Hair Lady

As I was straightening LG's hair this morning, she said: "Mama, when you get a business, you need to be a hair lady. Don't you love doing people's hair?" I replied, "I sure do." LG: "You know what the best part about you doing my hair, Mama?" (I'm thinking I'm about to get a really nice compliment from my precious LG about how she loves the way I do her hair) LG replies excitedly: "I can EAT breakfast while you're doing it!!!"

Growing Up

Charlie Brown Style

Just a little background information...Daddy is out-of-town, it's been a long day, I'm exhausted & ready for a "break", so, while the girls eat dinner I'm watching a little HGTV - ok, enough excuses...here's the conversation:
LG: "blah, blah, blah"...(ok, she really said something to me, but, that is what I heard)
M (completely into my HGTV show, not having a clue as to what LG just said): "oh, cool!"
LG (annoyed): C-O-O-L??? Mama, WHY did you SAY that? I could have CHOKED!
M (she now has my undivided attention): "oh, wait, what did you say?"
LG: "I SAID, I almost swallowed this..."(as she shows me a piece of plastic)
M: "Oh, goodness...no, that is NOT cool, is it?"

Yes, I enjoyed a few laughs from this...now I know what Chris hears when I talk to him :)

A Picture of Love

LG's sunday school teacher told me that each child was asked to draw a picture of ONE thing they could NOT live without...what did LG draw? A picture of her sister, MJ - yes, my heart melted! LG, you are such a special big sister to MJ. You protect her, help her, love her, play with her, teach her, kiss her, hug her, feed her, dress her & sometimes even let her in your room & play with your toys :) She loves you so much & looks to you as her role model. You both make me so proud & I am thankful & blessed to have you as my daughters...I love you, both!
