Well I have some really random items to add tonight. I am really so behind on my blogging. I still want to blog about my super-terrific fantastic trip to Connecticut this summer, my fun night with Aimee at Witches Night Out, and many other things. Oh yeah - my kids Halloween. What a mom! But, for tonight (who am I trying to kid, I am NEVER going to get caught up) I will share some funny things the girls have said.
At the girls' preschool they are given awards when they complete certain milestones in the classroom. One of these is earning your "alphabet crown." To earn the crown you must be able to recognize all of your lowercase letters and their sounds as well as know all of the vowels and the sounds they make. Maryn was the first to earn her alphabet crown and she was proud of herself to say the least. She is a bit of a competitive soul. Madelyn earned hers the following week, but by that time Maryn had earned her "blending badge." To earn a blending badge you must be able to blend two letter words together such as "ax" and "ul." She really squelched Madelyn's excitement when she announced that they were no longer twins because she was "way ahead of Maddie." Oh the competition in this house.
Yesterday, Madelyn was really pushing my buttons and was on the verge of a timeout about ten times. I had finally had enough and sent her to her room. Now I don't generally send my kids to their room because I don't want them to think of their room as a punishment. But at that point she was in danger of getting a spanking (something I never do) so I thought it best to send her out of sight. A few minutes later I can hear her talking in her room. I went to the door and this is what I heard. "I hate this castle." "I just want Prince Charming to come and take me away from this horrible castle." "There are so many rules in this castle." Can you even stand the DRAMA? She is only five. Seriously, WHAT.AM.I.GOING.TO.DO?????
P.S. Lest ye think he has one child smarter than the other, Dan wanted to mention that the reason Madelyn got her alphabet crown late was because she was sick. Apparently a very important fact.

That is hilarious! I loved that Dan wanted to make sure we had all the facts. They are so cute and so grown up.
I am glad you posted that, too cute. You are definitely Glenda the good witch though, whereas I'm the one who gets smooshed by the house. Can't wait for tomorrow!! Oh, and are you ever going to get around to spelling my name right on your link list? Sheesh lady!
Love ya!
Oh I am a sucky friend. Yes, it is fixed. I meant to do it much sooner. Sorry friend!
Wow! That is hilarious!! I have one word for you....TROUBLE!!
Tell the girls congratulations! They're already smarter than me... ;-)
I knew they were adorable and clever! Now we have verification they are brilliant! I cannot believe Maryn came our of her shell enough to work with the teachers on those sounds. Good for her!
