quick stories

two funny things happened yestarday. i want to start writing down the funny day to day things the girls say so i don't forget. i got one from each.
at the store i told halle to think of something she wanted for me to make for dinner this week. halle describes the perfect dinner, enough to make me drool.....chicken , stuffing, mashed potatoes, and GRAVY (last thanksgiving was the first and last time halle had gravy and she fell in love, to put it mildly, she was drinking it like it was soup, saying whats this called again. oh, gravy, i love it soooo much)....so i buy all the ingreidents, she holds the gravy packets the whole time at the store and in the car.....we make the dinner, it takes like an hour, when its all ready i say, what do you want on your plate..."just gravy, in a bowl"....i explain why you can't just eat gravy. ok, so she eats it on mashed potatoes and asks for more gravy a couple times....kiera just had chicken, dipped in bbq sauce.....so i had to ask, "halle, why did you pick this dinner and then not even really eat it." halle, "i really just wanted the gravy and i don't really even like stuffing, but wanted to shove it up the chicken's butt"...yeah, thats a quote.....

a few days ago i switched all the girls' summer clothes out for their winter stuff. kiera looked through the boxes of hand me downs and took all the size 4 shirts and most of the size 5 stuff, so in the end, her drawers were full. this morning they went to get dressed and i hear kiki crying in her room saying she has nothing to wear. i keep saying, just find something, i know you have clothes, but she keeps on crying. i go in to see what the problem was. "kiki, you have tons of clothes, what are you talking about?" kiki says, "i can't wear this stuff, i need dresses!".....so i go get her a fancy winter church dress to wear today. but i don't really have winter play dresses, the way i have little summer play dresses that she wore everyday since spring. so i look at tom and say, you know what i'm going to end up doing for her.....pulling back out her summer dresses and letting her wear them with leggings and shirts underneath.....i can't stand the thought of her not feeling feminine and like a beauty queen everyday, so, thats exactly what i did, and she was sooo happy to have all her summer dresses back......and while out walking pepper this evening, a random neighbor said to me, don't you think its too cold out for her to be wearing that?......well, since i went through this dresses only phase with halle, i know i am going to be hearing that ALOT this winter!
