From her lips...

Two night ago, i caught sight of Bill's mini tape recorder on his bookshelf and it gave me an idea...  I thought it would be nice for our family and friends to record themselves reading M+M's favorite stories.  I thought it would be fun for M+M to hear their loved ones' voices on demand.  So i wouldn't forget, Bill passed the tape recorder to me and put it on my nightstand.

I love sharing "kidquotes" and "kidversation", but i'm always afraid that i'm leaving something out and not getting it right...

Tonight, while i was getting MN dressed after bath, she was talking up a storm about the elaborate ball she had planned.  I saw the tape recorder, grabbed it and pressed record...

When you read this to yourself, try to imagine a sweet, raspy, excited voice..

....because everybody gets to have food at the party and everybody get to to "?" their own favorite dance and their favorite flower to put in their hair and the trees can slide it into your hair and then and then you can get you can put "?" on your dress and in your hair and brush and you always have to put your ear your ring on so your fingers can look pretty and everybody has to wear and everybody has to wear earrings and a crown.  And who has a flower crown gets to dance with the prince and i know who has a and i gets to dance with the prince.  And who has a flower crown gets to dance with the prince.

There is no way i could have gotten that right!  :)

M+M Daily Favs 6.11 - Bill, Don't read this one!

MN=doing my dinosaur paints

MR=playing with my sister and my mommy

I swear, i didn't bribe MR to say that!  ;)

MN's answer surprised me...  The "dinosaur paints" is actually a little wooden dinosaur that she is painting Bill for Father's Day.  She painted it yellow, then added brown spots (like a giraffe), then she wanted to make it rainbow...  MN likes to pile paint over paint over paint creating works of art that take days to dry.  Finally i told her that she would have to wait until tomorrow for the paint to dry, and she screamed at me that she wanted to do it "RIGHT NOW, NOT TOMORROW!"  (There was a lot of pleading, screaming and crying that i decided to leave out!)  She ended up taking a time out while MR made a beaded necklace.  I know she liked the painting part, but i thought her time out would have adversely affected the fun she had.  I'm glad she was able to recognize the fun part and remember it as a good time.

MN=finding a stick and a popped balloon and making a tree

MR=having Old McDonald's for lunch

While playing at Sandy Beach playground with friends after a picnic dinner, MN made herself a little tree.  When we got home, she insisted i put it in water.  She wants to make sure it doesn't wilt.

Yesterday, MR was demanding Old McDonald's.  With her own version of the restaurant's name, it's hard to resist her!  Today, since Bill is out of town, the girls had a treat for lunch.  I only stole a few of their fries!  ;)
