Not going into any name calling, Jim! Our computer died. Jim has successfully rebuilt a computer that is much better then our last, obvious since I am writing so much faster and better then before. Right?!
So though it has been a few months since the last entry I still have the promise of more pictures. I also have a list of funny stories to tell.
My girls have seen too many princess movies, this is how I can tell...
The other day as I wound our Grandfather clock I decided to let it chime and strike away. Needless to say this is a perfect setting for a princess story. The girls dressed up in there princess dresses dancing to the Demo song on our piano. When the clocked chimed, they turned off the music each dropping one shoe and running into their bedroom. They would then return to the "ball" and repeat the process until mom called them to lunch. They did this all before watching Enchanted, which I believe is their new favorite move, except for the barbie movies and Sleeping Beauty.
I made biscuits the other day and set out the honey. Natalie looking a little confused asked if it was syrup, just in a different container. I then proceeded to tell her that syrup, real syrup at least comes from trees etc. and then I told her that honey comes from bees that make it from the nectar found in flowers. As I was winding down she said, "And then the bees take the honey to Wal Mart." You could see in her face that all the pieces of the puzzle had now come together.
We had a good laugh over that.
Andrew who tries very hard to play with his sisters finds it hard to communicate with them. Girls just don't seem to understand the language of Grunt. So he has decided that hitting has become his new form of communication. And I quote from the Book of rules by Andrew, "It is ok to hit your sisters when you become frustrated as long as you give then a hug afterwards."
Though I attempted to correct this idea, my actions speak otherwise.
"Andrew do not hit your sister, give her a hug and say you are sorry." See, it is okay to hit as long as it is followed by a hug.
I can not wait until it is spring we all have cabin fever. The other day the sun was shinning and the snow was melting that the kids and I went out side and played on the drive way. I took a minute to wonder about the temperature, when I noticed I could still see my breath. It was 34 degrees and we were outside in our jackets. Take about being acclimatised!!! For Easter we had a nice snow storm. I told Jim that this had better be the last snow storm or I am going! He is welcome to join me but I'm gone!!
loves for WI
