English accent

I am often silly with the kids and we have British accent days.  Paige told me the other day, "If I had a British accent, I would never shut up".  Neither would I, Paige.  Neither would I.

1st class

We were going on vacation and about to board the plane.  "We ask that all 1st class passengers board.." was announced.  Abby said loudy, "I bet we aren't 1st class are we?  Are we 2nd class people?  I mean, what are we if we aren't 1st class?"  A number of passengers got a kick out of Abby's observation.

Waste not... Want not.

"Why even bother putting vegetables on my plate mom? I mean, I just want to help you to not waste food because you KNOW I won't eat them.." Abby....My little negotiator.

Making babies

Abby and Paige were telling us the story of how mom and dad dated other people, then they found each other, then they got married... Abby adds to thee story, "Then mom peed out 2 babies..."  The entire family stopped.  Realized, yes.. yes she told us that I peed out babies.  I think wee have a lot to talk about in the coming years.

Eyeglass Appointment

I took Aby to the eye doctor the other day. Paige went with us. As Abby sat in the chair and waited for the doctor to arrive she looked aroun and told me and Paige, "It feels like we are locked in a room with a bunch of medical equipment!" Paige responded quickly. "YOU ARE!"

Like Mother Like Daughter

Paige and I were talking this morning about how she and I get told often how much we look alike. We laughed as we agreed that neither of us see the resemblance. Paige then said, "When people tell me, " You look like your mom", I say, "Is that a compliment or a criticism?"" I couldn't help but burst in laughter.

Fisherman accent

We went to Cedar Point yesterday. Paige said there was a man that pointed to a garder snake in the grass. "He said it in a Fisherman's accent". When asked what exactly a Fisherman's accent was, she responded, " Like those guys that fish on hillbilly handfishing, like they are from the south".

Sisterly love

On the way to daycare Abby told Paige, "don't go saying something that will make me cry today". Paige said, "You know a puppy died today". I almost spit out my coffee with laughter. I mead Paige repeat what she said, and Abby joined us in laughter (Thank goodness!!)

Belly roll!

The three cousins are coming to spend the night tonight and the girls couldn't be moe excited. On our way home from buying things to make ice cream sundsys, Abby told us" I's gonna be a party up in here, with THIS little red doin' the belly roll!" The life of the party.

Rosa Parks

"Ha! Isn't that funny mom? That road is called Rosa Parks Highway just like the lady we learned about on the bus! I wonder if they knew that there is a lady named that!" Paige told this to me as we drove home from school.

Blondie

I just told Abby," you are my favorite redhead in the whole wide world". She told me in reply, "you are my favorite blondie in the world... wait.. I mean, you are my favorite blondie with brownie underneath in the whole wide world". OKKKKKKK!!!

Granny butt

Paige & Abby were putting on their swim suits at a hotel stay the other night. Before they put them on, Paige turned around and said, "look at our granny butt!" Both girls clinched their cheeks tighly together to make dimples. All four of us giggled. Yup.. they looked like granny butts! (Just don't say it looks like mom butt!)

tooth fairy

Abby lost her tooth this week. It broke in half for some reason. Then.. she lost it. So this morning, we told her that we would just pay her $2 for the tooth since the tooth fairy doesn't know to come. She said, "Oh wait.. she and I have a deal though.. It's $3 for the 4th tooth lost! Seriously! She told me that! It was only $2 for the first three, then after that, she wants me to make more!"

Ice Cream headache

We went on vacation last week where Abby and Paige had approximately 15 ice cream cones. As we were walking in the sunshine, Abby got a "brain freeze" from her ice cream. She make a painful noise and told us all that "if you get a brain freeze, just punch yourself in the mouth". That Abby.. always the solver.

TUNA

I bught Tunafish for my lunch this week. Paige saw the can on the counter and said, "PLEASE tell me this is for you. I don't understand how anyone can LIKE that stuff! You are choosing to eat it? Just don't offer it to me".

Christmas Concert

The girls had a singing choir concert in front of the school today. Paige said it went well. Abby said she didn't like it very much. Later I told her I am sad for her that she didn't love to sing in front of everyone. She then told me, "I didn't like it because I kept feeling like I would throw up!" "I think it was me being nervous and I just didn't like that feeling very much". Poor thing. Tomorrow she sings in front of 500 parents!

vegetarian

Abby wants to grow her hair all the way down to her bottom. Paige told me that her friend Angelie's hair is that long. Knowing Angelie, I said that perhaps she doesn't cut her hair for religious regions. Paige told me, "Yea.. you're right.. 'cuz she's a vegetarian".

THANKSGIVNG

Yesterday we had thanksgiving at my house. Three days after the actual day. We were in the car and Abby tells us, "this time of year always makes me think of Grandma Little". Abby was 2 1/2 when Grandma died at the age of 84. She speaks of her ALL th time.

DIVORCE

Divorce coversations must be goin around school and on the gils' minds. Many statements are made that start with, "If you ever get divorced..." Yesterday, Abby tod me, "You are the BEST mom ever.. and you stil will be even if you ever get divorced. I mean, I know you aren't.. but just if." "And if you do, I think I might want to live with Daddy or else I would not get high fives at soccer games. But you would still be the best mom". OK yes.. my heart broke and we had a little talk, Abby and I. The entire conversation still weighs on my mind.

PARTY ANMAL

We were coming home from Thanksgiving dinner when Abby tells me, "Mom, when I am in college, in another state, I might not come home to see you for Thanksgiving, because I will be going to parties until TEN O'CLOCK!" I proceded to tell her, "In college you don't got OUT until 10 o'clock".
