Noah: Would you just stay with me?
Allie: Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we’re already fighting.
Noah: Well, that’s what we do. We fight. You tell me when I’m being an arrogant son of a b—- and I tell you when you’re being a pain in the a–. Which you are 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. They have like a two second rebound rate and you’re back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Allie: So, what?
Noah: So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s gonna be really hard. And we’re gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that, because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day.

I found these awesome melamine dishes last month and was so excited that I grabbed them immediately!

I’ve since discovered that Orla Kiely made these exclusively for Target, and only a limited amount, so they’re not only incredibly adorably patterned, they are also fairly rare. The best news is, because they are melamine, they will (hopefully) be able to withstand my kids’, er, roughness with their dishes, plus it’ll be cool to ask James to set the table without cringing as he’s carrying the plates from the kitchen cabinets to the dining table.

The bad of these is that melamine is not microwavable. Big bummer for those quick meals, which almost made me turn to Corelle, but I mean… how could I absolutely ignore these great designs!!
