Playing catch up!

Both girls are asleep, Eric is up at the Georgia-South Carolina game, so I have some time to myself, which lately has been pretty hard to come by, so I decided to try and get as many little stories into here while I have the chance!

First of all, last night Meredith somehow got her outfit undone, took off her diaper, and then pee peed on the floor, and I didn't realize any of this until she then slipped on the wet floor and hurt her head. So when Eric walked in the door last night, Meredith was running around completely naked and Melanie was riding her motorcycle through the house. Talk about comedic timing!


The night before, both girls were just screaming and I couldn't get them to calm down at all. I was able to get Melanie settled with an episode of Hannah Montana. The only way I could settle Meredith was to let her play in the refrigerator, which is one of her favorite things to do.


Then, last week, I had to make a cake to take to a friend's party, and both girls wanted to help with one stool. They kept fighting over the stool...and Melanie was the one who kept getting pushed off! Poor baby!!!


Melanie has a new love....it's called "scissoring". At least 6 times a day, I get asked, "Mommy, can I go do my scissoring?" which is where she goes, gets a piece of paper, and snips around the edges of the paper, where it kind of looks like fringe. It's funny, but it keeps her occupied for a long time! She loves her new blue scissors!

Meredith also has a new obsession...well, actually, 2, and they both keep her occupied while we are in the car. The first one, she just found her eyelashes and eyelids, and she thinks it's great that she can stretch them out! She will sit there for a good 10 minutes pulling out her eyelids. The second one is funny....she loves sitting there watching her stomach go up and down while she breathes. She will just stare at her stomach, and starts taking really deep breaths so that her stomach gets bigger!! So funny!!

And finally, I have a picture of Melanie at one of her favorite restaurants...."Snopes". (Actually, it's Slope's BBQ, but she calls it Snopes.) She loves to see all the piggies, but she especially likes the ones that have the forks and knives. They have floor mats with the picture of this pig on there, and she has to go stand on them a few times every time we go there!


We have got 2 crazy girls, but it sure is a lot of fun!!
