she said as a kid. You should do the same and add this little story and quote.

That is hilarious Naomi!
Hey, sorry we weren't able to hook up last Friday. I figured it would be a pretty rushed day, and it was!
Thanks for the offer though.
Next time Sam and I are over that way, we will definitely give you a call!
