Silence Never a Good Sign

So I'm on face book trying to make plans with a friend that I haven't seen since December and there's not a peep coming from either child. Note: silence from kids is NEVER a good sign! I find Madeline with her mattress pulled off of her box springs and she's made a fort with the mattress part. Then I find Grace, sitting on the floor with the dog food container in between her legs and she's eating dog food! Gross, yuk, make me gag!!!!!!

Gampa!

"Gampa!" is one of Gracie's favorite people! I love that I can say "do you want to go see Grandma & Grandpa?" and she lights up and says "yeah!" and goes and gets her shoes! Then when we pull up in the driveway she starts this squeal/scream of excitement!
Madeline "had to call Grandpa" the other day. So she pushes all the right buttons on the phone and waits while it rings and then who answers on the other line? Grandma! She then pulls the phone away from her ear and says "it's just Grandma". She proceeds to talk to 'just Grandma' and then asks for Grandpa! silly girl!

I hooold eww

"I hooold ewww" is all I heard last week from the little on who was attached to my legs. But even then she was cute!

Intruder

At one in the morning there I slept with a little blond intruder in our bedroom saying, "Mommy can I snuggle with you?" How can I say no to that? So she "snuggled" with us until I had my fair share of kicks to the belly & slaps in the face, which came around 4 am and that's when Daddy finally realized she was in bed with us. She was mad b/c I told her she needed to go back to her bed. I know there will be a time when she doesn't want to snuggle with us anymore so I really couldn't say no, now could I!

Madeline Says:

On her way to sleep (actually she was just stalling), Madeline says "I berry much love you Mommy!" and gives me a big hug & kiss....how cute!
Grace is such a crack-up now, while eating a pasta dish for dinner tonight I looked over at her and there was food & spit sliding down her chin and onto her neck. Then I realized what she was doing, she was spitting everything in her mouth out except for the pasta....gross!

My Massage

Grace being one of the sweetest daughters in the world decided to give Mommy a massage yesterday b/c I had a migraine all day and was miserable. Anyways, I was laying on the couch (on my back) and she came over to me with the back-roller massage thing and pulled my shirt up and said, "baby" and pointed to my belly. I said, "yes" and then she proceeded to take the back roller and roll it over my belly. She's so sweet. She's also cutting FOUR teeth right now....not so great!
Madeline is three years old for sure, no doubt...there's something about a three year old that tests your every patience. My friends & mother-in-law always said three was worse than two and I guess you don't believe it until you have a three year old. All I can say is "Is she four yet!" One day at a time...

So Long

It's been ages, I know, since I've written....it's been a little crazy around here! We are officially 12 weeks pregnant! Yesterday, the girls came up to my doctors appointment, by way of Daddy! Madeline was so excited when Dr. Hager asked her if she wanted to help her listen to the baby. Of course she did! So Dr. Hager held her and Madeline held the Doppler on my belly! She loved it!

ABC...AEEEEEUU

Now the new and best thing for the girls to do here at home is to both stand on their "stage with a light" (Madeline calls our fireplace that) and for them both to sing. Any and no song in general but lately Grace has been trying to sing the ABC's but it's more like AEEEEUUUEEE when she sings it. They both get up there and "sing" as loud as they can and it really funny!

Ring-Around-the-What

I was telling Madeline that tomorrow we have to get our tires on the car rotated for our trip, then I explained to her what that meant. And as I was putting her to bed she said, "Will the guys sing 'Ring-Around-the-Rosie' when they move all the tires around?" Too cute.
Grace's personality is really coming out now, well at least when she's mad at her sister for taking something away or not sharing. Yesterday, she wanted something Madeline had and she wasn't getting it and she bent over at the hips and yelled at Madeline right by her head. I had to laugh, it was funny!

Easter!

On Easter morning Madeline jumped in bed with us and we were cuddling and talking about Easter. I asked her why we celebrated Easter and she said, "Because God sent Jesus for us and he hides eggs for us!" She said it very mater-a-factly...too cute~
