Making Up For Lost Time

What does it say about my state of mind that I actually......forgot to blog last night?? There have been a handful of days, here and there, where I purposely didn't blog, but last night wasn't one of them. I didn't even wake up in the middle of the night, heart pounding,......remembering. Nope- I made my list of things to do today and slept like a baby. 

So I'll flash back to yesterday, when I happened upon this scene on my dining room table..........

They had been VERY quiet, so I knew something was up. As in, "a two year old has an open bottle of fingernail polish in her hands quiet"....

I made sure everything was okay, then just became an observer/photographer, because I wanted to see how it was going to go......

Big Sister  Diana got pretty creative with the toe separators. They are pieces of folded notebook paper........Little Sister just let her do it.

Skip to this morning, when Big Sister just couldn't decide what she wanted for breakfast. So she and I went on a date to Panera for bagels and cream cheese. :-)

INSERT STORY FROM DINNER TIME TONIGHT:

Big Sister made a very rude noise (we call them "toots") that sweet little girls should never, never make at the dinner table. 

Then she laughed about it.

So I started giving her a talk about manners and Daddy (Hypocrite, anyone??) chimed in to help. His exact works were, "Juicy, when you go to school, the boys aren't going to like that."

SOOOOOOOO my head swerved around in complete outrage and I calmly said to him, "The BOYS won't like that???? Do you think that GIRLS like that when you do it all the time?!?!!?!?"

At which point, Little Sister raised her had and shouted gleefully, "Brinka does!"

I gave up.

Tonight we went out for ice cream. We've gone enough this summer that Little Sister has nearly mastered the ice cream cone, but this is the first night I've had camera in hand.

(For anyone who's wondering, Big Sister is on a "Play-doh" ice cream kick, and Litttle Sister strayed from banana tonight in favor of chocolate chip cookie dough.

Okay. Whew. I'm absolved.

I think I am addicted to your blog. I check your blog before I go to bed and if you haven't posted yet, I check first thing in the morning. I prefer to think of myself as a loving, concerned and interested aunt rather than an obsessed blog stalker! :)

Whew, I was about to come over this AM to check on you...my night is complete now (and early) I can go to bed with sweet dreams of ice cream dancing in my head.
