In the midst of all that, I haven't been doing much around here beyond maintaining, and only managed to punch out one of the many ideas I've been juggling in a blog post earlier this week. However, I did manage to host an impromptu playdate and attempt mushroom risotto for the first time (which turned out great) despite it all. Gotta count the wins where I can, I suppose.
I keep wondering, and wondering, and wondering, and wondering... When will this tooth come in? |
My pretty princesses. |
Perhaps those royal hands are too dainty to punch the numbers on her laptop. |
The Shiner, day three. |
My favorite kind of selfie. |
It seems that bedtime stories make my girls hungry for their fingertips (but the binky suits Michael just fine). |
Look out for the tunnel monster... |
She's coming to get you! |
Overheard this week:
Abby
To her father, as he leaned in to give her a hello peck: "No kisses! When your beard touches my cheek, it itches."
To me, as Tom and I were discussing who should shower first before my parents arrived: "Mima and Granda will watch us while you and Daddy get in the shower."
Between Tom and Abby
While playing at teatime
T: "Abby, I think you just spilled tea all over me."
A: " You're gonna need another shower."
Discussing Mima and Granda's impeding visit
T: "Is Granda going to call you A-BEE?"
A: (giggling) "He always calls me my wrong name!"
Michael
"pineapple, footprint, cookbook"
"Follow you"
"Abby take!"
Mia
"TAKE" (which she tends to announce loudly as she proceeds to do just that)
"medicine, snuggle, tickle,"
"I stuck"
"Brush her hair"
