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.

Cute Sister...

In the car...

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

Hanging Out At the Beach...

Mama:  Why don't you go in that cave?  It's just your size.
Miss M (3):  No.  There's big crabs and little crabs and they would pinch me.
Mama:  Where?  Oh.  He's just a little crab.  He won't pinch.  You could sit right there!
Miss M:  (Looks...)
Miss M:  No.  There's a kaneecha in there.

(A note of explanation about kaneechas.  Several months ago, we were spending some wonderful time with our uncle, aunt, and cousins.  One evening we were sitting around their campfire (they live in the woods of the Florida Panhandle), and listening to the sounds of the night.  Miss A (5), asked what the sounds were, and Uncle T said something along the lines of "Oh, there's lots out there that can eat you..."  Cousin A (26) said, in a slightly panicked voice, "What's a kaneecha?"  And so our go-to-monster of choice was born:  The Kaneecha.

Slue Foot Sue...

The girls were watching one of my favorite old Disney cartoons yesterday:  Pecos Bill.  Of course, Meara was drawn to the pretty girl...

Miss M:  I love the cowboy girl!  Miss A!  Do you love the cowboy girl!
Miss A:  It's called a cowgirl.
Miss M:  Oh.
