Eight randoms.

1.  Both of my girls are way into Super Why! right now.  I know I shouldn't let them watch it as much as they do, but I think it's adorable to hear Londyn say "Calling all Supa Weedas!  Calling all Supa Weedas!"

2.  Last night for our FHE activity we played Don't Eat Pete.  Somehow the cute board that Marie made for me years ago has disappeared.  So Grandma and Jacey put this substitute together for last night's game.

Jacey, if you couldn't tell, was in charge of the legs and hair. 

(By the way, if you've never played this game you should.  You put a candy on each face, then somebody leaves the room and everybody else decides which one is "Pete".  Then the person who left the room comes back in and starts picking up candies.  When he/she picks up "Pete" everybody yells "Don't eat Pete!" and your turn is over.  It really stinks though when you pick up Pete first.)

3.  Related to #2, last night Londyn was afraid to start picking up candies.  She didn't want to eat Pete, so she wouldn't choose any of them.

4.  Londyn's new catchphrase is "I don't think so!"  She throws it in a the oddest moments and it makes me laugh.  For instance, this morning as I was cutting their pancakes, Jacey said "I want maple syrup."  Londyn replied with "Maple syrup?  I don't think so!"

5.  Jacey is refusing to go get her hair cut.  Which is surprising to me because she used to love going to get a haircut.  She has recently become obsessed with the idea of wearing her hair in a bun.  And of course, her hair isn't long enough for that.  So I told her that we could grow it back out, but that she needs to go get a trim.  No way.  To her, a haircut is a haircut and it will mean she can't wear a bun so she wants nothing to do with it.  I need a good idea for outsmarting her on this one.

6.  So. . . remember that little bear cake from the last post?  We didn't really have any occasion to eat it, so it has been sitting on the counter for the last 10 days.  Until last night.  We cut into it before we threw it away, just to see how dried out it was.  Well . . .  one thing led to another and before I knew it we were all covered in cake and smearing it in each other's faces.  Well, except my mom and dad.  Fuddy duddies.  I did end up getting cranky though when Will just HAD to have the last laugh and smeared caked in my face as I was getting the girls in the tub - sending massive amounts of cake chunk into the bath water.  Grrrrr.

7.  We took the front off of Londyn's crib on Sunday.  (Apparently it's a "day bed."  Mostly it's a crib without the front on it.)  She loves it.  She thinks it's so cool that she can climb in all by herself.  We didn't really have any reason to do it other than the fact that she's in underwear at night now, so I wanted her to be able to get up if she wakes up to go potty.  We told her that the rule is that if she gets out then we'll put it right back on.  So far she has stayed in bed when we put her down.  It's been a way easier transition than with Jacey.  Jacey took that new freedom and ran with it.  Londyn though is content, for once, to follow the rules.

8.  My folks are getting close to being done with their house.  Which makes me want to head over there and break something.
