These Girls...and Life in General

Oh they crack me up. Yesterday I got so tickled at Maegan. She was in her car seat in the car and we were coming home from Lisa's. I heard Mallory picking at her, just general sister torment and suddenly she shrieked. I turned just in time to see Maegan pull her hand away, she'd pinched Mal's arm. Before I could scold her she glared at Mallory and said, "How'd that feel?" Mal stopped picking on her. *shakes head* She looks so sweet, so .. sweet. Not yet three, her little pony tails, long bangs, gentle blonde hair, those big blue eyes, she looks as harmless as a kitten, just so huggable. To be so rotten! She holds her own with the big girls now, I warned them this day was coming.

Mikyla is doing pretty good. She enjoys her swing and her ball goal and all the other toys on her favorites list... after school, the first thing she wants to do is shoot some hoops, then she wants to get on her computer and play on her Webkinz pages. She's sure looking forward to summer vacation. Before she can do anything here after school, whether it's playing outside or laying around inside, is to put on her pajamas. I'm gonna start calling her Hugh. I don't blame her though, I'm the same way, I'd rather wear pajamas than anything else.

Mallory is doing well too - she's gaining weight, she eats like a horse, anything and everything. She's doing pretty well with her reading, she's picked up so much. I'm proud of her. The reading came easy for Mikyla but Mal has really had to work hard to get where she's at. She's the instigator, and the tattler... she starts fights, then when the others fight back, she runs to tell me what they've done to her. She says things to crack me up all the time, and flashes those eyes, it's easy to spoil her, but mercy she can be as rotten as Maegan.

I watched Cloverfield the other night. Lisa said she was disappointed in it, but I liked it. But then I loved War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, and it's very similar.. it's kinda War of the Worlds meets 9-11 meets The Blair Witch Project.

Mom and Lisa and Nick came over for spaghetti tonight, Shan and Roy stopped by and brought Mik a birthday card, (thanks Shan, & Roy, she's spent that 20 bucks in her mind 100 times tonight - she wants to go buy another Webkinz tomorrow with it!)

Mom is doing good, she ate 2 plates of spaghetti, so she must have liked it. I think it's her turn to do dinner, don't you? Big Fat Pork Chops! She said at Lisa's yesterday she only has herself now, she'll come to our houses.. I told her she was mistaken, she has herself, Lisa, Nick, Me, Dips and these 3 girls, to get off her "lone" butt and get back in the kitchen. Pfttt only her indeed!

Carol, if you still read here, let me thank you again for the necklace you sent to Mikyla, that tickled her to death to get that package and the card. She sure does think the world of you - we all do. Thank you!

I guess I'm going to go now, get some sleep.. my eyes are getting heavy and 6:30 comes awfully early.

G'nite everyone! I love you all!
