Why the Door Is Locked...

This morning, while I was in the, uh, bathroom, two little girls pushed on the door and very belligerently said:
Miss A and Miss M:  "You are NOT supposed to lock this door!"  (Which is true- we have a house rule that little girls are not supposed to lock doors.)
Mama:  "I'm using the bathroom!  I want some privacy."
(Ten fingers start groping under the door.)
Miss M:  "Well, wipe then flush then wash your hands then open this door!"

Questions...

Miss A has some interesting thoughts.
"The older I get, the older you get."
"Why do we have to have volcanoes?"
"What does 'no way' mean?"
"Do sea turtles have to breathe outside air?  How do they float?  How do they go down?"
"What would happen if there were no oceans?"
It keeps me on my toes!

Miss M:  I'm betending I'm a noonicorn pegasus astroying Nightmare Moon.
(Have you all watched the new My Little Ponies cartoons?  They're quite good...)

Out For a Drive...

An example of typical car randomness...

Miss M:  Always kaneechas bite.  I hear a heron up in the sky! 
Miss A:  What's a heron?
Mama:  Uh, it's a big bird.
Miss M:  It's colorful!!!
Miss A:  WHOA WHOA WHOA.  Daddy!  You missed the driveway!

Wildlife Sighting...

Miss M:  You know, in Virginia, I flied on a pegasus.  It was a tiger pegasus.  And then, I saw one, in Guam!

Sister Pictures...

Something about motherhood that came as a complete shock to me is how much I adore dressing my girls in matching clothes...  I never would have believed myself capable of such... cheesiness?  But I am.  Sigh.  Here are the latest matchy matchy pictures.  Grandma made the so cute butterfly dresses.

(This is a Genuine Miss R Utter Baby Meltdown.)

Cute Sister...

In the car...

Mama:  "Is Miss R (1) asleep?"
Miss M (3):  "No, she's awake.  Go to sleep, you hot chick!"
