A few of my favorite things

The girls have been doing so much lately. Here are a few things that I absolutley love that they do:

Addie asks if we can play Dr. every day before she takes a nap. So cute.



Macie gets excited about learning. She now knows how to write almost all of her letters. She loves to write her name and is asking all of the time how to spell things.



Addie said to me today: "mom, put my shoe on right now! or you will go to time out" sooo funny



Macie loves to try and lift Addie up. She tells Addie to get onto the couch and then has Addie fall into her arms and she carries her around the room. They both love it and think that they are sooo funny.



Addie has an ongoing joke. First, a little background, when Geoff went to Oklahoma for his interview, he taught Addie how to say Oklahoma. When she said it, we would all laugh because we thought that it was so cute. Now whenever you ask her a question, like, what do you want for breakfast, she will say "Oklahoma cereal" and then start laughing her head off. She truly thinks that she is sooooo funny. It is quite hilarious.



Macie likes to put her arm around Geoff and smoosh their faces together and then say "best friends" She truly thinks that they are best friends. So cute.



Hearing Addie say "oh man" in the right way. Hilarious.

Macie calls her teachers at school "Mr.Kate and Mr. Erin" instead of Ms. Kate and Ms. Erin. She just can't figure out the Ms. thing. It is really funny and I love to hear her say it. In return, her teachers call her "Mr. Macie".



Watching Macie and Addie play and laugh together...melts my heart.



On Monday when we were doing family night, I was getting ready to do the lesson, and Macie jumps up and says, I want to do the lesson tonight. (Geoff and I looked at each other shocked, because we have asked her to do this before and the answer is always no.) So she runs upstairs and grabs a paper that she made in church. It was a picture of the manger scene. She then proceeded to tell us the whole story of Jesus and who was there in the manger. It was such a sweet little moment. She was so proud of herself and now says that she wants to do the lesson every week with the same picture. :)



Macie has a such a sweet and loving way about her. She truly cares for those around her and wants to be everyone's friend. She is very responsible. She makes her bed everyday without having to be asked and cleans up her room as well. She loves to surprise me with her clean room on a daily basis. I have to close my eyes and walk into her room and act completely surprised. (Which I do, and I act EXTREMELY happy every.single.time. becuase I want to encourage her to keep doing it! So far it is working!) She says that she likes to do it because she knows that it makes me happy. What a sweet heart.



Addie is a fire cracker. She is hilarious and knows it. She has quite the sense of humor on her and will be making us laugh our way through life. She is almost impossible to get mad at because she always trys to do something funny and make you laugh or you just have to say it in a more serious tone and then she listens. She loves her mommy and loves for me to hold her. I could hold her all day long and it still wouldn't be enough for her. She acts kind of shy around new people, but then warms up and is fine.



I love you girls so much and just want you to know how you were at this age and what types of things you did.
