Promise?

Sadie and I are having a battle of the wills today. It hasn't been a pleasant day for either of us.
She just yelled, "I am NEVER going to talk to that mama again!!"
Unfortunately, that little threat didn't last very long. :Þ

We Are So Excited!

We are all so excited for Christmas tomorrow. Bethanie has kept us up to date on the count down for a few weeks now. It is so much fun because this year both of the girls understand what is going on.
This year Bethanie has asked Santa for a "cash register". Sadie has asked Santa for a "pat pat rocket" and a "barbie that cooks".
The girls have been good this year and I think they will avoid the coal. :)

She's Been Hit

I just wanted to share this picture of Bethanie after being hit by a snowball. Who was the culprit? Her own father! Can you believe it? :)

Caught You!

Recently we have had to remind Sadie CONSTANTLY to keep her finger out of her nose.
The other night we were sitting at dinner when, out of nowhere, Sadie says,
"Mom, a long, long, long, long time ago I saw you with your finger in your nose."

The Evil Twin

Sadie has an evil twin. Whenever I ask her what she is doing, when she is doing something that she probably shouldn't be, she always responds with, "I am not Sadie. I am Emily."
Yesterday her father met Emily for the first time. He was unaware of the evil twin.
He had a long conversation with Emily. He asked her where she was from, where her family lived, etc.
She had valid and consistent answers for every question given.
When he asked why Emily looked so much like Sadie, Sadie told him that sometimes friends look alike.
I told Sean I wanted to meet Emily's mother to make sure Sean had nothing to do with Emily's existence. :)

This Deal Is Over!

Tonight at dinner we had peas. Sadie made up a new, and very surprising, song. The words were quite repetitive, but they went like this...
"I just can't get enough peas, I just can't get enough peas... I need more peas, cause I just can't get enough peas!"
After asking for seconds of her peas and polishing those off, I told her that she needed to eat her chicken and her rice. She told me that she was done eating. I told her she wasn't done until she ate some of her chicken and rice.
She said, "This is MY deal and this deal is OVER!!"

Dressing Up

I just HAD to post this picture.
