Me: Sure. What do you want? (Keep in mind, there aren't many choices.The cupboard is pretty bare around here.)
Eli: Can I have a "smooshie"?
Me: What is a "smooshie"?
Eli: You know. Those things that Nena likes with the marshmallows and the chocolate that are all smooshie.
Me: Oh, do you mean a s'mores?
Eli: Yeah! Can I have one?
Of course I let him have one...and I think "smooshie" is a much better name for them anyway. Whoever heard of a s'more? Or a mom that will actually let you have "s'more"? Eli has no idea that these are traditionally made over a campfire because there has always been a burn ban when we've gone camping. He thinks you make them in the microwave. Try it sometime...the marshmallow does this really cool "puff" thing!
After the smooshie incident, I walked back into our bedroom to see this:
Eli saw me notice it (and probably the smoke beginning to come out of my ears) and said defensively, "Mom, I couldn't reach the paper because it was up high!" Luckily, it cleaned up with wet wipes...those things sure are handy!

I LOVE Eli stories! :)
They make my day! Miss you!
Look at that penmanship! Boy his technique is just awesome!!
I miss that boy to pieces!
Yes, I can't help but notice that his name did look pretty good:)
I think the door is a perfectly acceptable alternative to paper! Wipies are the best invention ever. They are good for everything. If you ever spill someting on your shirt or pants, reach for a wipie. Have you ever tried the "smooshies" in the oven? Put one graham cracker, chocolate, then your marshmallow on a cookie sheet and set it under the broiler. Stand by, it doesn't take long. The marshies brown and get that really good crisp outside. It's great!! We do it all the time!
I think Eli has been doing some practing. He is doing a great job!!! Gotta love him.

Aren't kids so fun?! We have to check our child before we go to bed to make sure she still has clothes and a diaper on! What will they do next?!
Wow! Eli is very good at writing his name. It seems to be just a little problem-location.
