Cloth Malfunction

I have no idea what got into the cats this morning, but both were walking around the house meowing like crazy. Sikozu wanted into the basement. The kids know the routine and before i could say anything, they both told him "no bayben YouYou". Then when he wouldn't stop meowing, one of them yelled out "no diedie YouYou", as in no candy. The other picked up on it and all day when the cats meowed, the kids told them "no diedie". This should tell you how often the kids whine for candy and are told "no candy".

The girls were playing this afternoon and I see Arya grab Eiley's hand and drag her upstairs. I heard their bedroom door shut and then Arya yelled from the hall "you go bed right now Eiley" and a few seconds later "time bed you Eiley".

Scissor Teeth

Arya and Eiley have been diapering everything lately. I think they're getting ready for their baby sister.

I have to admit that I'm typing this a few days after I took this picture. I can't remember what I was cooking, but I know that both girls were so interested in it.

Arya found a bag of suckers today. She was determined to get it open, even though I told her I wasn't opening it. She kept looking for scissors and when she couldn't find them, she resorted to using her teeth.

This is a typical dinner cooking hour around here. I cook while the girls fight at my legs, screaming and pushing each other. Things should get really interesting when we add baby #3 to the mix if she experiences the same witching hour time Arya and Eiley did/do.

Pant Hike

The girls' imagination has gone wild recently. They are so adorable to watch when they are pretending. Their newest thing is to eat things. They will grab food out of a book and feed it to themselves, each other, us, their stuffed animals.

I love Arya's shirt, but am not a fan of how high her pants are hiked up right now.

Beautiful

While Arya was busy being super cranky tonight, Eiley was busy being very goofy. I love this picture of her.

Pant Malfunction

Now that the kids aren't wearing diapers, they have a lot more pant malfunctions.

New Backpacks

My sister called this morning. In the few minutes I talked to her, Eiley helped herself to a bag of shredded cheese.

The girls and I went out today and they found some backpack rollerbags they really wanted. Normally I'm really careful about our spending and wouldn't just buy these, but they were so cute that I couldn't resist. Eiley pulled her bag until she saw Arya pushing it like a stroller and then both pushed them. They helped pack some stuff in it once we got home and are so excited to bring their bags on an overnight trip this weekend. I included both pics of the girls to show how Arya refuses to give a real smile once the camera comes out.

Musical Toothbrush

Today was a hard day. Arya was screaming at me most of the day. She even fell asleep mid yell while I was cleaning my shower. She was unhappy no matter what I did. I thought maybe she had an ear ache, but when I asked if her ears hurt she said "no." She wasn't any happier after her nap than she was before. She finally changed and was in a good mood around 5:00, right around the time Eiley decided she'd pick up the cranky roll for the day.

We'll see how often Cork reads this blog by how fast he mentions this post. I completely forgot to tell him that I found Eiley using his toothbrush today.
