• The Lie

  Zoe’s Daily Funny:
  I don’t remember if I posted this story yet or not but when we took our recent trip to Dutch Wonderland we realized that we would have to pay for Zoe this year. So I’m thinking she can probably pull off being a 2yr old. So we were staying at a hotel directly across the street. So saturday morning after breakfast the hubs was pushing Kayden in the stroller while Zoe and I were walking hand-in-hand in front of them…
  
  Me: Hey Zoe?
  Zoe: Huh?
  Me: Zoe today you are going to pretend that you are 2 ok?
  Zoe: Why?
  Me: Because if they find out you’re 3 they’re gonna say “Get outta here. You’re too big.” So you’re 2 today ok?
  Zoe: Ok.
  Me: How old are you?
  Zoe: 2.
  Me: That’s right. So let’s practice. I am not your mommy ok? Pretend I’m a lady that works at Dutch Wonderland. Ok?
  Zoe: Ok.
  Me: Why hello there little girl? Why aren’t you just so cute?
  Zoe: Thank you.
  Me: And I just love your outfit. Your shirt is so cute.
  Zoe: Thank you. My mommy bought it for me.
  Me: And how old are you sweetie?
  Zoe: I’m 2.
  Me: GOOD GIRL ZOE!
  
  I can hear the hubs laughing behind us. So we keep walking…
  
  Me: Ok Zoe. Now pretend I’m a man that works at Dutch Wonderland ok?
  Zoe: Ok.
  Me: Hello there?!
  Zoe: Hi!
  Me: And how are you doing today little girl?
  Zoe: I’m good.
  Me: And my my my don’t you look like such a big girl! How old are you?
  Zoe: I’m 2!
  Me: GOOD ZOE!!!!
  Zoe: Today I’m 2.
  Me: True dat!
  
  I know. We’re horrible parents. Just to save 34 bucks. I am basically teaching her to lie to me later in her teen years. It’s like teaching Osama how to use an AK47 on his enemies and then all of a sudden you’re his enemy. I’ll deal with it later.

  Deal
  I have been eyeing these melamine outdoor plates for a while. You can buy them online for a set of 4. They don’t even sell the large plates online any more and this week there’s a sale at West Elm. So I called our local store in Paramus and they don’t have anymore and told me to call the store in Chelsea since it’s really big and has more inventory. I called. In the store you buy the plates individually. So for the large plates they were originally $6 and I got them for $3.39 each. The smaller bird plates were $5 and I got it for $2.54 each. Sweet! I saved $50.
