funnies...

(And, I wanted to post another picture but I found this one of Claire & Lily and I was just amazed at how much Lily looks like Drew!!! What do you think?) :)

*Wednesday at the insurance office, the lady was singing "twinkle, twinkle, little star" to Lily. Lily said, "Shhh! my sing." and started singing! She is very particular about singing. She thinks SHE is the best singer ever & mama thinks she is right (Claire is too!). :)

*Claire said that Mama is sick and is now putting address labels all over my arm. She says they are band-aids. ;) It's gonna hurt pulling those suckers off!

*Claire put her ponytail holders on her ankles and said, "Mama, my ankles need bracelets, too. They are very musical." (What? does that mean?) :)

*Lily telling me she is "too tired" when she doesn't want to go to sleep! lol. :) Exactly why you need to go to sleep sweet girl!

*Claire saying, "Daddy, I am going to marry you." Charlie said, "Why do you want to marry Daddy, baby?" Claire said, "You are cute (wonder where she heard that one?) and I am cute, so we can get married" Daddy says, "What about Mama?" Claire then said, "Well, she can cook for us". :) Gee thanks!! I get to be the maid!! HOW funny is that?! :)

*Fixing sweet potatoes for supper the other night and Claire said, "Where's the ugly potatoes?" Because if she is being bad, we tell her it is "being ugly " and if she is being good, we tell her she is "being sweet". So cute!

Well, I just thought I would share these! My kids say such cute things all of the time and I just forget to write them down. So, I am recording them here today. :)

Happy Friday!!

"I'm cooking the cat!!!"

This is Claire's new favorite book! She LOVES to read it and then pretend to make cupcakes! :o) Actually, she has talked Daddy & Mama into letting her make cupcakes a couple of times!!! She is SO much fun!!! Her favorite phrase now that she says repeatedly all day long is, "I'm cooking the cat!" "Mama, look, I'm cooking the cat!!"

What a cutie-pie! I just had to share this little bit of my precious Claire!!!

And, she had a special date with Daddy last night to get an ice cream sundae! She got all her stickers for using the potty!!! Yay!!!! She's working really hard for some more right now!!! That's my girl!!! :o)

Thank you to my husband(warning: it's sappy)

I am just writing this note to Charlie so he will be surprised when he checks my blog tonight! Thank you so much, baby, for staying up with me last night until 11:30 and watching the movie even though you had to get up at 5 am. That was such a sweet idea you had and we haven't done anything like that in so long. It made me feel really good to know that you wanted to just spend time with me laughing and cuddling. I feel newly connected to you again and that is such an awesome feeling!

Thanks so much for letting me go grocery shopping by myself and to get my hair cut. It was so sweet of you to make homemade pizza last night, you make the best pizza in the entire world! And, the movie night was just a perfect ending to an amazing day with the best husband ever.

I know how blessed I am to be your wife. Thank you for making me feel that you are blessed to be my husband. I love you so much and every new day with you is one that I am eternally grateful for.

See you soon! Love always & forever, "Fred"
