"Tea Party"

Nicole and Isabel are making a "Tea Party" for Daddy! They made "streamers" using strips of paper glued together to make a chain for decorations. They also made him special pictures and some sort of "special" Apple Pie with the NOT ripe apples that they have found in the "meadow"! Oh and we are going to go pick some really pretty flowers in the "Meadow" to put on the table!!! :-)

We are now making the tea..



More to come...

Cosby Says....

"Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry."

Bill Cosby Says....

"Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made."

Isabel Says...

The things she says - she cracks me up! :-)

This afternoon we went to Wendy's for Lunch. After we sat down and got the girls their food, Isabel says (very Loud and VERY Matter of Fact!) "I got a plain cheeseburger; just cheese and cow." I tried to explain that the other patrons may not want to think about the fact that they were eating Cow, so she should not be SO Loud. She responded with the same statement because that is what she was eating! :-)

I am not sure where she comes up with this stuff!!!!

Isabel Says...

Isabel is a bit "different" sometimes!

Last night, she was laying across the kitchen chair on her back (kind of like the scene in Flashdance when she gets dowsed with water)- hanging upside down, sort of. Bryan asked "Isabel where did you learn to do that?" Isabel without missing a beat said, "In Upside Down Class." She said this as if Bryan had asked a crazy question. Then we asked her about this "Upsidedown Class", and she said that it was "six hours", "at the YMCA", and "Ganny" took her.

We asked her about it again today, and she told the same story (with a few slight changes, but everything else the same.) She REALLY thinks that she has taken this class!
That is "our" Isabel!!! :-)

A Child's Heart

My girls amaze and amuse me everyday!

But something Isabel said last night really caught me off guard.

We were putting the girls to bed. At bedtime the girls say thier prayers. Isabel prayed "God, please take care of Uncle Bub. I love him so much. Amen"

Over the past 3+ yrs, we try to explain that Uncle Bub died and is now in Heaven with God and that is why Mommy gets sad sometimes. We talk about it with them and I really think that they can "understand" it all on a whole other level than adults.
Children are a Wonderful Blessing that goes beyond any words....

Hide - N - Seek

I have done a terrible job of keeping this up to date....I will try harder.

I had to get on here really quick just to log something Isabel said today that was so cute and funny. The girls are playing hide-n-seek and when Isabel counts she is too cute. She counts (really loud) to 10 (or whatever she feels like) and then she says "Here I Not, Ready?" That alone is worth the screaming and running around the house! :)

Here Comes the Ice Cream Truck!

Ok, so Nicole was outside swinging and she heard the Ice Cream Truck. She came running in the house, looking out the front window - no truck. Probably in another part of the neighborhood. I told her that they could get some, so they better get their money ready. Nicole immediately finds hers, but Isabel can't find hers (not that she really looked). Now they are on a REAL mission to find her money. While frantically looking under chairs, in rooms ect, Isabel says "I KNOW WHERE IT IS, IT IS WHERE WE CAN'T FIND IT!!!" She's the "Bright" one :)
They were able to find money and get ice cream - all ended well....

Our Other "Babies"

Munro and Sable are our other babies. I am not sure if they know that they are really dogs???!!!

They are really good for the girls. When the girls play outside in the backyard, they stay back there with them. Normally, they don't like staying outside - they are above sleeping in the dirt!

"Two Peas in a Pod"

That would be Isabel and "Her" Ganny!

It is nice when Ganny is around though - i get away with not doing anything for Isabel - all she wants is GANNY!!!

PS Mom dont kill me for posting this picture! Hehehehe
