Bits and Pieces

A random sample of life at the Larson house the last month or so.

*The girls LOVE going to the movies.  I love taking them.  This has gotten so much easier the last year or so!
*Popcorn rules: no one can eat any popcorn until the movie starts.  Unless we have a large popcorn that comes with a free refill.  In that case you must divide the popcorn out and get a refill before the movie starts. 
*Early morning snuggles in bed - many mornings I wake up to all three girls in bed with us.  This is one of those things that drives me crazy but I love all at the same time. 
*Cami falling asleep next to me on the couch
*Cami and Brie both call me "Momma"
*The girls are so quick to try and comfort/console each other if one of them is hurt or sad. 
*Squeezy hugs
*Cami's laugh when she is tired is one of the best sounds in the world.  Love it!
*The twins helping me shop at the grocery store
*Maddie saying "nyet" - she's picking up a few Russian (Ukrainian?) words from the new neighbor kids. 
*Cami and Brie still sing "Sweet Caroline" at the top of their lungs in the car
*Brie singing "Book of Mormon Stories" in the shower.  Aaron also caught a glimpse of her dancing behind the shower curtain, but she doesn't want us to know about that. 
*Brie's enthusiasm to stand at the pulpit on fast Sunday 2 months in a row (actually 3, I didn't take her up this last time though). 
*Brie to Cami: "Whoa!  You look fabulous.  Fab-u-lous!"
*Brie told me she thinks I'm Super Mom. 
*Taco Tuesday tradition - this started a few months ago when I had worked a night shift on Monday night and I was totally unmotivated to make any kind of dinner.  I had to pick something up at Walgreens and drove through the Del Taco drive-thru for dinner.  This is when the girls were amazed that 12 tacos cost just $4.  And the Larson family "Taco Tuesday" was born.  The girls wake up excited about it every Tuesday!   Every once and awhile we break tradition and do something else, and one of the twins will say "It's okay if we don't have tacos on Tuesdays sometimes."
*Earlier this week I asked Maddie a question that made her a little uncomfortable.  I don't want to embarass her so I won't give any details.  A couple days later she came to me and said "Mom, you know that thing you asked me about the other day when I was filling up my water bottle?  I'm ready for it."
*Aaron started his online RN-BSN program through the University of Texas this week. 
*I showed Aaron a thank you note someone wrote to me.  He jokingly asked "Why aren't you like that at home?" Haha. (yeah, I didn't think it was funny either)
*Aaron is losing weight again and he's looking good!
