Kissy, Kissy

Well, first things first.  Macy and Jorey got their pictures taken the other day. 
Here are my little ladies. 

Macy LOVES getting her hair done and getting all cutesied up.  Jorey, on the other hand, said "I don't want quails (which is how she pronounces curls).  She was mad all morning about that shirt (too tight!), about the quails...everything.  I was happy to see that she smiled and was lookin' good for pics, though.

In other news, when I arrived at daycare to pick the girls up, Macy was outside with her class.  Before we left, she had to give a couple of her favorite friends some hugs good-bye.  Well, when it was time for Liam, he laid a big ole kiss on her lips!  She was wiping it off, but smiling all the way over to me.  I asked what in the world that was.  She replied, "Liam kissed me because he's my boyfriend and we're going to get married."  "Oh, ya????"

Then, Jorey ran over and picked her little buddy, Graham, right up and kissed his cheek.  She's the bruiser, so she just picks her boyfriend up and kisses him.  He stood there, stunned.  Have I got a couple little flirts or what?

Hot Lava and Spiders...and tears

Macy and Jorey were sitting at the counter drawing pictures very nicely, while I made dinner.  All of the sudden, someone got mad at the other and Macy told Jorey the following:
"Jorey, if we go on a bacation (vacation) without Mom and Dad some time, and there is hot lava, I'm not going to save you."
"No..."
"Ya, If there's hot lava, I'm just going to run faster and you won't be able to."
"No, Macy!"
"Yep and then there are going to be spiders and lava.  They are going to bite you."

Then, came the tears.  Jorey was heartbroken and traumatized at the thought and needed some consoling.
Really, where does Macy come up with this stuff?!

And, does this look like the girl that would say such hurtful things?

Mexican Night

Mexican Night is an event hosted in my parent's garage.  It's fabulous for nerdy and entertaining banter.  Usually, there is just Mexican music playing, too many margaritas and tequila poppers, but this year, they added a DJ - Uncle Andy - to play YouTube Videos on the wall and create a dance club effect.  It was very fun and entertaining.  Grandpa was there with his "old fart" hat on and he even got down with June Bug for a bit.  Somehow, Meaghan, Brooke, and I, determined that the best use for a lei is to tie it around your head.  Mitz, Dawn, and I had some serious bling.  These selections were from the prize bucket for winning hammerschlagen. 

Another good one down!

Pink Eye - The trauma that isn't!

See Jorey's reaction to getting her drops for pink eye.  This happened every time...the horror!

A Sweeket

"Mom, Macy told me a sweeket."
"A what?"
"A Sweeket, but I'm not telling."
"Oh, a secret?"
"Ya, a sweeket..."
"What was it?"
"I can't tell."
"Oh, Ok."
"Ok.  She said I'm pretty and that I'm like a little princess."

Happy Easter, Everyone!

Progress on the Basement - Almost Done!

Ken and Derek have been hard at it!  Almost done with the basement.
Ken has chosen nearly every color, piece of wood, tile, countertop, etc.  He's done a great job and I've been very little help with the whole thing.  What a champ!
