Broken

So, we weren't able to get through childhood with no broken bones. Little chicken got her hand shut in the truck door, and it's broken. She is so "put out" at having to have a pink cast and all. Our little middle girl is doing everything she can come up with to break something, and finally resorted to asking "When they cut your cast off, do you think I could wear it for a few days?"

Let's play Star Wars!

So, this is how little girls that don't have brothers play Star Wars.  They know about Star Wars, sort of, not really, but they know some of the names.  So here is how it went, more or less.

#1 Hey do you guys want to play star wars?

#2 I get to be the girl Yoda

#3 I wanted to be the girl Yoda

#2 You can be my little girl Yoda

#1 ok, and I'll be Princess Leah

#2 Princess Leah, will you tend my little girl Yoda?

#1 Sure, how old is she?

#2 I don't really know because it's hard to tell when she's kind of a monster, but she's probable 3 or something.  She doesn't have her own life saver yet.

#1 I have to go in my spaceship to a party, do you care if she comes?

#2 No, I'm going to girls night out with my friends, so just bring her back when your party is over.

#3 Hey, I don't want to be little, let's say that I'm a Preschool Teacher Yoda, and you guys can bring your pretend kids to me for preschool.

 

Later in the game

#3 Princess Jedi, (in her best British accent) the Dark Lord is here, what do I do??!!??

#2 Just punch him in the face, that's what I always do, and it works pretty well.

and so it goes.  I adore my little girls.

Disneyland 2009

With our dad's crazy work and school schedule, getting time in for a family vacation has been difficult. We finally threw together a whirlwind 3 day Disney trip. It was so fun! Our aunt and uncle came, and a couple of cousins, and we had a great time. It rained every day, and it was cold enough to see your breath, but we were prepared for it, we had the place to ourselves, and we ran like crazy for three days. Here are a few highlights. Not to be too vain or anything, but MY HAIR!!! Do I need to say again, IT RAINED EVERY DAY!!!! Short curly hair and rain are just a bad combination, especially when you only have about 6 peices to work with. Enough said.

Winter Dance Show

Our dance studio does a winter show for the families, at the studio. It's a chance for parents to come and see what we do during class, then we do a Nutcracker dance that we've practiced. Our dad came and took the best photos. Here are the littles classes.

martha's snowman

Tell me that this snowman would not make Martha Stewart proud.  I had nothing to do with making it, I was pulling the kids on the sled, but is totally deserves to be published.  I love white winters.

Let it Snow!

Playing in the snow, and eating it are definitely the top two activities of winter in this house. Today, Ruby came in the house, mostly a snowball, and I was picking chunks of snow off of her fur and tossing it in the sink. My tiniest came in and saw was I was doing and said "Mom! Don't do that! I like to EAT that snow!!!" Oh my. . . that is just about all I can think of to say.

Christmas Dresses

Today the girls got to wear new dresses to church. I am a total nerd about matching, but I love it. As we were getting dressed this morning my oldest came in a said "Mom, these tights are as tall as me!!" Sure enough, she held them up and they went straight to her chin. Who are these people making clothes for? Oh well, they did the job, now, I can have them and I'll buy her some much smaller ones. I so love having girls. I adore my darling daughters.
