Mommy/Daughter days

Aaron and I both worked Sunday night so the girls slept at Adam and Jodi's.  I picked them up after sleeping at my mom's for a few hours Monday morning.  I decided to take the girls to a $1 movie since we were close to the theater and we invited Lora to come along.  They all decided on seeing Soul Surfer even though we'd seen it before.  I really love that movie.  I bought everyone a twist cone before we took Lora home.  The girls had all been up late the night before so I had them all in bed by 8:00.

This morning I worked on cleaning out our kitchen drawers.  Maddie had piano at 9 and her sewing class at noon.  We had kids hanging out around the house all afternoon.  Cami for a good chunk of the day and was super funny today, here's a few things that had me laughing:

(a one-sided conversation) Cami: "Maddie is the smartest.  Well, me and Brie are a little smart.  We are getting smarter.  You know those candies called smarties?  They are yummy.  You can eat them, right, Mom?  What's for dinner tonight?  Oh yeah, it's Tuesday.  Tacos!  Yay!  How old was Maddie when she started taking piano lessons, seven or eight?  She got baptized when she was 8.  I'm going to take my ponytail out so I can wear my helmet cuz I'm riding my bike.  I'll be home at 11:30 like you said.  Bye Mama!"

I found a set of keys while I was cleaning out the drawers this morning.  I asked Aaron what they were for, he said one of the keys was the old key to his mom's house.

Cami: "We should keep them and give them to Grandma Pam when she comes back to life."

When I put the girls to bed tonight I mentioned that the twins' room was already getting messy again (they had cleaned it up this morning).  Cami said "How rude of our room to get messy again!"

I had an eye exam this afternoon and then we went to Chili's for dinner.  Brie and Cami wanted to watch a movie, but Maddie wanted to play with friends.  I turned on Father of the Bride and snuggled on the couch with the little girls while Maddie went to our neighbor's house to play.  It was a pretty late night for them, but they were being really good (and it's summer time!).
