matching

Lydda Grace and Evelyn love to match. If we're together on Saturday and talk about it (or if one of the girls is having a clothing meltdown on Sunday morning) we let them match each other at church. For example, today they both wore smocked Clemson dresses. It is beginning to escalate a bit because we were just getting ready for night church and LG didn't want to change clothes unless she could match Evelyn! So I called Amanda to make sure we're on the same page tonight.... this is the conversation LG and I just had while we were changing her clothes.......

LG: I love Evelyn the most, she is my beeeeessst friend!
Mama: I'm so glad, she's a sweet friend.
LG: I know she's really sweet to me. We matched in big church today.
Mama: Were you both wearing your Clemson dresses and mary janes?
LG: Yes, she had on tiny mary janes because her feet are tiny, but I love her anyway.

Wade's first painting (i must admit he didn't actually write his own name :))

Wade-ism

We've been trying to teach Wade to say, "No thank you" when he doesn't want something (instead of squealing or yelling or something like that).

The other day I put him down to bed and apparently he wasn't ready to go to sleep because I left his room and heard him crying, "nooooo dank oooooo Mama!!! Noo dank ooooooo!!"

Lydda Grace-ism

LG is supposed to be napping.... I heard her calling and went to check, she has a cold and had gotten some nose goop on her pillow.

LG: "Look Mama!!!! Look at that spot on my pillow!!!" (in a very excited voice and with a smile)
Me: "Oops, looks like some stuff from your nose let me get that" (I wipe it off and flip her pillow over)
Now Lydda Grace you need to lay down and be very quiet until the clock says "3""
LG: "But Mama, if something happens on my pillow will you come rushing?"

hugs from LG
