Zofia: Mommy, a woman and a lady are not the same thing.
Me: Really, Zofia? What is the difference between a woman and a lady?
Zofia: A woman is a fat lady and a lady is a skinny lady.

Piggie tails

This is the first time that Maggie kept her pigtails in longer than a couple of minutes. Usually, she takes them out as soon as she gets in the car, but today she kept them in all day! Happy Mothers' Day to me!

OMG OMG OMG - the cuteness is KILLING me!

After and then later after

another kind of garden

Harvest time

Patience

We were at a restaurant last week and ordered Maggie a lemonade. About a second after the waiter left, Maggie said, "Where is my lemonade? I waited as hard as I could and I can't wait any longer!"

ps. when you read her quote, remember that she does not say her Rs yet, so they come out like Ws...

Springtime is here!

Hurrah! The girls and I planted our spring garden over spring break. We've got lots of different herbs, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash and beans. Here are some photos of the garden when we first planted it almost three weeks ago, and some taken this morning. We've been getting a nice bit of rain and it is so gratifying to see the plants thriving. We also planted a lemon tree and a Satsumo orange tree which already have some little fruit on them!

Maggie is Three!

My genius of a daughter!

new for you!

A video and a funny...

First the funny:
Me: How did I get so lucky to have two such wonderful girls for my daughters?
Maggie: Because we're just kids and we can't leave.

God love 'er!

Anatomy

Roger accidentally scratched Maggie on the leg when he was putting on her jammies tonight; and Maggie said, "Daddy, you hurt my skeleton!"

Wierd science

Zofia asked me today, "Mommy, why does cheese melt, but chicken doesn't?"

Future architect?

Zofia came downstairs at Babcia & Dziadzio's house yesterday and said, "Mommy, did you know that the floor upstairs is the ceiling downstairs?"

Hay fever

Maggie explained to me today that Uncle Andre's pool turned green because it had "an allergy", but then he fixed it.

a long time coming...

Here are a couple of recent funnies.

Zofia: I don't wanna go to sleep. I'm not tired.
Mommy: I know, Honey, but you need sleep to be rested and healthy.
Zofia: I don't need sleep. I never sleep.
Mommy: You don't?! What do you do all night with you your eyes closed?
Zofia: That's not sleep, that's a really long blink.


Zofia: Mommy, why can't we go to the library first?
Mommy: Because Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us, and it would take us too long to get to the library and then we wouldn't have very much time to look for books...
Zofia: Yada, yada, yada.

Author

Zofia wrote a book...that is she dictated and illustrated a book. Here it is. Forgive the sometimes sloppy penmanship, I had to write really fast to keep up with the flow.






"They found another rainbow and they found their friends Hoodie and Hawdie. They found tater tots. They all drew a picture and painted a picture"

"They drove away in their van and saw a tiger. The tiger roared! It didn't eat them because they put it in a cage. They drove to a school and did lots of work and lived happily ever after."

Maggie's Yay God

Yay God for ears to hear with and nose to smell with and mouth to eat with and eyes to see with and hair to rub with (rubs Daddy's head).
