Cassie came up with this gem today.
"A cat is an intriguing animal."
How many 3 year olds do you know that say the word intriguing and are grammatically correct???

Sisters, more than just blood.
Well another weekend of being sick. I'm just glad there is no projectile vomiting involved.
Dar went over to my mom's house friday night and ended up spending Saturday there, because my mom didn't want to take her outside in the cold. Which was fine with us, since Josh and I were both down and out.
So today, even though Dar was still sick, she decided that she would take care of Cassie. When Cass needed a fresh cold cloth for her head, Dar would take care of it. Dar moved off our two seater couch so that Cass could cuddle up on it. And when Cassie, who woke up later than usual this morning, heard that Dar was home today, she immediately moved all of her things out to the living room to be with her.
That's the kind of love and sisterhood I always dreamed about. I have sisters, they are just so much older than me that I really don't know them. We're talking 12 years or more, so honestly we're just in different stages in our life. That's not to say that my brother is not equally as awesome as the girls are, it's just different. It's one of the major reasons that we had the girls so close in age.
And for some strange reason, I get really excited when someone asks me if they are twins.
No. But close enough.

Horses
Laurel was telling a story about her day at school, while we were eating dinner tonight. It went something like this.
So there were a lot of kids being loud at library today, but Alese, Jaylyn and I were being quiet so when we got back to class, Mrs. Waddell said we could have a horsey kiss and I ate mine all up then we got our coats and went home.
A horsey kiss?
oh. A Hershey kiss. She meant a Hershey kiss. I was beginning to wonder what they really did at those schools these days.
Sometimes you really have to deceifer the code of your own kids.
Like when the girls were singing the Transformers theme song. It went like this...
Transformers
More than meets the eye
Autobots leading battle to defeat the evil horses of the deceipticons.
Must be something in the water lately.
Like horses.

Definance
Today Cassie is defiant. Yesterday for lunch she wanted a piece of lasagna. She decided after taking two bites that she didn't want it, so I told her that she could put it away for dinner. So she did. And didn't want to eat it for dinner. She ate two bites. So I told her that she would be seeing it for breakfast. Out on the table this morning for breakfast was this little plate of lasagna for Cassie.
She didn't want it.
She wanted something else.
Like a cookie from Biggby's.
'Nope.' I said. 'Eat your lasagna and maybe I'd think about it.'
'I ate all of my food.' Piped up, Adara. Way to play it up.
'Okay, cookie for you.' (I think at the time, I wanted to hit home the fact that I was the one in charge, not Cassie. It may have been subconsciously to prove to myself that I had more backbone than Cassie.)
AAAHHHHHHH said Cassie
And it hasn't stopped.
She's sitting at the table complaining at the lasagna plate that its too saucy.
Ah, relief, it's 10.15 and finally she's letting me feed her the lasagna like she's a 1 year old.
