Things that Happened Today

Things I heard Turtle say before noon:
"I'm not going to church with you, you bad woman!"
"Daddy, when can we start painting our nails?"
"Mommy, when can I dye my hair?"
"I want to go to a private school!"

-------------------------------

Twin Daddy asked the girls if they wanted to help him hang Christmas lights outside.  They both said, "Yes" and immediately began talking about changing into new outfits to help.  Monkey put on her current daily staple - an red satiny Annie dress costume, complete with wig and shiny black patent leather mary janes.  Turtle put an orange NASA astronaut jumper, with brown boots.  They are walking around like that in the front yard now, checking for burned out lights.

----------------------------------

A woman at church complimented me on how well-behaved the girls were during the service.  "Really?"  I said.

I found out our 7-year-old neighbor got an iPad. Granted, it is a combined birthday and Hanukkah gift from parents and grandparents.  But still.  I may ask her mom to hide it from my kids when they are over so they don't get any ideas.  You've heard the things Turtle says.
