Auburn girls

Of course we are huge Auburn fans. And the girls are completely following in our footsteps. Yes we are brainwashing. We went to Auburn this past weekend and on top of the wonderful win we really enjoyed walking around campus with our mini cheerleaders. Here are some pics from the weekend, and then some random pics of them in their Auburn dresses!

Turrets anyone?

This video is funny to me because Hannah is mad at Leah for singing the alphabet song and Leah could care less and happily sings anyway. Of course, mid song she sees a truck and she has replaced her TR's with F's. Hilarious...

M&M catastrophe

I am in the process of potty training the girls, and M&Ms are the reward of choice. I have a candy jar (sealed) in the bathroom for when they go "pee pee in the potty". They only get them at that time.

I have a huge Sams bag of M&Ms in the freezer, and I felt like I needed a few one day. As I was getting the bag out, a TON of them spilled onto the floor. Luckily the dogs were locked in my bedroom.

It was time for me to get the girls up for nap and I thought they were going to enjoy this. I went in Leah's room and told her there were a bunch of M&Ms on the floor and I needed her help cleaning them up. OKAY! she said and quickly ran to the kitchen where she stared... in awe.

Hannah was next and I told her the same thing. "Ceem up Ceem up" she sang as she literally skipped to the kitchen where Leah was still standing in awe.

I had to give them bowls so they could pick up some candies and "clean". Two went in the bowls, then two their mouths.

Dont think I am a terrible mom here and let them eat their fill. I did go get the vacuum and got the rest up so they probably had about 10. But I think they were in heaven.

Little Quirks

At this age the girls crack me up constantly. It always amazes me what they have picked up and then start repeating. I wish I could get everything on video so I always remember it but since I find most everything amusing that seems a little ambitious. So this is some of the things they say/do,

ThankYou/Welcome! - Leah says this if she is giving or taking something from you. Sometimes she just says "welcome" when forcing you to take something from her.

Buzz gone - my poor Hannah has been traumatized by our Rhoomba or little robitic vacuum (named buzz). I ran him one day in the dining room while they were eating in the kitchen. They kind of freaked. I had to put buzz back in the master bedroom where he "sleeps" and now whenever they walk by the HALL that goes to the master, mainly Hannah actually, she informs me that Buzz is bye bye, gone, night night, sleeping, or off. I tried to hide him but then they were concerned where he went so now he is where he should be but Hannah wont go near him. Yes, its personified. Sad thing is we will be out somewhere and she will randomly say "Buzz gone". Ok Hannah, I get it.

"I fix it" - both my children are very OCD and little things really bother them. Whether it is something out of place, or they have a spot on their shirt, they will let me know with a BIG uh OH! So I guess I got in the habit of telling them I would fix whatever was wrong. "Its ok, Mommy will fix it". Now Leah says it for everything too which is good because she does attempt to correct the situation as best she can. Spill her cereal? "I fix it. Napkin?... (wipes it up)... All Better!" Thank you Leah. (rather, thankyou/welcome)

Gate Gate!- this goes with the OCD but both girls must close the gate at the top of the stairs inside or out. If it is open they get very upset. At least they dont try to go barreling down the steps...

"Auburn song?" - This is so pitiful but one day I was singing the Auburn fight song to Leah. I sang it once. Now she asks for the "auburn song" frequently. Her other requests are "tinkle tinkle" (twinkle twinkle obviously), "Jesus song" (Jesus loves me), "pat cake". "Ity bitsy pider", Baby song (this is normally "hush little baby" but has lately also been "hes got the whole world - because He has the Itty Bitty Babies in His hands), Rock Baby (rockabye baby), Elmos song (which is just Lalala la Elmos world), and ABC song. I am not allowed to sing a song that she does not approve of. If I try she will quickly tell me which one she prefers. Hannah wont let me sing AT ALL unless it is Itsy Bitsy Spider which is only when she is in the mood :)

This doesnt scratch the surface but this post is long enough :) At least I will remember these little things now!

She still looks like a mini me

I posted a similar post about a year ago but thought I would do a comparison again. I still think Hannah resembles me a lot. Probably the eyes. Again, this is a picture from an old movie of when I was little, stilled on the computer so its not the best quality but you get the point.

Hannah is about 2 months older than I am in these photos

Bible Characters

I know my videos are a little Leah heavy but Hannah never sits still long enough for me to tape her doing much other than running or yelling for Mommy, let alone actually getting her to concentrate on something other than playing with the camera or phone while i try to tape her, so Leah is the performer at the moment.

Here is one of her telling us who did what :) Noah, Jesus, Jonah, and Moses
