"Evie! Stop putting Dora's head in the jelly and licking it off!"
Evie ate a jelly sandwich for lunch today and had her Dora figurine close by. I turned around from cleaning up Eden's mess find Evie dipping Dora's head in the jelly on her sandwich. Ha! I laughed hard on the inside just thinking about how it sounds and looks. These are the little episodes that help push me through days like today. It's cold, dark, and gloomy outside. And I just want to crawl in bed and read a good book! But those days are few and far between at this stage in life. I'm enjoying them while trying to allow God's faithfulness and grace wash completely through me so that I parent these girls with His love.
Awe, Dora's going to need her plastic head bathed tonight! Along with Evs long brunette hair. They both smell like delicious strawberries. But their little sticky bodies will need a wash!

The Decapitated Sippy Cup
Today was one of those days. I woke up and decided I couldn't live in the mundane. So, I dressed the girls as quickly as I could, leaving their shoes off (I put those on after they are buckled into their car seats). I gathered diaper bag things after I had loaded them into the car so I did not waste too much time.
The grocery store was to be our first stop, but I forwent that plan and headed to Panera Bread for chocolate milk and cinnamon crunch bagels. I just couldn't resist! The girls loved the blueberry muffin that I also bought. Between the three of us, we finished off the muffin, bagel, and cream cheese. Oh, and the chocolate milk. It was such a restful breakfast knowing that I wasn't going to be the one cleaning up crumbs and milk puddles off the floor and table. A nice break on this Friday morning.
I loaded the girls back into the van still not wanting to make a grocery run. As I backed out of my parking spot, I felt a clunk clunk. I got out to make sure I had not run over the stroller or something else that I may have forgotten to load. When I leaned out the car door I saw it. It was a sippy cup and it was decapitated. The top was perfectly severed from it's bottom side. A small slit was made in the top where it separated from its mate. I laughed when I saw it, thinking, "thank goodness it was a $2 sippy." But I was also disappointed because I lose or misplace about one sippy per week. I need a line in the budget just for sippy cups!
Anyways, we never made it to the grocery. We went to Peek-A-Boo Playtown and then stopped by Sonic for lunch. I spent more money than I wanted, but some days it's better to get out of the house. I feel refreshed after today's break from the norm.
The girls are sleeping right now. I finished cleaning the house as quickly as I could so that I could sit, relax, read, and blog. I'm so thankful it was just one of those days!

Whada is it?
Lately, Evie asks me all day long, "whada is it, Mommy? Whada is it?"
Today's new phrase was "Oh dear! It's my favorite!" to every toy or book she found. She spent the better part of last week and weekend with her grandparents. That has to be where the "oh dear" has come from.
I love hearing these new phrases come out of her mouth. Tonight she watched a video of her cousins playing in the snow. She just began stating what she likes. While watching the video she said, "I wike Channing. I wike Channing."
And Eden now holds her hand up to her ear and says, "hellwo" like she is answering the phone. I love her imitations! Her sweet personality is blossoming everyday. In light of our first born, Eden is as unique as her big sister!
