Time, Teeth, and Tears

TIME: Time has flown by. I know every mother says that, but it's true. I can't believe Carli is big enough to be in 2nd grade. It seems like just yesterday she was a little 5 lb. newborn in my arms and now she is a beautiful, independent girl! I just don't have enough time with her each day! I hope she has a wonderful time in school this year.

TEETH: Carli is starting this year with 6 new teeth! 1st grade started without losing one and through the course of the year/summer has lost 6. Another example of how big she's getting! I wonder how many teeth she will lose this year?

TEARS: Carli is 7 and I should be used to this, but the morning started with the usual tears from Mom. Even as I write this there are tears! (the reason I am wearing my big sunglasses) I love to watch my girls grow, but at the same time, I try to enjoy every little moment...they are over too soon! I love my Carli....Happy 1st Day of School!!

Pack 'em up and move 'em out

Yes, we are moving! The rumors are true. We aren't going far (just down the street) and we couldn't be happier about it! Same school, same church, same friends BUT more room!! Honestly, we are a little sad because we've had some great memories in this house (and we don't want to leave our garden!). We'll be out by the end of the month and with school starting soon, it's going to be busy :)

"Two" Sweet

Two girls that are too sweet. We had two birthdays in one week. Carli turned 7 and Mollie turned 3. It's hard to believe how fast they are growing! My little freckle-faced girls aren't babies anymore. They are such beautiful girls who are full of personality! We love them so much!! Happy Birthday to my two sweet girls!

"Moments"

1-13:Dad:You know what sounds good for dinner? Mussels.

Mollie:Check out THESE muscles! (while flexing)

Dad:I didn't mean those kind of mussels...

Mollie:I know, but it reminded me of these guys :)

12-12:Mollie:My teacher had a "nouncement".

Mom:You mean an "announcement"?

Mollie:No, a "nouncement".

12-12:All 3 girls singing..."Good tithings we pay, to you and to him"

11-12:Carli:We need to be ready "this very night."

Mom:"This very night", huh?

Carli:Yeah, you know...tonight. If you don't know that then you can NEVER be a princess!

11-12:Mollie:"Ouch, I'm having a brain sneeze!"

Mom:"You mean a brain freeze?"

Mollie:"No, a brain sneeze...it hurts cause your brain has to sneeze but it can't, because its a brain"

10-12:Regan:"I REALLY like Halloween! Except I don't like being scared, I don't like scary costumes, and I don't really like pumpkins. I guess I DON'T like Halloween...just the candy."

9-12:Mollie:"Mom, did you know it is really hard to brush your teeth with roller blades on? It is."

6-12:Regan:"My favorite part of camping is the SNORES!"

6-12:Mollie:"A tornado is the most dangerous creature in the world!"

6-12:Mollie:[*Hic-cup*] I must have the "hickedy-ups"

Regan:It's not called "hickedy-ups" Mollie, you got it all wrong...it's called "hickem-ups"

5-12:Carli:"You're just making excuses!"

Regan:"NO! I'm not, because I don't even know what that means!"

4-12:Carli:"Do you smell that? Somebody's smokin their weed!"

Mom:"Um, what!?"

Carli:"Look! Somebody's smokin their weeds!" (Pointing to the smoke from people burning the weeds in the ditches)

Mom:"Yes. Yes they are." :)

3-12:(Carli saw a truck drive next to us that had a bike hooked to it. The bike brand was "SPECIALIZED", which is the same brand Carli and Regan ride.)

Carli:"Hey! I have a SPECIALIZED!"

Regan:"Me too! I have a SPECIALIZED!"

Mollie:"Me too!"

Mom:"Actually, you don't Mollie, not yet."

Mollie:"Yes sir...I have special eyes!"

3-12:Regan:"Its so cold. I think I have frostbite."

Mom:"Its cold but you're okay. You don't have frostbite."

Regan:"Yeah, I do. I can't feel...[pause] LOTS of things!"

3-12:Mollie:"I joined a new club...the 'I ate something gross today' club."

Mom:"Oh yeah? What'd you eat?"

Mollie:"I don't know, but I eat something gross EVERY day!"

