Mangy Birds

V: Stop playing on the couch.
E: We're not playing, we're just dancing around.

V: Don't put your dirty little mitts in there. as E reaches into a bag of pretzels with super dirty hands
A: What dirty little mitts?
E: Dese dirty little mitts! Holds her hands up for A to see

We did an art project today involving paint, feathers, glue and scissors. That plus two toddlers and breastfeeding makes for one huge mess in the kitchen and a finished product that looks like mangy birds. My kitchen looked like someone had plucked neon chickens in a glue factory.

Eiley dressed herself today. We were already at the zoo before I realized she wasn't wearing any un.der.wea.r. Tonight, Arya didn't make it to the bathroom in time and leaked a little. I didn't know that until she was tossing her unde.rwe.ar around the family room, told me they were wet and then told me to touch them. I sent the girls upstairs to get new un.de.rwear before bed. Arya came back down with those, socks, a Tinkerbell dress and a fairy wand. She announced "My got everything I need."

I love the big smiles we're getting.
