Tired girlies

Family Day here so we had the day off. The girls got up at 6:30! Typical! On a school day I drag them out of bed at 7:30 but on a holiday they wake at the crack of dawn. Oh well, they played together so I got to stay in bed a little longer. Later this morning Emma put her hand under my shirt and smushed my boob. Then she asks "how come you have long boobies?" I almost peed myself laughing! She said "look mine are short." I explained that as you get older your body changes and she asked why. I started getting into the puberty talk but she lost interest, thank goodness!

I took the girls to Walmart yesterday as Emma needs new pants. She is still a size 4! Maddie got a Justin Bieber shirt. She is so obsessed with him! This is a conversation from the car yesterday: Maddie: I love Justin Beaver. Me: You don't even know him. How do you know he treats women properly? Maddie: I don't know but I reawy wike his hair.

So cute!

Miss Manners

As I am sending the girls off to a Father-Daughter dance tonight, I say "now remember your manners" and Emma says "I don't know how to speak manners." "yes you do, it's when you say please and thank-you" and she says "oh, yeah, I know that language." lol So cute.

We celebrated Lily's 4th birthday today at the Superstore where the girls got to make pizza and decorate cupcakes. Emma wanted no cheese or pepperoni, just mushrooms and she actually ate the whole thing! So funny. Maddie had pepperoni and cheese and she loved her pizza. They both enjoyed decorating and a lot of licking the icing went on. We came home and hung out for a bit and then they went to the dance with John.

Report cards came home last week. Both girls got a great report and I had to laugh out loud when I read the first line of Emma's which read: Emma is a polite and quiet child. Ha! Yes she is polite, but quiet? Good grief. Now I know how my parents felt when the teachers used to say the same about me.

Snow Day. Sort of

I am still battling the cold the girls had, and Toronto and Markham got hit with some snow so I took a sick day today and the girls and I stayed home. They played outside with John and shovelled the driveway, we made smores and they coloured a ton of pictures. They are very excited for school tomorrow because they get to go on a field trip to do gymnastics. It's also Chinese New Year so they are wearing their cute traditional Chinese dresses. Since I was sick today they were very sweet and took care of me. Emma made sure I had a blanket and she would come over and pat my head and face and give me kisses. She is very sweet and affectionate. Madison would see my reaction to Emma and then run over and do the same. So funny. They got along today for the most part, but like any sisters, have their fair share of screaming matches! Good thing there weren't too many!

Bedtime Cuteness!

Maddie (at bedtime): mummy, do you wuv us?
Me: yes.
Mads: A wot or a widdle?
Me: A lot.
Mads: How much?
Me: To the moon and back a whole bunch of times.
Mads: dats a wot. Does dat mean I can have fruit woll ups for bweakfast?
Me: No
Mads: Oh!

Emma was star of the day at school and they get to do the calendar, weather and show and tell. She came home today and said "mummy, I got to do the calendar and weather but I didn't get to do show and tell because we had to go to the gym and practise for the concert." I said that was too bad and she said "so nobody in my class got to meet kitty." Poor thing brought her favourite toy-du-jour, her stuffed cat. Maybe next time she'll get to do show and tell.
