Our Lil Earth

Sleeping Beauty to Tim: "I love you more than outer space!"
Tim: "Wow!  How much do you love outer space?"
Sleeping Beauty: "Wellllll, I just really love this lil earth we live on."

So precious.

Junie B. Jones Day

A couple of weeks ago our local library had a Junie B. Jones Day.  The kids cut out glasses and wore them for a minute (see above).

We listened to a story about Junie B. Jones and checked out some books.

They also posed with Creepy Junie B. Jones  It was great.  Kids began to cry and scream and if I wasn't an adult I probably would have as well.   Truth be told, I screamed on the inside.  She was just scary-looking.  Sleeping Beauty said it best when she said, "I was scared but knew we needed a picture!"  HAHA

Oh, Sleeping Beauty!

Those of you that read here a lot, read at my old blog and know us in person know one thing to be true: Sleeping Beauty is a tiny and mighty force to reckoned with.  She cannot be tamed and her ideas and thoughts are hers and she will not be deterred.  She voices her opinions on nearly everything and has been known to call out fashion disasters in public.  She is as smart as whip and takes no prisoners.  :)  


Here's a little taste of this spicy diva:


Back in February she started a sentence with the following, "I'm not bein' no rude but..."


**
Also, this past February she said, "I'm gonna put these pants in the dishwasher.  There was a big wreck in the bathroom."


Translation: She got her pajamas wet carrying her humidifier!  She needed them washed and dried in the washing machine and dryer - not the dishwasher.  And the spill was the "big wreck."
**


Back in March she asked me why I married her daddy.  I quoted one of her favorite movies "Enchanted" and said, "Because he is my True Love's Kiss."

Sleeping Beauty deadpanned while squinting her eyes, "Daddy's no prince!!"

**

In March little sister said to big sister, "I'm a big kid now.  Now I'm going to get married."  Cinderella just stood there and blinked her eyes.  (If you know her well you know exactly what I am talking about!!)


Also one night back in March we had this exchange at the dinner table:  


Sleeping Beauty: "Princess Furry Pants wants some dinner."


Me: "OK.  Give her some."  (Usually this is discouraged.)


Tim:  "Oh, don't punish her.  She doesn't know!!"  


Sleeping Beauty: "She likes it."


Tim: "I've seen her eat her own poop."


Ah, the word "poop" spoken at dinner.  Dreamy.  :o/


**
Exerskill = exercise


Back in April Sleeping Beauty was banging on the floor.  "Is the devil under here?!"


Me: "Well, kind of.  He's in the ground.  He didn't listen to God and was cast out of heaven for being bad."


Sleeping Beauty: "Jesus died on the cross for us!"  (Big smile.)  I love that little girl, as hard headed as she is!


**
 She loves the movie "Sleeping Beauty" and has for a long time.  One of her favorite things about the movie is Maleficent, the evil lady that turns into a dragon at the end.  Sleeping Beauty (mine, not the movie one) said a few weeks ago, "Every night when I go to sleep I see her."  HAHAHA


**
Back in the spring I was in Target and went to buy Cinderella a new bathing suit cover up.  Sleeping Beauty piped up, "I've been 'plainin' about mine for a while..."  
'plainin' = complaining


**
She has started a sentence with this more than once: "When this house catches on fire..."


Whaaa?!


**
Cam-ah-wahl = caramel


Kin-nee-key-ya = Uniqua from "The Backyardigans"


**
This summer the girls got their ears pierced.  Cinderella nearly fainted  and Sleeping Beauty sat in the seat, closed her eyes and smiled, "I've waited two long years for this!!"
**


"Mommy, can I have a criminal pencil?"
criminal pencil = mechanical pencil 

Using her "criminal pencil." 

**

Sleeping Beauty had some money sent to her by some relatives.  This morning she held it in her hands, looked down at the money and then back at me.  "I don't wanna give this to the Lord's Supper" (contribution at church).


Me:  "I won't make you.  That money is a gift."


Sleeping Beauty: "...Because God has enough money. He can have anything.  Why do we always have to give Him money?!"


Me: "Well, to keep the church going, to pay the preacher, to help....."


Interrupting me she says, "Every time I turn around I'm giving money in the plate!  Next time I will slap the plate to the floor!" (I dread this coming Sunday now.)


She is too funny.  :o) and :o/  Please pray for us all.  Seriously.


**
And finally, a quote from my prince: "People seem to enjoy what you write.  I'm not one of 'em but I appreciate they're out there."  


!?!?!


**
Hope you at least got a chuckle out of all this.  :)

Quotes and sayings and conversations from the past few weeks from my gals:


Today, when we went to get  in our iced up car to go to school today Cinderella said, "Mommy? I don't think we're in ***** anymore. This seems like Alaska to me!"


