Funny girls

Say funny things. Last night I said to Chloe "you and I have a date tomorrow for some physio" She looks at me and says "that's not a date" I say "well what is a date " She says "A date is when you go out together" I'm like "You are 5, how do you know what a date is" Then Jess comes waltzing in, "I told her you know" Again over to me" You are 8, how do you know " With her hands on her hips, she flicks her hair back and says "Hello, I read magazines you know"

She's too cute

I have said before that my girls and I are lucky. The main man in our lives is amazing. I love him more now than I did years ago and I am so so lucky to share my journey through life with him...Now I have made everyone feel ill I'll continue.

Chloe has moments of being such a daddy's girl. Daddy is fun and she loves fun. Greg took her to preschool today and spent some time there. Not many dad's get or take the chance so she loves it when he can. So this afternoon when he came home she climbed up into his lap for a big snuggle with her favourite man in the world. Later on she asked (ok whinged) about wanting him to do something fun with her. So he said he'd play one game of Mousetrap. So she said "daddy we only need one chair, I'll sit on your lap" Greg said "Thanks Chloe but we should sit on our own chairs next to each other"(Between you and me a wiggly worm on a lap to play a game isn't too much fun). So then she says "Ok Daddy but I might have to accidentally give you a cuddle" How cute is that :)

Lock up your library books

There is apparently a library book thief about. Can you believe it ? Jess certainly can.

Our darling eldest daughter has a messy room. To say she has a messy room is like saying Michael Phelps is an ok swimmer, or the West Coast Eagles are having an ordinary season. Her library books were due back last week. When I asked her to find them she oh so dramatically announced she couldn't possibly do that. When we further encouraged her to look, she went in there, stood among the mess and said they are not here. When further questioned she said there is no point looking they are not there. Why we asked. Because a thief broke in and stole them. When Greg asked her why a thief would ignore our wallets she answered "because the thief only likes reading " as if we were mighty stupid. So lock up your library books, there is a cunning thief about. There is also a mighty fine 8 year old storyteller and I know which one is scarier :) :)
