You MOCK me!

Driving in the car the other day my 5 year old (OK, she'll be 6 tomorrow) says with longing, "Oh look!" (I'm thinking she sees something really cool like a wild fox) She is pointing at the Rec Center and says, "When will we go back there?" Her father and I assure her we will go there soon (I don't mention that we'll go there when mommy loses 15 lbs and looks cute in a swim suit). As we get closer she says, "Oh look at you Rec Center there just mocking me!"

Seriously, what 6 year old (t minus 7 days) says such a thing?! MOCKING? So we laugh and then ask her what does mocking mean and she says, "It means it is staring at me." Not exactly the correct definition, but I thought she did a nice job of using a big word!

On a completely different note she is one excited jumble over her birthday tomorrow and her Fancy Nancy party this weekend. If anyone has any ideas for what to serve 5 and 6 year olds that is "fancy", won't stain the carpet, doesn't cost an arm and a leg and fits into a finicky eater's diet...please DO TELL!
