Here are some random pix and stories!  First, some toddler talk....

Here's a breakfast conversation:

Makayla:  Lydia's teeth are poking her....

Me:  Yes, that's called teething

Makayla:  No it isn't!  That's when someone won't share their toy!!

Me (after some thought):  No, that's teasing, not teething.  Lydia is teething because her new teeth are poking through her gums!

Lydia:  Mmmmmm!  Gum!!

We were at the mall a few weekends ago and Makayla was gawking around and not watching where she was going.

Me:  Makayla, watch where you are going!  You're going to run into that pole!

Makayla...stops, looks at the column very closely, then asks in a wondering voice:  Is this where Santa lives?!

Here's a dinner conversation:

Makayla says to Lydia:  Will you be my best friend?

Lydia:  No.

Makayla (in an astonished voice):  But I'm your big sister!!!

A few other things to make you chuckle...

Makayla was "helping" me fold laundry.  All of the sudden she ran off with a few things, including my underwear.  She came back and had a mischievous look on her face and said:  "I

am sneaky! I hid the clean laundry!"  Hmm...not sure where she "hid" my underwear, but hopefully I find it before someone else does!  LOL!!

One Sunday afternoon I painted the girls' fingernails and toenails. Monday morning I said to Lydia, "where did you get such beautiful toes?"  She just looked at me like I was crazy and she said, "You painted them yesterday!"

Lydia's vocabulary has exploded lately!  She can easily string 5-6 word sentences together.  She is usually pretty clear with her words and she gets mad if we can't understand what she's trying to tell us.

Makayla has gotten rather bossy and sassy and likes to "mother" Lydia.  Lydia typically does not enjoy this!  However, the girls do play together nicely more and more often!

Now the pix!

Here are the girls snuggling in our bed watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse before bed!  One of the moments that they were snuggling so nicely next to each other!

Here are my 2 princesses after bath time!  :)

Nap time!  :)

I went to the Packer's last game of the season...against the Giants!  The girls had to wear their packer shirts too!

Here we are making cupcakes for Chad's birthday!  He got pink cupcakes!  ;)
