Creeping thru the Blog door little by little...

The little fools and I are back in full swing! And woo-hoo for us!!! I haven't been here in awhile, yet it always feels like I never left. So during our time away... we have had cute readings about seasoning... for instance... Winter is a cold seasoning. Rylie's book report was a spicy summary of the four different kinds of "seasonings". We had the cold seasoning, the seasoning where the flowers bloom, the seasoning where the leaves fall and the really hot seasoning that is sometimes put in hot sauce! hee hee hee.. Rylie is sooo cool!! She gave me the, 'I already know what they are called' look and asked me not to "cheat her" by giving her the answers. So, I let her create her spice filled book report with yummy descriptions of the year.
Lauren has been on her game! She is like a human recording device. If I don't choose my words carefully, I will inadvertently agree to all sorts of things. Its the loophole she clings to with a tight grip and an open ear. I actually have used her in a few different situations with Bryanna. The minute I call out for my 'Lifeline'.. "I'd like to phone a friend", Bryanna knows her loophole was never really there in the first place an her battle has ended before the "but mommy's" can begin.
Bryanna has discovered a world where ears don't exist, the fear of losing an eye due to extreme rolling no longer scares her, the thought of sucking her teeth down her throat is a known impossibility and the only thing that matters in life next to going to school for socializing purposes is the all important ability to text 27 people at once. This world of hers seems to have many signs that say 'OFF LIMIT'. Lucky for me I don't read Drama Queen..... speak it, a little, reading... naw!

So Bryanna, in all her queen-ness, is a mirror image of me in some areas. We both love a good laugh and we love it even more if we are the ones providing the entertainment. Today, she called to inform me that she ran into a pole at school. Most moms probably would say first, "are you okay"? Not me!! First off, she was cracking up. I knew she was fine. Secondly, through the tears I was crying just picturing the 'BOING' of the pole, there was NO WAY I was in any condition to speak!
Every time I ran into something flashed through my head like a "Valeri's most clumsy moments" clip in fast forward. I love it! My little fools are so clutsy like me! No tears! No running for cover because they are sporting 5 shades of embarrassment red... Nope! Not my girls! They embrace it! They know that in this house the most dangerous thing to trip on is your shadow.. and watch out!! So it's an update kind of post with the hope that my regular postings will become 'regular' once again!! If you are still here.... yay!
