Heaven Help Me...

Miss A has a "specialest friend", who she has "just a little crush on".  It was- I hate to say it- love at first sight.  She draws him pictures and writes him notes.  I am trembling with fear for the future.  This is him, Master D.

 He and his sisters and Mom came over the other day to play, and he and Miss A quickly cuddled up together on the couch to watch the "Evengers" (The Avengers-a cartoon version).  He's very cute and nice and polite and wonderful.  I'm just not ready for this!

Imaginary Creatures...

Miss M:  Neeeiiigggghhhh.  I am a mermaid fairy riding a sea horse.  But this sea horse has feathers and wings so he can fly out of the water.  Last time he tried that without his wings, he just sank!

Overheard This Morning...

We have begun a new weekend policy- the girls are allowed to wake up at their normal time (indeed, I don't know how I could stop them...), but they are not allowed to come and get me up until 7.  They can play until I've had my time to sleep in.  This morning I heard this.  They were playing with some magnet dress up dolls...

Miss A:  Miss M, your darlings have to go to school, but my darlings don't have to go to school.  Do you know why?
Miss M:  Because your darlings have to go to ballet.
Miss A:  You are right.  My darlings go to ballet every day.  That's how it is.

Happiness...

Yesterday we visited some friends who have lots of dress up clothes, including some high heeled shoes...
Mama:  Did you have fun?
Miss M (3):  They have loooooovely lovely stand up shoes with pink, and glittery...

Tradition!

I am a confirmed, life long raw dough eater and beater licker.  And although it shouldn't, it makes me happy to pass along my vice to my daughters...

Apocalyptic Warning...

Miss A (In the car, while tapping on the windows.):  This little window is my keys for typing.  This big window is my computer.  I am sending a message about the gigantic tsunami with zombies and mummies.  I'm saying "It's a zombie and mummy wave!  AAAHHH!"
