Fiesta Is Besta!!

FIESTA is BESTA!

This is my current collection of Fiesta dishes.. They are my favorite. I love the bright colors and whenever I look at them they make me feel so cheerfull. My goal is to get enough plates so that everyone could eat off of them when we have a party. I need at least 15 more, currently I have about 17. My favorite dish is the deviled egg plate pictured below in red, I have the green one and it is better. I also love the yellow butter dish that James got me at a yard sale for $1.00. To give u an idea of how much these dishes cost, u can get a dinner plate, mug, saucer, and bowl for about $50.00 unless u are a savy shopper and find them on extreme clearence, which is the only way to buy these. If u find them in a thrift shop thats even better!!!! I hope these make u feel as happy as they make me!!!! I love u Fiesta!!!

Fiesta® Dinnerware was designed by Frederick Hurten Rhead in 1936 and is now among the most collected china products in the world. As originally designed, the line featured art deco styling and bold, bright colors. The product was discontinued in 1973 and reissued in 1986 withnew contemporary colors to mark its 50th anniversary. Fiesta® Dinnerware’s styling complements a wide range of decors.The fifteen bold colors complement one another as well as a wide rangeof interior palettes. Over 50 items in the line provide maximum service options and ensure consistent tabletop styling. The plate’s coupe shape allows maximum food plating surface; sculpted concentric rings highlight and frame the food presentation. Alpha Alumina added to the body enhances durability and provides superior heat retention.

Things Aleah says

The kids got to the $1.00 store for doing all of their chores. It took forever and of course they wanted everything. Aleah was in the candy isle and her head was just spinning with everything she saw. I told her to make her choice because we were leaving in 5 min. This was her response...

"There is so much yumy sweetness, I just cant decide"!!!
__________________________

We were walking to the library on Monday and the smell of summer was in the air. People were watering their grass and we could see a lawn mower being run. As we walked the kids in from started to slow down and make faces, when I heard one child say wow it stinks. Of course Aleah pipes up and says "Yuck it smells like Zebra Poo". I said "How do u know its Zebra and not a dog or cat"? And she promptly told me that she knew the difference between Zebra poo and dog Poo. Go figure....
--------------------------------------

Sunday after church our girls needed to clean up a clothes mess in the basement. Leah and Lexi share a room and so Lexi told Aleah that she needed to clean up her clothes and pick up her side of the room. Aleah proceded to hold up her hand and say "Talk to the hand because I have a headache." She got in trouble from her dad but when he had her come and tell me what she did, I had to hide my reaction, because I started to laugh really hard. It wouldnt have been funny if she had done it to me but hearing about it second hand was hilarious.
--------------------------------------

Sunday morning we woke up and were getting ready for church. I was doing the girls hair in the bathroom and Aleah walks in. She was standing by the door with her Sunday dress on and Said "Mom look my bum us dancing"! I said I cant see it. So she preceeds to lift up her dress and show me that she is clenching and unclenching her bum. I laughed and told her to go show her dad. She came into our bedroom and showed him what she showed me and then told him that "no one else knows how to do this".
-------------------------------------

We went to the store and Aleah raced to touch the van first. Then she touched the car next to ours and said she "Won" cause she touched both cars first. I told her that we cant touch other peoples cars becuase sometimes they might have an alarm on them. She said "oh, then we will go to jail". This sparked a conversation about jail and what u are allowed to do there. Here is the list.....
1. No eating
2. No drinking and if u do its from the toilet.
3. Only Sleeping is allowed
4. No talking
5. Clothes are only black and white
6. No going outside
7. No TV

I dont think she will touch other peoples cars again.
-----------------------------------------

So we went to see Narnia the other day and on the way home the girls were commenting on how hot it was in the car. Then commenting on how hot it was outside. Anni said "Oh man I am sweating!" Aleah said " am not sure if I am hot, let me check" She put her hand in her armpit and said "Yup its wet, so I must be hot too!
----------------------------------------
We are driving on the freeway at like 75 MPH and Aleah says this to me... "Mom when I say duck u have stop so that we can look at them."
I said I cant I am going way to fast. And she said "Well U could if u wanted to."
-----------------------------------------
Today in the car Aleah told me that she was going to die soon. I asked how she knew this and she told me that she sometimes has trouble "breezing" and so she would die if she couldnt fix it. I said u mean breathing? And she said yea mom that is what I said wernt u listening? (on a side note she always asks me when she is gonna die and I always tell her never)
---------------------------------------

I told Aleah Why cant u try and stay on task? She said I dont know mom, I am just a "DoDo" brain. (In our family it is a term of endearment, u know like the bird?). Then she asked me "Mom why did Heavenly Father make me a DoDo brain?"

-----------------------------------------
I was getting ready to change my sweat pants for Jeans and Aleah was in the room. She saw me getting ready to do this and this is what she said:
"Oh I better leave the room" (she walked into the hallway and put her face in the corner)
"Why do u need to leave the room?"
"Because Mom If I see your private its not private any more".
"Ok, who told u this?"
"Anni did"
"Well Anni is sure smart huh?"
"Yup thats why I listen to her".
(On a side note I thought she left the room because Jason pinched my bum and she didnt want to see us doing that)
-----------------------------------------
What she said when I asked her a question the other day..
"Wait mom the awnser is in my brain I just have to find it".

-----------------------------------------
Today Aleah was all about magic. She was doing the coin trick only she was doing it with this piece of fuzzy string. She did it to me and the string disapeared and magically apeared from inside my ear. She was so excited to do it for Jason that she had to show him when we picked him up for work. He was sitting in the passenger side and I was driving. Aleah was sitting right behind him in the van. So he watched her move the string from hand to hand and then it disapeared! We were impressed, he asked her where did it go? She said "Um, Dad give me your head". He said " I can't give u my head". She said then I can't show u what happened to the string. When we got out she pretented that it was in his ear.
-----------------------------------------
An overheard conversation between Aleah and Lexi...

I am not sure what Aleah was doing but she dropped something and said "Oh hairy pickles!"
Lexi heard her say this and said "Aleah thats bad we dont say that."
I said "Lexi why is that a bad word?"
She said in a face that was beet red.... "Mom that is what boys have."
I laughed and said where did u hear that? She said "from the kids at school, that is what they call it."
I said "oh, well ok.....then lets not say that anymore and stop listening to kids at school."
