Conversations in Potty Training
Potty Training is going to be the death of me.
Daily conversation:
Me: Do you need to go potty?
Lily: no
Me: Are you sure?
Lily: No!
Five minutes later
Me: Do you need to go potty?
Lily: I did (reveals little puddle on my couch)
Me: I just asked you (pulling hair out in frustration)
Seriously going to need new furniture when this is over.
Additions to my things I thought I'd never say list:
Don't touch your sister's vagina!
(running around naked potty training, you know so I don't have to do laundry everyday)
Don't run and pee!
(Lily walked across the floor while peeing leaving a two foot trail on my carpet for me to clean up)
It's a good thing they're cute

Why My Children Need a Dog
I love the "I hate you lady" look. I rescued him right after this. Poor cats, they are so good with the girls though. They never hiss or scratch or bite. I love them!

Photo post
I have a ton of cute photos of my babies I had to share:
 |
| Miss Lily living it up as a flower girl in my sister's wedding. Seriously I need to hire her out to people as a professional flower girl. She loved it! The pretty dress and shoes (her dancing shoes and twirly princess dress) were perfect for her. She walked down the aisle and held her little flowers. |
 |
| our Christmas picture this year |
 |
| hugs |
 |
| Sophie and Nana, Soph wasn't as sure about the whole flower girl thing. She walked with me down the aisle and only did so because I let her hold my flowers. She was a very good girl, except she fell on the kneelers during the ceremony. No tears just a loud bang. |

Not Sure Whether to Laugh or Cry
Having toddelers is a bit of an emotional roller coaster. One second you're yelling at them to share and then you're fixing boo boos and giving out snuggles. Both girls are very into using their immagination and they love to pretend things they see mommy and daddy doing. They are also little parrotts.
Lily has gotten a bit bossy and has lots of interesting ideas about what to play.
She loves to tattle and tell people when they need a time out (mimicking mama). A few little stories:
She is playing dress up with my sister and they come and show me. Em stays with me and Lily disappears to come back and tell Em that she can't find her earring. She says "I need my earring so I can go teach the kids." (that's what I tell her I do when I go to work, teach the kids)
The other day she was explaining to our neighbor that she need to climb up on his roof to get the crown off the chimney (no idea). She gives him a long explanation and he tries to tell her she can't go on the roof because it is dangerous. She pauses and looks at him with one hand on her hip and she throws one hand up and says "so what's the problem?"
She farted the other day, and our nanny told her to say excuse me. Lily told her "why, my butt burped."

Sophie isn't as bossy but she has her own little quirks. She is my rough and tough girl.
Soph loves to tell you all about things. When we read a book, she won't let you turn the page until she describes the pictures to you. She loves to help clean up and gets terribly mad if you start without her. She is daddy's shadow. She is also the queen of coming up with weird names for things:
daddy crackers- peanut butter crackers
bam bam- band aid
cow milk- vanilla milk (has a cow on the carton)
ice- she needs an ice pack to go to sleep with (it's a stalling technique)
Life will never be boring.

Under Quarantine and other randomness
We've been horribly miserably sick over here for the last week and a halfish. The girls had their first bout with pink eye, which is lovely. Actually we were pretty lucky and only the girls had it and we've seemed to have been able to get rid of it completely. They only had bad symptoms for a little over a day. We've had lots of rough nights though. Both girls ended up in bed with us, taking turns, over the last few nights.
I think the culprit of some of the left over sniffles is this:
gotta love all the pollen. We've also had some serious tick problems. We've been doing lots of hiking and J and I both had tick bites, luckily we only found one crawling on Lily. Ugh they creep me out. We also found two snakes on a walk. Can I tell you how much I hate snakes! Being a Texas girl I've seen my fair share but I think they are on the top of my hate list. J lets me close my eyes when they are on tv and tells me when the bad part is over. I know I'm a child.
The tree above is in our front yard and I adore it. It is a pain in the but though. I think J and I (mostly J) have swept and raked up the falling petals about twice a day for the last week. He wants to cut it down, don't worry he won't. It blooms for all of two days and then everything falls off. In a month or so it will drop it's seeds and then we'll get to clean all those up too.
I'll leave you with a picture of my Lily bug, she's a ham but will only let you take pictures of her when she is in the right mood.
