Snippets
The other day I was on the computer and looked over and saw Madelyn--
"I'm training to be a pirate!" she said. The funny part wasn't so much the pirate but the training to be. Madelyn has surprised us lately with the use of certain other words like factory and flamingo.
Then London in the background, "I'm training to be a princess!" No surprise. Lately she has come out with this Punky Brewster wardrobe where she is decked out from head to toe in non-matching pink items. She always has to wear her necklace, headband, bracelet and Sleeping Beauty shoes and has been known to come in our room at 6 am asking for them.
The girls are always asking if they can "go to the ball" and so one day we put on fancy church dresses and some music and had a ball. We made little paper princess tiaras I let them color and decorate with Wonder Pet stickers (they looked more like Pocahontas). Of course Prince Charming showed up for the big event.
Madelyn loves to be wrapped up like a baby and cuddled.
Londie has informed us there are now twins in her stomach...a boy and a girl.
The girls have been saying a lot of funny things lately. A couple of days ago I was helping London in the bathroom and she looks at me and says, "Mommy has a big bum" totally out of the blue! Before I had even finished laughing Maddie comes walking in the door and says, "Mommy has a big bum" like it was something they had been discussing for days! I don't think Ryan and I have ever used the terms 'big' and 'bum' together so it was a shock. The whole observation was as nonchalant as their usual, "Mommy has green eyes."

wow! I can't believe how much their vocabulary has grown! I so enjoyed hearing and seeing the fun things that they do. The ball was such a great idea! I am glad prince charming showed up! (I think 'big bum' is relative!)
Hi Leslie! I found your blog on Heathers. Your girls are gorgeous!! I can't believe how big they are! I ran into your parents in the ol' neighborhood and they told me your having another girl. That's so great! Congrats!
I have loved being a part of all this. My favorite thing is whenever I wear a skirt to work and i'm getting ready in the bathroom Londie always notices and tells me i'm "pretty." Only when I'm wearing a skirt. I love it.
I am glad you have them to keep you laughing. They are a riot!
You know I am pretty sure that some of our new found vocab, has come straight from your home, for example this morning the appletv was on and Gwen was scrolling through the movies, and she stopped on little mermaid and said oh a princess! You know that didn't come from me.
But I do love that they are practicing to be lots of fun things, I think that pirating sounds fun, and especially if you get to have a spyglass. I happen to like Punky Brewster so I am all for London's creative wardrobe, and I think that they were talking about me with the big bum.
Next time you want to have a ball feel free to call us, you know we love dancing. Maybe Harrison can practice being a little prince.
How fun to have prince charming come to the ball for the two little darling princesses. It is always surprising to hear big words come out of little mouths, one does wonder where they come from.