3-12:Mollie:"Mom, I finally got a 'stop sign' taped on my bunk bed. For the ladder."

Mom:"A stop sign? Okay."

Mollie:"Yep. I've always wanted one. I've been planning it for years!"

2-12:Carli:"If you make a big mess, you need to clean it up. Get toilet paper, paper towel, clorox wipe...something."

Mollie:(With a british accent)"Yes, your MAJESTY!"

2-12:Regan (who just lost her 3rd front tooth) "Look at me smile....I look like a freak!"

2-12:Mollie:"We are going to be late! It's 90 o'clock!"

2-12:Carli:"Dad, you need a 'BROmance'."

Dad:"Um, no thanks."

1-12:Mom:"You are the big winner!"

Mollie:"Of course I am. I'm the rockstar!"

1-12: I was dancing to some music in the kitchen while I was making dinner (I'm a dork, don't laugh) Mollie was watching me and told me, "Oooo, I like your moves!"

1-12:(Mollie and friend talking @ HOME ALONE)

Mollie:This movie has a bad word, so don't say it.

Friend:OK

Mollie:Wanna know what it is?

Friend:What is it?

Mollie:Can't tell you, its a bad word.

12-11:Regan: (sniff, sniff)....it stinks like Christmas!

9-11:Regan:"Why am I so funny? Was I just born this way? I think so."

9-11:Mollie:"Is Layla sick?"

Mom:"I don't think so...why?"

Mollie:"I felt her nose and it wasn't wet."

5-11:Regan:"When I grow up I want to be just like Dad...only I want to smell better."

Mollie:"No, I don't eat poop...anymore!"

3-11:Mom:"Your room is such a mess I can't even walk in here."
Mollie:"I can....my feet are smaller than yours."

1-11: Regan:"No burping & no farting starting now, wait....{toot} ...now."

12-11: Mom:"Just promise me you won't act like that when you're older."
Carli:"I can't promise you that mom, I'm just a kid."

11-10: Regan:"You are darling."
Mollie:"Yeah, and I'm funny too."

8-10: Mom (while washing wall)"You did a number on this wall!"
Mollie:"Not numbers mom, just colors"

Mom:"Good morning to you too."
Mollie:"I didn't say good morning, I said your breath stinks."

6-10: Regan:"We can say "fart", it's spanish for "toot".

5-10: Layla (our dog) had a chick cornered in the yard. We were afraid she was going to eat it. The girls were worried. Once safely back in the coop, the girls said, "Layla thought the chick tasted like chicken!"

Mollie:"I'm not a slowpoke, I'm a fastpoke"

4-10: Mollie (while it's hailing) "Look, it's raining balls!"

Mollie:"Okay I won't. Oops! I just did!"

9-09: Regan:"I know how many pounds you are, 80 cents!"

9-09: Regan watching a male dog going to the restroom:"That puppy has a broken leg, I just saw it lift it."

9-09: Regan describing a pencil sharpener:"You put the thing in it and it peels the skin off."

8-09: Regan:"I'm so smart, I know everything I know!"

8-09: Carli:What if a boy came up to me and said "Ooo, she's hot!" (and so it begins!!)

7-09: Regan: "Is it fast Sunday?"
Mom: "No."
Regan: "Oh, it's slow Sunday."

7-09: Mollie: "Layla's breasts stink...we need to brush her teeth."

7-09: Regan:"I have so many mosquito bites...I must taste like candy!"

6-09: Regan:"Mom, you're pretty."
Mom:"Thank you."
Regan:"I'm not done, you're pretty silly."

6-09: Mollie was crying. I asked her what happened and Regan answered:"She fell off her bike, well actually...I pushed her."

5-09: Mollie was mad at me about something...she told me, "Mom, you aren't invited to my birthday!"

3-09: Carli:"Mom, if you want someone to come over, just start vacuuming...someone always rings the doorbell when you vacuum."

3-09: Mollie watching the TV:"That's Obama...he steals our money!"

2-09: Mollie playing the animal guessing game:This animal has sharp "teets" (teeth)

2-09: Regan:If dinosaurs are "stinct", I bet they smell like poop.
