We asked moms that follow @smallfri on twitter, to tell us the funny things they’ve heard their children say today:
@smallfri My 5 year old’s aquatic frog died this morning. Went to get a new one. He named it “Replacement”.
@smallfri when he saw the lilac tree blooming in the yard he said “that’s amazing”!

Sometimes it can feel like you spend half your time at home wiping, washing, scrubbing, bathing, dusting, sweeping… all on auto-pilot. If you’ve got active kids in your house, it’s time to put them to work — and play. Here are five simple-but-fun activities that will keep them occupied and keep your home organized.
1. Burst Those Bubbles
Okay, washing the dishes isn’t exactly exciting… or is it? One way to sway the kids into lending a hand is to rev up the fun factor: Make bubbles by mixing together one cup of water, a third of a cup of dish soap and a little bit of light corn syrup. The kids can use this bubbly, soapy concoction to wash their own plates after a meal with more giggles than groans.
