EveryDay

I just arrived home from my first girls only game night here in Payette. Oh how I have missed games with the girls!! Nothing like a truck-load of estrogen to keep you going all month. Thanks Ladies! Fellow gamers should be proud, we did quit promptly at 10:30pm as promised to some of the husbands to allow this to go on. ; ) I'm not quite ready to cash it in (too many night shifts??), so I thought I would catch up a bit.

Rachel and Lizzy after church a couple weeks ago. They do like each other every once in awhile. Aren't those the cutest smiles?....Ok, now for what every other day is like....

Lately the girls have stopped thinking that cleaning is their responsibility so.....most of their toys that need to be 'cleaned up' are on time out--for 2 weeks (they'll be free when Rachel hits 4). That leaves them with the options that are in the plastic Walmart drawers under the bed--Dress up!!

Samantha set this up and told each of them where to place her arms when I told her I wanted a shot of all three--all this after one basketball game?? Curse that half-time entertainment.

Is this a sign of what is to come?? Look at those moves, I'm not sure she realizes that she is not even two yet??

All because of the wonderful example of ....

How could you resist? I love what happens when I threaten them with bed before dinner if they leave anything that belongs to them out in the front room. They can be quite creative.
For example: when we were discussing their Valentines project Sam tells me--when asked if she had any pink paper, 'I'm sure I do, Mom, but it is on time-out, so we'll just have to use yours.' Aren't they supposed to be a bit older when they figure this stuff out?? Not to worry--yet another experience well preserved for later blackmail.
