House Call

This afternoon, the girls and I were playing on the swing set and the mosquitos were eating me alive.  I managed to coax the kids inside where we sat on the floor and they dabbed my legs with Benedryl Itch Relief sticks (which I highly recommend).  As Madelyn was taking care of my left leg, I thanked her for taking such good care of me and this is what she said:  "Mommy, I duh beautiful doctor and I gonna sabe you."  It made my heart melt!

 

Strawberry Pickin' and fine art

First off, take a look at this bunny that Emma made at school. She is so proud of it!

A few weeks ago, my friend and I took the kids to pick strawberries. This is something that we did last year and had so much fun. Here are a few of my favorites of the girls. Don't be deceived-Madelyn has quite a few...I was helping her pick the really red ones.

Slacker...

Update coming soon with pictures-things have been busy around here as we've been approaching the end of "school."

More soon, I promise!

Good Times

On Monday night, we were playing with some of the features of our computer, one of which was something called "photo booth."  There were all of these different ways to distort the image, as you can see above.  Emma was sitting on Chad's right thigh, and Madelyn was sitting on his left thigh.  Because Madelyn is smaller than Emma, she was in the lower corner of the picture at first.  After about ten minutes of us laughing at what we looked like, Chad picked Madelyn up so that her face could be distorted.  When she saw herself on the screen she began screaming, "No, no, noooooo!"  She grabbed her nose thinking that it had become 6 inches long.  Well, Chad and I started laughing at how she thought that her face actually looked like the photo on the screen.  She jumped off of his lap and ran to her room sobbing, and of course we were on the floor rolling and crying in laughter at all that had taken place.   

Hopefully we haven't ruined her body image...

Two princesses in the palace

Last night I listened to this conversation between Emma and Madelyn:

E: Maddie, do you have a secret?
M: Do you have a majesty?
E: No, do you want to be the prince?
M: No, the princess.
E: Ok, I'm the princess and you're the prince.

I guess that makes me the evil stepmother, right? I don't think this castle is big enough for the two of them...
