more funny moments...

The other day we were over at my mom's house. Grace was in my mom's room with her when my mom told her super annoying barking dog to shut up. Grace said "Oooooh! You're lucky my mom didn't hear you say that!"

Last week I was walking out of Target and this cute little old lady was oogling over baby Claire and then she asked Mae if she could take her little baby sister home with her. Mae looked shocked and disgusted and said, "No, we don't let her go with strangers!"

We were all in the car the other day and Alan and I were trying to have a grown-up conversation, but the girls were fighting in the back seat. We kept hearing the words "Heavenly Father" and "Jesus" being shouted. It sounded the opposite of reverent. Finally Alan asked what was going on and Grace said "Heavenly Father and Jesus know everything, right Dad?" Mae interrupted and shouted "No, I DO!"

I just told this to Grace - I had completely forgotten about it until now. When she was about 2 she would always tell us that she wanted "too much ice cream."

Oh, I love your girls. Someone should write a book. Thanks for the laughs.

How do you remember them all!? I have a piece of paper on my fridge that I run over to when they say funny things because I WILL forget them if I don't!!

Your girls are so funny. I love how Mae eggs on Grace so much. Brittney is the same way with Braedyn.

You are inspiring me to jot down more little convo's like that that just melt your heart or make you laugh nonstop. YOUR GIRLIES ARE SO CUTE! They just remind me so much of you...really. What a great mommy you are! I hope all is well Erica. It's been too long since we've played. Maybe we can meet at the park soon.

Are you ever going to update us on those beautiful girls? I'm dying to see what Claire looks like! See I'm not crazy about crazy legs. I remember in high school reading in my Mom's nursing magazine about Restless Leg Syndrome and thinking, I knew I wasn't crazy I just termed crazy legs before RLS ever came about. I just run or make Mal rub my calves, or sleep and it goes away. They do have meds you can take for it, but mine isn't that bad. Thanks for the bath tip though I do love a nice long bubble bath! Hope life is well with the soul trains!

Hey, you freaking need to update! :-) I wanna see pics are hear stories!! Also, how do you do journaling in photoshop? Can't find the editor, and I think that is probably the golden ticket. The "how to's" that come with the cd are driving me crazy.
