Overheard

This morning, I happened to overhear something Juliana said to Kathryn. They were playing in their room and Kathryn was singing. Juliana said, "Kathryn you should be on American Idol." That's all I heard, but it was very cute. She was so sincere. They are a couple of little divas I suppose!

Words to live by

So the girls sometimes say the funniest things. This morning Kathryn happened to mention that while she was playing with the other kids at volley ball one of the moms asked her to share and she said no. I gave her a look and then she thought she might try to change her story. Fast forward through a conversation about how they are bigger and they need to share blah blah blah. Then Kathryn says "We aren't big enough yet." My reply, "Yes you are!" Then Juliana adds her two cents with this gem, "Mom we are medium and you are way bigger than us." I know what she meant, but still the reality is that I am way bigger than them. It was just funny and I had to chuckle. Now for the next phrase that has been making me laugh lately. When they get really hot the say, "I sweat." I have tried to teach them that the correct way is to say I'm sweating but it just hasn't sunk in. I think Juliana was the first one to actually use the phrase. Usually she just says, "Mama I sweat." I am not sure why, but it is really funny. I think probably it sounds funnier in real life than it does in print though.

Hairdo

Earlier this week, we were getting ready to go out and run some errands. I asked Kathryn how she wanted her hair and she said piggytail braids. So I got started. When I had both pigtails in and one braided, Kathryn decided she wanted to leave them like they were, one braided and one not. At first I was going to say no, then I thought why not? I said are you sure, and she said yes. I was twirling her unbraided pigtail and that gave her another idea. So in the end this is the hairdo that came out. Of course, Juliana wanted the same one! Kathryn is on the left and Juliana on the right.

Happy 4th of July

We had a great holiday here in Nashville. We started with playing volleyball at the church with a lot of friends. Then we had lunch and swimming. To finish it off we went to a BBQ with tons of food and even more good company. For all the fun, I only remembered to take the camera with us to the BBQ. So that's the part you will actually get to see. I hope you all had a great holiday and were able to reflect on the wonderful blessings that we have here in America. So I just tried to upload some pictures and I think blogger is having some issues. I will have to try again tomorrow. TTFN
