Poor Daddy can't fix hair

Last night Leah finally asked me to put two pig tails in her hair. She never lets me so I was excited that she wanted them. I fixed her hair before she went to bed, knowing she would ask Matt this morning for pig tails before school. I figured it was already separated and all he would have to do was resmooth it out and fix the bands.

So I was surprised when I got this message from matt this AM.

"This morning was awful. We were so late to school because Leah wanted ponytails, which I cannot do. Leah kept yelling 'ALL I EVER WANTED WAS PONY TAILS FOR SCHOOL" with hannah in the background going 'we're going to be late, Leah. I don't have to have pony tails. I'm a big girl. Daddy canit do pony tails. Only Mommy" OYYYYYYYYY"

Hee hee. guess Matt needs me around for something!

Take care of yourself

I am good about posting things on facebook, but always forget to blog them for my laughing enjoyment later. Thanks to facebook, I can go back.

I was putting the girls down one night and gave Leah her goodnight hug. She leaned in and really softly and sweetly she said " take care of yourself, ok mommy? You be strong."

What the heck? Love those girls.

Love for LaLa

My sis is still watching the girls one day a week and they this is what they said to her today.
H: Lala! you are getting big like daddy!
L: hannah!, Be nice!

She said she wasnt quite sure how to take that...

no dinner for me tonight, guys

I wanted the girls to go to bed easily the other night so I had not let them nap that day. I gave them a bath while Matt went and picked up dinner. After I got her dressed, Leah laid down to watch tv on my bed while I finished with hannah. I did not know she fell asleep until I went to get her for dinner 5 minutes later.

So, at 6:30 I wanted her to get up so i woke her and took her to the table and went to get Hannah situated while Matt made the plates. Then I hear, "Ummm, Allyson?"

And I looked at Leah...



I put her straight to bed.
Hannah felt privileged because she did not have to go to bed, so after she ate she said she was gonna lay on her mat (from school) and watch a movie. I went to get her a pull up in case she fell asleep and this is what I found when I came back


Early bedtime!!

modeling new dresses

i have been looking for some Easter dresses for the girls. I went to Kohls about a month ago and Leah found a "beautiful" white chiffon like dress with pink hearts. And it was expensive. She was stuck on it though.

It was still there when we back a few days ago and she was determined. It was on sale this time, but I do not dress them in those fancy frilly dresses and it was more than I wanted to spend. I gave her a choice. She could have that dress but had to give up her ($5 little toy) special toy. or we could find something else and she could have both. "I bet we can find another pretty dress" she said. Good girl.

I ended up finding 2 cute little sun dresses that they can wear through the summer. When we got home they insisted on trying them on. And the girls were obsessed with themselves. Narcistic much? I could not tear them away from the mirrors. Hannah went and got some heels that she thought would match and "fixed her hair" (like Rambo, but whatever). And they kept asking me to take pictures of them, at which point they would strike a "prom pose" together. They make me laugh.
These are their "Im so cute" faces. I couldnt get them to smile regular.

Cant give up those headphones

Poor baby... She may be mad at me for this one day.

Confused about meal time

Conversation between Hannah and I

H: Mommy, Im ready for dinner
Me: you mean lunch, baby. What do you want for lunch?
H: Dinner.
Me: Ok, what do you want for dinner?
H: A snack.
Me: (?!?!)
