My Valley Girl

Lately Mike and I have been saying Emily is our teenager. She stays awake in bed until late and then sleeps in until 9. What four year old sleeps until 9? She is also sounding like a valley girl from the 80's. She says stuff like, (and you totally have to remember what valley girls sounded like)...
I'll ask Allyson and question and Emily will respond for her...
Em:"Ally's like, I don't think so mommy"
or
Em: "Ally's like totally a mess mommy"
It's so funny. We have no idea where she gets all of this. If it weren't for her love of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse we might have to question her age.

Simply Michael....

Every other Tuesday I have a group of women over for bunco. It's part of our women's group so we can have quite a few women in our house. So Michael is in charge of the girls upstairs while I am hosting. Every night I tell Michael to get what he wants BEFORE it starts as he doesn't like to come down when everyone gets here. And every week, I get a special "message" asking for more tea or coffee. The first week, it was notes on a paper floating down the stairs, which had the women laughing. Then the following week I was playing and the phone rang, it was Mike on his cell phone upstairs calling me to ask for more tea. I nicely told him I didn't have time and hung up. So a few minutes later, much to all the womens enjoyment, Michael had found a tape measurer and had attached his empty coffee mug to it and was lowering it down from upstairs. I felt that had earned him the tea...plus I didn't want to see what he would do next.

Then last night, we had friends over for dinner and the girls decided to go get ice cream for everyone. So while we were gone, some meat salesmen came to our door and hit Mike up. They sale meat like Omaha Steaks does, in bulk, lots of steaks, chicken, hamburger etc. Anyway, I pull in and there is Mike, outside with the credit card. And to top it off, the guy selling had no teeth and my friend said her brother had bought some from that company and it was awful. We told Mike this but that didn't deter him. You see, Mike is the best saleman I know, by far. But he is also a sucker to a good sale too. So I enclosed a picture of all the meat he bought, which by the way he made me put away and we had just bought groceries, it was great trying to find room.

Easter Weekend
















The girls had a lot of fun this weekend. We had an Easter egg hunt at church on Saturday. Our church had a 0-3 hunting area and a 4 and up area. Allyson's group went first and she totally knew how to put the eggs in her basket, however Ally detests grass so she didn't last long. Emily was super excited but her area was in a playground/field. She got about 8 eggs and then handed her basket to her friend Tessa, who had filled her own, and let her finish her basket as well. Emily just wanted to play on the playground. So, in their own way, they enjoyed it. Then we went to church the next day and had a quiet day. All the family was out of town so we had friends over for easter dinner. I hope you all enjoy the pictures of the girls. Sorry if there are too many, they all turned out cute!
