Painting Nails...

In Florida, we lived next door to a wonderful girl named Miss L.  She was 10, and loved playing with our little girls.  When we moved here to Guam, Miss A had another friend who shared Miss L's name, so the new friend (5 years old), became Little L, and our Florida friend became Big L.  This morning I was painting Miss A's toe nails, and my work was apparently not quite up to par...
Miss A:  "Big L is a great doer of stripes.  She can do stripes better than anybody."
I just wish Big Miss L could be here to paint toes!  We miss her...

The Mythical Land...

Miss M:  Once, in Virginia, I captured, a Giant Squid!

Am I That Bad???

Miss M, to an imaginary friend:  It's been six years.  Now you can get out of time out.

The Evengers...



My girls are, I guess you would call it, "well-rounded"...  They adore My Little Pony, and mermaids, and fairies, and princesses; but, they also really love super heroes.  Their favorite show right now is a cartoon version of the Avengers, and they watch it at every opportunity.  They have a special dance they do during the opening credits, involving many "X Jumps", where they crouch down then jump up with their arms and legs flung out like an x, and they do all the poses and moves that the Avengers do (usually while wearing, in the case of Miss M at least, multiple tutus).  We have lengthy conversations about all the villains and aliens and heroes.  It's nice.  Nice to have some counterbalance to all the fluffy princess stuff.  Miss M summed up her favorite character this way:
"Captain America lets go of his shield then everyone falls down."
