If You Give A Girl Some Lip gloss…

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

If you give a two year old girl some lip gloss she’ll probably want to smear it all over her face…

and smearing it all over her face will remind her that she has a big sister who would also likes to smear apply lip gloss. So she’ll probably ask for lip gloss for her big sister…

And once big sister applies lip gloss to her face it will remind her that she needs practice applying it  to other people’s faces…

so she’ll ask daddy to be her model.

And once daddy agrees to be her model, mommy will thank God for having such a wonderful husband and father of her children…

……and remember that she has a blog where she loves to post about her husband and lip gloss loving girls

….. and then she’ll remember she has a camera and that this is a blog worthy moment

…And take pictures. Lots pictures.

……And post it on her blog. And when her little girls see the pictures on her blog, it will remind them that they love make-up.

So they’ll probably ask mommy for some lip gloss.

Out Of The Mouth Of Babes (Wordful Wednesday)

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Me: Why is Cinderella over here in the corner by the bird cage?

Madelyn (2.5 years)- Because she’s in time out. She be naughty.

Me: Oohhhkay

Katelyn (4 years) to Madelyn: I have to go potty. Lets count to five and wait for daddy to come out so I can go in.

Madelyn: Ok

Katelyn and Madelyn together: One, two, three, four, five…

Madelyn: …..Six, seven..

Katelyn: No! We’re only doing FIVE.

*********************************************************************

Katelyn to me: Mama, are there a lot of numbers in Maxachussetts? (that’s how she says Massachusetts! lol)

Me: Uh….sure.

*********************************************************************

Katelyn to Madelyn while in the tub: Madelyn did you know that if you’re blind you can put mud on your eyes and you won’t be blind anymore? That’s what Jesus did. He put-ed mud on a man’s eyes that was blind and then he could see!

Me to Katelyn: Yes, Jesus did that because he was Jesus and he did miracles like that during Bible times but that kind of miracle really doesn’t happen today.

Madelyn to Katelyn: Yeah, becauth(Maddy has a bit of lisp every now and then! So cute) ….if you put mud in your eyes……….you will have muddy eyes!!

(So much truth to this statement!)

*********************************************************************

While watching ” A Baby Story” the other day ( still not sure how wise of an idea it was to watch it with the girls around ) Katelyn was captivated by the woman giving birth. As she was pushing Katelyn looked at me and said in complete awe and wonder  ” IS THE BABY IN THE MOMMY’S BUM???”

When mom and dad don’t understand, a sister always will. ~Author Unknown

To the outside world we all grow old.  But not to brothers and sisters.  We know each other as we always were.  We know each other’s hearts.  We share private family jokes.  We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys.  We live outside the touch of time.  ~Clara Ortega

Happy Friday! Hug someone you love today.
