Three year olds..
Have you ever had your child say something that is something you said when you were there age and it just freaks you out? For example,
I asked G what she wanted Santa to bring her and she responded with, "Oh just a candy cane as tall as me." This is exactly what I asked for from Santa when I was 3! I told my dad about it and he said, "You must have put her up to that!" Nope I never even told her that is what I asked for. So creepy! Then today, we were walking into Safeway and there were the cutest black labs in the back of a suburban and then a little black and white Australian Shepard and witty little G says, "AWWW! Look at those adorable little puppy dawgs! I want one mommy, but daddy won't let me get one, UGH!" haha seriously ask Mitty, this is exactly what I sound like. So I told her, "I know daddy won't let us get one RIGHT NOW, but when you are a little older he said we can get one, everything good is worth waiting for my love. Soon we will have an adorable puppy dog you can call your own." "UGH I guess. If you say so."
REALLY! Did my 3 year old just say, "If you say so?" Why can't she say that when I tell her to clean up her toys?
So moral of this story, my 3 year old is just like me, when I was three. She says the darndest things and brightens every day! I love you G babe!

Santa baby...
To start off sappy, yes stop reading now if you can't handle it.. I love just stepping back and watching my girls. They are amazing (yes I have a bias opinion but if you know them you know how awesome they are!) Not only is G the coolest kid on the block but she is also the best big sissy in the world. She includes Keylove in all her games and fun. And Keylove looks at her sissy and gets the biggest grin across her face. I hope my girls stay close forever, no bond is better than the bond of sisters. I know this because I have the best big sister a girl could ask for.
Okay, so that was my sap, if you are still reading, well done, up top, tip of the hat to you!
Tis the season to have christmas music on, our pretend fire place going, the smell of freshly baked cookies strung throughout the house, G running around in nothing but her "too small, fit her when she was 1 tutu", Keylove rolling all around her play mat wishing she could keep up with her awesome sissy and me trying to top G's dance skills (which everyone knows isn't possible). What could possibly be missing on this northwest rainy holiday filled day, you ask. Well, he stands 6 foot 1 and will lie and try to tell you he is 6 foot 1 3/4 inches, he has brown hair, and when he walks by you, you can't help but stop and stare.. If you guessed Old Saint Nick, you are... WRONG! It is none other than us girls' hero, Mitty love. Add him to this crazy holiday filled house and it would be perfect! Lets recap on last year...
Picture us decorating our tree, I put holiday music on and Mitch complains the whole time, "Come on turn it off, and why in the hell are we stringing floss through each ornament?" I answer with, "You only have to listen to this music one time a year, so sorry. And my fault I forgot the ornament hanger thingies... Just think this is bonding time!" He shrugs does a little complaining under his breath and then we see G hanging all the ornaments in one tiny short place on the tree... Then we look at each other and know, this is what it is all about! Then we turn our backs for no more than a minute and G has crawled inside the plastic container the ornaments came in.. (yes a picture will be posted so you can laugh with us, or just shrug and move on with your day)
So since Mitty isn't here and won't be here for a week or so, I think I am going to declare our holiday season a tad bit longer this year.. (asking G for the okay..) I get a goldfish cracker filled "YESS!" with goldfish crackers EXPLODING from her mouth! Well, it is settled, We will be the house on our block that outlives everyone else's decorations (meaning my wreath on the front door and our christmas tree in the window, whenever we may get it) and they can complain all they want, because we are not backing down.
See without my girls, life would be oh so dull and I am thankful for every minute I get with them. And yes, I had to babble on about all of that to get to that conclusion. Now I bet you guys agree my girls are pretty rad.
Happy holidays everyone! I hope you annoy your neighbors with letting your holiday spirit go on a little longer than usual too :)

Burn baby burn!!
While I am doing my stairs I heard from behind me, "Keep going mommy! You can do this!"
Then to do crunches G climbs on top of me and makes me work EVEN harder while giggling like a school girl.
I then started my leg lifts [mind you this is at the VERY end of my workout] I did my right leg first and then said, "Oh man mommy stills has to do her other leg!" And so I did. After stretching I am stretched across our living room floor wanting to never move again when my 3 foot tall personal trainer appears above me shouting "OTHER LEG MOMMY! LETS GO!"
Seriously?! I would rather have a body builder cutting me some slack because now I know my 3 year old will not let me get away with ANYTHING! Fat rolls get ready to vanish I have a G machine as my personal trainer and she is dedicated.

A day of baking and dancing in our underpants.... I think so!
Today we bake! [like most days :)] G and I tackled blackberry jelly filled muffins with her classmates fortunes on the bottom! And this is what we call a good snack time snack! Maybe the other moms might think I have too much time on my hands, but to be honest I MAKE time to bake with my little girl. She is my whole world [ as well as Keylee and Mitty :)] and I want to make sure she can look back on her childhood and say, I had one cool mom. Now, I know we all hope our children say that about us, but I am determined to make my little girls have the best childhood memories that might just earn me that title.
So we start baking, G does all the mixing, while standing on a chair and the local hits station is on, not only is my daughter dancing and mixing while standing on a chair but she is also in her underpants.
This ladies and gentlemen is MY DAUGHTER! She cracks the funniest jokes, makes every room full of life just by entering it and is one heck of a dancer (most of the time in her tutus or underpants] because she says to me "Mommy, I don't like wearing pants at home, it's hard when I REALLY have to pee!" So this is why when most of our friends and family visit us at our home my daughter is most always pantless.
Okay so back to our baking story: after placing the muffins in the oven we decide to write out 6 fortunes for each peer in her class. So of course I have G help me with them, Which means she tells me what to say and well I just write it down [in a way that makes a little more sense to others] So our fortunes....
the first was, 'You will meet your best friend today.... ME!'
'Today you will help Mrs. Shawna!' (their teacher)
'Today you will have a yummy jelly filled muffin made by.. ME!'
'Today you will have a great day with.... ME!'
'Today you will eat your sweet muffin with.... ME!'
As you can see my daughter LOVES to be in the spotlight, while also making everyone around her smile and really shoots for the occasional giggle :) That's my girl :) Well I am off to play match the opposites and then we are back to the kitchen to make some dinner... together :)
