The price of a little peace and quiet
The girls thought that today seemed like a good day to paint themselves green. I did not interfere because we happened to be getting a whole lot of stuff done around the house...cleaned out the garage, laundry room and laid 6 yards of mulch. This was all WELL worth the time it took to bleach their clothes and scrub green paint out of their hair. They actually got along decently all morning playing "school" and making a bus out of laundry baskets and jump ropes.
Here are a few recent NiNi quotes:
"Watermelon makes me pee"
(Raising her eyebrows) "My eyebrows are awake!"
When she is trying to show me something and I absentmindedly respond with "Uh-huh." she will say, "No, TALK mommy!"
NiNi: "Sissy grew in your tummy"
Me: "Yes"
NiNi: "I grew in your tummy"
Me: "No, you grew in someone else's tummy"
NiNi: "In daddy's tummy!"
"You a mean mommy today" (When I don't give her something that she wants)
NiNi and grandma were using a big wooden spoon to make macaroni and cheese which sparked this conversation:
Grandma: "What do we use spoons for?"
NiNi: "For cooking"
Grandma: "Uh-huh. What else can you use them for?"
NiNi: "For stirring"
Grandma: "(Beginning to tease a little) What does mommy use the spoon she keeps in your underwear drawer for?"
NiNi: "For stirring my underwear"

That's awesome!!! They'll remember that one forever!! And, OMG...I've had the "ah-hah" conversation with Lily. She says the same thing: "talk mommy!". LOL!
Pray with us that our travel approval comes this coming week. And for me....I'm a bit scared....after all---a toddler boy is coming home to the mix...and I'm full time now. :)
