February made me shiver

. . . with all the quotes that I deliver. So let's get right to them.

Hayden continues her membership in the Church of Capitalism.

She got some more money as a present for Valentine's Day. When she went to add it to her stash, I saw her taking her cash up to her bed. I asked her why and she said:

"In the morning, I'm going to spread my money out and roll around in it."

She's a regular Scrooge McDuck swimming around in piles of gold coins.

Speaking of money, the girls were having some sort of disagreement about something for a change and Hayden suggested that they flip a coin to see who gets to choose.

Hayden went to get a quarter and, as she tossed it in the air, she called out "I've got heads!"

And Marley instantly yelled, "I've got toes!"

Hayden and I were lying down at bedtime and we had the following conversation:

Daddy: "Does your friend Liana go to Hebrew School?"

Hayden: "Yes."

Daddy: "I kind of screwed up by not signing you up for Hebrew School this year. You know, it's a very important part of our family and who we are."

Hayden: "What is? Screwing things up?"

The first thing we're going to make sure that she learns in Hebrew School is "Honor thy Mother and Father."

Hayden threw up twice in class this week so Beth went to pick her up and then worked from home.

At one point a bit later, Marley walked into our room and told Beth "Mommy, I just wanted to tell you that I will help Hayden tonight."

So sweet.

Hayden and I were hanging out and she looked up at me and said:

"Daddy, you're the funniest person I have ever met."

Not much of a quote, but I wanted to record it for posterity because it won't be long before Hayden will be a preteen who insists her parents maintain a 15 foot buffer from her in all public and private settings. Then I'll shove this in her face.

Finally, we won tickets to a fashion show at Hayden's school auction (third row!) so Beth and Hayden went a few days ago, with Hayden wearing a fashionable white faux-fur vest and her hair styled too.

When they got home, we made the following video.
