My Girls

We were eating ice cream outside tonight.  L comes up to me smiling and says, "Yum."  Kj pipes in and says, "Mom, it's even better than she says."

Last night we were eating outside and just finishing up supper.  Kj tells us, "Mama and Daddy you go sit in the hammock and I am going to go into the house and get a surprise treat for you."  Earlier in the day she had found a packet of Smarties, so I figured that would be the treat.  We dutifully go into the hammock with L and wait patiently...a long time.  We see from our position that the fridge is opening...for a long time.  Then I think I hear spoons, or some sort of silverware.  Kj emerges with a tub of yogurt and spoons for all.  She then has to go use the bathroom.  In the mean time L climbs out of the hammock and starts to work on distributing Kj's treat.  She opens up the yogurt and licks the lid clean.  It is hilarious to watch, but we want Kj to be able to do the distribution so we call for L to stop, and put the lid on.  She does and the yogurt drops under the table.  Not too much is lost, but everything is now getting sticky...  Kj finally comes back again and starts using her small spoon to scoop the treat into our glasses (milk all gone, that's what we do for ice cream).  She gives Kevin about 3 scoops, which is about as many bites of yogurt.  Brings over his, heads back for mine, brings mine, then L's, then hers.  She finally climbs into the hammock with us to finish up our treat. 

Tonight in the hammock, Kj asked if she could get out and swing us.  Then she wanted to get back in, while it was still swinging.  I had my doubts, I thought she would topple over when the hammock with three came towards her, but she bounded in laughing.

L's quotes:
"Get it out please." (referring to L's bike)
"Eat Out Side."  (daily request)
"Oh tay."
"Oh."
Told L we were not going to Taco Bell, " 'doba, please," she replies.

Sweet memories!
