Funniest things part who knows?

I love when the kids say cute things and I have a few to share. When we were driving to Julie's the other day we were talking about Christmas. Maddie says "can we go boganning in the red bogan-thingy?" Yes Maddie, of course. Then Emma says "will we put out celery and carrots for Santa's rein-goats?" Yes Emma. So cute. Today we were getting dinner ready and the girls help me by getting things from the cupboard. Emma grabbed something and had to move a bag of peanuts. She says "mummy, are you allergic to penises?" I laughed so hard and said "you mean peanuts?" It was hysterical. I also have a pimple on my chin and when I looked in the mirror I sighed because it was still there and Emma says "well just don't look in the mirror, mom." Sigh. Out of the mouths of babes.

Tomorrow is their kindergarten observation so John and I get to go in and see the girls in their classroom and then get feedback from the teacher. I can't wait and they are super excited to have us in their class. Their teachers were flexible and kind enough to accommodate so I can see them on the same day one after the other. It helps that I am a teacher and we communicate through the board e-mail. Looking forward to it!

Royal Winter Fair

We took the girls to the RWF. It's neat to see them change from year to year as this has become a tradition. When they were little they fed the animals at the petting zoo without fear. Last year they wanted nothing to do with feeding them, as they were scared, but they were still very interested in looking at the animals. This year they were back to no fear and fed all of them from the palms of their hands. It was very cute to see their faces light up especially when they fed the llamas. The other highlight of the fair was a cow pooping and a honey stick. Emma brought up the yummy honey stick today! They were able to partake in the interactive games for kids for the first time. One game was to spin a wheel and then tell the employee what sound the animal in the picture made. Both girls got them right (and they were hard, they were snouts of a pig and a bunny's nose). They won an apple. lol. There was also a fake cow they could milk (it was water) and a memory game of the Ontario Wildlife. They are so good at memory; much better than me! All in all the trip was great and we will go again next year.

Gain an hour? Not with little ones!

Clocks went back on Sat. Each year John and I devise a plan to keep them up an hour later in hopes that they will adjust to the time change. Well the time change cannot compete with their little internal clocks and they've been up at 6 the last two mornings. It takes about a week for them to sleep til 7:30 again. Oh well! I love the mornings when they snuggle into bed with me and tickle my face. Emma is the best cuddler. Maddie will sometimes, but has to be in the mood. She prefers to watch tv out in the nook. Needless to say they were pretty cranky when I picked them up from Julie's today but didn't sleep in the car, surprisingly. They are still loving school and Maddie asks me "where are we going after bed" meaning where are we tomorrow, school or Julie's? They love both places equally. They went to Church for the first time with Julie and her family and loved it. Emma especially loved Sunday school. John and I aren't religious but we don't mind the girls going as they can decide for themselves as they get older. For now they love it. I will try and be better at updating more often!
