    Knowing all of the Spongebob episodes and actually singing "it's the best day ever" song with them.

    For my husband- It would have to be..finding toys in his work boots and bookbag. Gotta send daddy off with a toy, right?

    Paying the extra banking fees at a bank's drive thru ATM. When you have two in car seats $1.50 is worth it. Maybe I should just switch banks.

    We love the hairbrush song! My daughter has gotten to be too much help. The last time we went to the store I had to ask her what toothpaste we use. The one time I went without my kids I spent the whole time distrtacted because my head count was wrong and then I spent a good five minutes staring at the groceries in the cart and wondering why they weren't putting themselves on the checkout counter. I love my kids!

    I'm feeling really sick today and I can't be sick. Moms aren't allowed to be sick and since I'm a single Mom I have no one to help me, that make me want to cry, but I can't cry because I don't want to upset my children.

    :( I know this feeling

    These have made me smile! My recent ones (not down falls, but little quirks that brighten my day) include:

    finding mini pink wellies and toys in the washing machine

    Losing car keys, to find them in toy boxes

    A work phone that is always dead, as little hands like to press the buttons lots!

    And Finding toys stuffed in coat pockets

    Downfalls? Hm. I guess the fact that I can't come home from work and go to sleep if I feel tired. :)

    I would rock that! But singing kid's songs gives you totally away as a parent with a young one. 3 years ago I was singing Wiggles songs.

    I get plenty of practice spackling and painting now...

    Re-decorating every couple of years. I just finishished re-painting my son's room (since he outgrew Thomas the Train a few years ago)

    The other day, I realized Sponge Bob was playing on the TV... and the had kid left for school 2 hours before! (talk about blocking out noise!)

    Finding rocks in the washing machine... or worse, hearing them when the dryer starts.

    Hearing crickets... tearing the living room apart to find and kill the cricket... only to find out my son had been playing on my iphone and left a game on (thus the cricket sounds)

    Ground in candy on the carpet (mommy, this is hard... let me get the scissors... NOOOOO!)

    The way they can mis-interpret information.... "and that's how Jesus became one of the living dead."
