New Tongues & A Lot of Time

Buddy Boy found Mr. Potato heads tongue and was walking around the house like this a week or two ago. Of course it was so funny the girls had to try it too. It was good entertainment for about 30min.

My parents came and got the kids for us last week. Since then it has been a waiting game for the baby to come. We have had a lot of time on our hands and have enjoyed the quiet. We decided it was time to get the baby dressed and we were wondering what she might look like. Here is what we came up with:

Can't wait for little baby to come soon!

Can I Have the Baby Now?

Asked Buddy Boy if I should have his baby sister today. He shook his head no. Asked if I should have the baby tomorrow, same response. What about next week? No. What about in August? Still no. So now I'm desperate, Can your sister come in Sept? He shook his head yes!

I'm thinking tomorrow would be just fine with me!

MJ Turns 7

My baby girl is now 7 years old. It is hard to believe she's going into 2nd grade too. She is growing up way to fast! She got to open her presents in the morning because her sister did too.

She got: beads set to make necklaces and bracelets, a new dress, church shoes, Cinderella toy, Airheads, baby unicorn pillow pet, a 3 barrel curler, toothbrush holder, chalk, and chalk holders. She also got a movie like Lil did off itunes. MJ is holding her favorite gifts. 

MJ doesn't get fireworks on her birthday but we still try to make it special. She choose McDonalds for dinner (like Lil did), and daddy took them plus two friends to the movies. They say, "Mr. Poppers Puinguins." Here they are all dolled up for the movies. I used MJ's curler and she loves it. 

I shouldn't admit this but MJ didn't get her birthday cake till the next day. While RB had the kids at the movies, Buddy Boy went down for a nap, and so I watched a movie. I should have been baking a cake first though. MJ was okay with it though because she got ice-cream on her birthday and then the cake the next day. She asked for a double strawberry cake. She loves strawberry. I love this picture as you can see Lil trying (thankfully not succeeding) in blowing out MJ's candles. 

I had to include this picture. They are just too funny.

Swim Lessons

We made the girls to swim lessons again this year. Lil of course loved them again. MJ actually enjoyed them and passed her class this year. We were very proud of her. She is becoming braver every day and that is good. 

Here is Lil with her teacher. On this day she was the only one in her group. She doesn't like the water on her face but she loves to kick and swim.

 Here is MJ with her group. Last year she wouldn't even put her face in the water. This year she did everything she was asked and did a great job.

Can't wait to see how they do next year!

Not Going to Make It

Last night Lil had a fruit snack while watching a movie. I walked into the kitchen to have this conversation.
Lil: (very dramatically) Mom, I'm not going to make it.
Me: Your not going to make it where.
Lil: To the garbage. (holding out her fruit snack wrapper to me)

Did I take it, no. I told her she better find a way to make it and throw it away herself. Later I was sitting in the front room talking to RB and she comes out to us.
Lil: Mom, I really just can't make it.
Me: Well if you would have walked the other way to the garbage, than this way to me, you would have walked less steps. So you can make it.

What a drama queen. She cracks me up!
