Conversations

As I was getting ready this morning, the girls were in the toy room playing. I was thoroughly enjoying listening to their conversations. They are playing cars. Macie started with one of her cars saying: (in a deep voice..) "I am your grandpa. I am 37 years old."
Then I hear Addie accusing Macie of breaking a toy. Macie then gets upset and says I am not going to play with you anymore. Addie starts to cry...uncontrollably as though she has just broken her leg. Macie hurries and tries to calm Addie down by saying "ok, you can play with me, but I am going to make a chart and if you can be nice for 1 hour then I will give you a check mark. When you get 5 check marks, then you can play with me all of the time."  Addie thought that this was a great idea and is super excited about getting check marks. They have now been playing nicely for the past 2 hours. WOW!
The other night Geoff was outside doing yard work. He came in through the back door, which opens up into the toy room. When he came in, he didn't take off his shoes and he left a pile of dirt. Macie was not very happy with him and came to tell me that "dad took his shoes off and on accident, ON PURPOSE  he made a big dirty mess."
Addie had a surprise for me and said: "Mom, close your eyes- can you still hear me when you close your eyes?"
Addie came in while Geoff and I were checking the weather on the TV and says: "Mom, this is so cool....the weather is on your TV."

Love these kids. They always keep me laughing.
