Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh

A couple of days ago I left Megan, for maybe a minute or two to cut up an apple for a snack. In that small time frame Megan managed to find a marker, color the front room carpet and took off her diaper. Not sure how she managed that one!

Yesterday Megan dropped her sippy filled with apple juice (she must have undid the lid) and it splattered all over the kitchen tile.

Today Kendra dropped her cup of her banana milkshake and not only did it fly across the tile but it went onto the carpet, chair, and entertainment center. Then while drinking apple juice she somehow spit it out.

And now the funniest moment of the day:

It's like 70 degrees outside. The kids played in the rocks while I trimmed a bush (this thing is huge - it's my neighbors - and I've been working on it for weeks - our trashbins can only hold so much!). Kendra yells to me, "mom I found some seeds and I'm planting them, do you want to see my seeds?" "Sure Kendra." She comes closer and holds up her hand I then say, "um, Kendra, that's rabbit poo." I laugh everytime I think of this, because her smile turned to shock. While her eyes were fixated on me she proceeded to take her other hand and brush the pellets onto the ground. I got a good laugh today.

Megan in her favorite cupboard - I don't know what the fascination is with the syrup!

Cute sisters.

Kendra dresses herself...and only lets me minimally do her hair.

Daily Life

Fun things in my daily life:

Kendra loves the musical 'Wicked' and asks to sing popular whenever we drive somewhere. Megan likes to sing it to but can't quite articulate the words correctly which frustrates Kendra. Kendra tries to teach me how to sing it properly which is just a hoot.

Megan found a bottle of lotion within her reach the other day. Most of it had been spilled by the time I found her. Luckily it was mostly on her and not anything else. Glad she had fun!

Megan talks a lot more now than before. She repeats what we say and will now say something and then point to it. She likes the song loathing from Wicked and says the part from the end, "boo! ahh!"

I am teaching Kendra to read from the SWRL books. She loves them and she's able to sound words out which she couldn't do before.

Whenever I tell Megan "no" she pretends to cry and runs to sister. Kendra then hugs her. Even when Kendra gets mad at Megan she still wants a hug from her. She loves her sister. Although they fight more often now than before because Megan wants everything that sister has and Kendra gets upset because she doesn't want to share. Oh the joy!
