Chinchiladas

The Chinchilla is a rabbit-sized rodent native to the Andes Mountains in South America which is often talked about in the popular children's cartoon "Go, Diego, Go."

Chicken Enchiladas can often be found on our dinner table and are made from chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, diced green chilis, olives, cheese and tortillas.

What do you get when you have chicken enchiladas after the children have scene an episode of "Go, Diego, Go" ? Chinchiladas. My kids have been calling them chinchiladas for months now. I'm not sure they will ever be called by their correct name again. What is so funny is that they aren't trying to be funny. They really think that is what they are called! They also have no idea how they came up with it. . . it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, just a Mom who is paying attention.

Britton's "hillbilly" tooth finally came out. Having one surviving front tooth sticking out in the middle had me calling him Billy Bob. Britton laughed every time I said it. My favorite feature was that it seemed to be pointing in a different direction every day as the permanent tooth was moving it around a bit. Well, it came out and the permanent tooth can already be seen coming in to take its place. No time wasted there! The tooth fairies failed to properly communicate with each other last night and they both visited only to find out they both had visited when Britton came in the next morning with twice as much money. Oops. Some day we will get it right.

Britton was practicing his reading tonight and had me laughing whenever he tried to sound out the word "shut". Let me just say it didn't always come out as the word "shut", but I'm sure you can imagine how it came out! My kids aren't acquainted with the swear words yet so he had absolutely no idea that what he was saying was considered a very bad word. I just quickly corrected him and he went on. Sure made for an interesting reading session.

P.S. No, we don't actually have a chinchilla. I got the picture off of Wikipedia. The chicken enchiladas are real, however. We had them for dinner tonight. Yummy.