Also this morning, "What is peanut butter made out of?"

"The best part of Princess Furry Pants getting a bath is she doesn't like it and I think that's so funny."  - Sleeping Beauty

Upon the dog getting angry with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty said, "Weeeelllllll she doesn't bite me because I bite her back." 

WHAT?!

While doing some cleaning I found an unopened packet of aTaco Bell mild sauce in Cinderella's toy box.  That girl keeps everything!

Sleeping Beauty apparently got up and took her makeup bag in for her nap. (It was all she wanted for Christmas once she found out that watch ($275) was off the list. No makeup was on her but some was on the sheets (I washed just the day before). She was gripping a lip balm in one hand and a makeup brush in the other. HAHA

We have an iRobot (vacuum) and it went past one of the barriers it wasn't supposed to. Sleeping Beauty came running up to me tattling, saying, "Mommy! MOMMY! She 'is-obeyed' you!!!!"

The girls were entertaining themselves, making more pictures for their baby cousin who is to arrive sometime in the beginning of February. They have been making him things since we found out he was on his way!

The King of the Crazies told the dog she was fat and I kid you not, she went straight to bed.

Jealousy is an ugly beast. Sleeping Beauty "killed" a paper snowflake her big sister made. She said she did it "Because it was awesome." It's hard to be little and not know how to make awesome stuff!

The THREE YEAR OLD has road rage from THE BACKSEAT!  She even shakes her fists and yells, "Get outta my waaaaay!"

"Do crocodiles run their own businesses?" - Sleeping Beauty

Me: Sleeping Beauty, Do you need another napkin?
Sleeping Beauty: I've got two. Fuhgeddaboudit!

I was sitting on the couch and heard Sleeping Beauty over by the Christmas tree. "Now, let's see if I can get all up in the Christmas tree...OW! My hair!! I can't get out!"

We are raising very polite girls. Little Sleeping Beauty knocked over a sippy cup of milk and said, "Oh, why excuse me, milk! I am so sorry."

I overheard Cinderella talking to Sleeping Beauty while putting on her coat and hood, "Now keep your hoodie on. I don't want you getting sick." Awww!

Sleeping Beauty to Cinderella before Christmas: "I bet you are on the naughty list too."

Sometimes I am just left speechless. My three year old is freaking out because I didn't let the dog get married. WHAT?! I just don't know if I will make it the rest of my life at this rate! ;o)

We were at a mall with the girls and my mom. Santa was holding a newborn and Sleeping Beauty yelled, "Is THAT Baby JESUS?!?!?!"

Me: Girls, we are probably getting our Christmas tree tomorrow.
Cinderella: Yay!
Sleeping Beauty: Can we please get a gray* tree?

*Gray = snow on the tree

Sleeping Beauty was complaining and I said, "You are falling apart! Do I need to take you and get a new Sleeping Beauty?"
Sleeping Beauty: "Yes. They should have a new me at Target."
Me: HAHAHA

Part of Sleeping Beauty's prayer one night, "...and make the diseases go away. Thanks for sharp cheese. Amen."

Quote of the day from Cinderella on Thanksgiving: "When 'Crazies' see turkey, we have to eat it!"

I witnessed Sleeping Beauty lecturing her big sister on proper newborn care. It was frightening. Not so much what she said, but the fact that she backed over and then stepped on the baby's head, all the while baby talking and lecturing Cinderella.

"Jingle Bells" a la Sleeping Beauty

Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright  CRY
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

This is the last of the Halloween festivities posts.

Daddy helping Sleeping Beauty get started:

 Excited!  

 Sisters
(Love Sleeping Beauty's face here!)

I am not sure why Cinderella is atop her pumpkin.  Maybe waiting for it to turn into her carriage?!

We used these: The Kid's Fright Lights.  They are perfect for these two!

 Getting to work:

 Cinderella getting to work too!

These little pegs are great.  The King of the Crazies hollowed out the pumpkins and we helped them poke holes through the patterns and then we let them loose!  It is a great way to have pumpkins that the little kids can do!

Even the three year old can do it!

Her eyelashes are ridiculous!  :)

 Puppy friends:

CHEESE!

 Cinderella and her masterpiece (a big bat with little bats on the sides):

 Sleeping Beauty and her masterpiece (a scary face):

We had a great Halloween (month).  :o)

Sleeping Beauty says, "Jesus" and sometimes it sounds remarkably like "Cheez-Its."  And vice versa.  She was dancing and "spriting" about and singing about Cheez-Its the other night after her bath and then I realized she was singing about Jesus.  :)

I am thankful for my warm house.
