Miss C was bugging and bugging and bugging Little J to play princesses and dragons the other day. I mean, it was incessant pestering. But little J was busy playing with his own toys and showed little interest in playing with her. After about the 100th time of asking him, he finally turned to her and said:

Sweetie, what did I said? I said, not right now.

Ha! I don't know what I love more. The fact that he called her sweetie, or the fact that he used said in the wrong tense. Both are just too stinkin cute!

Fridays

Fridays are a special day for me. Miss C has preschool Monday-Thursday and Little J has school Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Therefore, I get some one on one time with my girl on Friday's. It's nice because I generally don't get to spend much time with just her alone. Usually our Friday's consist of doing something fun and then heading out to lunch. Here are a couple of me and my girl on this Friday at our favorite place to do lunch :)

Snow days!

Two snow days in a row! The kids had fun playing out in the snow over the past few days.
One of their favorite things to do was throw huge ice/snow blocks down the hill to shatter it. No nice powdery snow for us!

It's fun to play at the YMCA

We decided to sign Little J up for basketball this winter since he seems to love the game so much. The only place that had a 3 year old program was the YMCA. In all honesty, it was a little bit of a waste of time. The coaches are all volunteer (and for that I'm grateful) but trying to wrangle 8 three year olds was a bit of a show down. I think he touched the ball maybe 4 times in the 40 minute lesson.

And trying to play a game was hysterical. Don't they look like they are all paying attention?!
And the official photos

2 down and 18 to go

The tooth fairy is going to be busy again tonight! The bottom right has been hanging on by a thread for the past couple of days and it finally fell out (at least that is what we think happened) by itself this morning. Miss C has been "trying" to pull it for the past two days without any luck so we were just going to leave it be until it got a little bit looser and then try again. Well, this morning as we were on our way to the Discovery Place, I hear "I can't find my tooth! Mom, my tooth is gone!" in the back seat. My heart kind of sank a little bit, I'm not going to lie. I was afraid of her losing it and us not being able to find it. She's totally ok with that since she believes the tooth fairy will find it and take it away, but I'll admit I'm a little heartbroken that it's lost. I *think* she might have swallowed it when she ate a banana this morning because we've turned the car and the bottom level of the house upside down looking for it. I'm almost afraid to vacuum for awhile just in case it might turn up (who am I kidding, I don't usually vacuum anyway!). I'm *fairly* certain it was in her mouth when she woke up this morning....sometime between 7:15 and 9:30 it fell out and got lost. Booooo! Maybe we'll still find it, who knows. I keep picking up every speck of dirt I see hoping it might be the tooth.

But for now, we're going on the fact that the tooth fairy will find it and take it away with her. I do have it on good authority that she probably won't be as generous as she was last time....the tooth fairy just can't afford $5 for every tooth! Miss C already told me she didn't want quarters, so I guess $1 will just have to do.

In the car right after she discovered it was missing. Thank goodness I had the camera with me!

In the Discovery place painting a picture for the tooth fairy (which of course we left there...double boo!)
And finally at home. And of course in the fairy costume. We've been wearing it for 2 days now!
