There is Something About Walmart...

I just finished reading Lexi a book that contained the Christmas song, Away in a Manger. Thus I ended up singing, "the baby Jesus song" quite a few times. Then I read "The Night Before Christmas" because they asked me to. :)

I left the room for a second as Lexi said she was going to get in her bed with the hay. Eric walked in the room and I heard her say, "Daddy, do you want to get in the hay with baby Jesus?" He said sure and then she told him to "wait a minute, because baby Jesus went to Walmart."

Eric replied, "What did baby Jesus go to Walmart for?"

From across the room Lilly responded, "He went to Walmart to get jammies!" As if Eric should have known that baby Jesus needed jammies.

I just have to stop what I am doing sometimes and record these funny moments so the girls will have them to look back on in the future. I think that one day, they might get a kick out of the stuff they said. :) Eric and I sure do!!

World Series

This morning the girls got up super early. They were sitting in Eric's lap snuggling when I said, "Girls, guess what? The Texas Rangers are going to the World Series! Isn't that exciting?!"

Lexi says with all kinds of excitement, " Yeah, and we're going to Walmart!!!"

Ha ha ha! Funny kid!

Introducing Emma...

We have a new family member, Miss Emma Rose Sanford! She is a beautiful and sweet dog. So far she gets along great with everyone. She is snoring next to me as I type this. I suddenly feel a tiny bit overwhelmed because it is like I have 3 toddlers running around the house.

She is around 1 year old, and was dumped at the shelter by someone who didn't care for her. She had her first vet appointment today and did great. She is about 32 pounds and seems healthy. We are planning to do some basic obedience training with her. I need her to at least obey general commands and can't wait until she starts responding to her name.

Right now, she is just a love!

Great Day

Today was our church's fall festival, aka, the parking lot party. It was a lot of fun! We had amazing food, face painting, a cake walk, bouncy houses, and fishing (for candy!). The girls had a blast which led to a meltdown when we left. :)

These girls were SO ready to go this morning. They got to wear play clothes instead of dressier clothes. I wasn't about to limit their playing abilities with a girly dress today.

Our current addiction...play/bouncy houses!

Lexi got a heart to match her sister!
Fishing...they both got M&M's and Swedish Fish. I hid them in the cookie jar and hope they forget about them for a while.
Lilly asked for the heart first...
Here is Lexi, during her "it's time to go" meltdown...I told her I was going to take her picture, so she better stop crying. She yelled, "No, Mommy!" and this was what I got....
Also during church this morning, the girls went into the service with us. They were peering into the sanctuary after Bible study on Thursday, and asked if they could "sing to Jesus with us". Why would I say no to that one? :) Church started this morning and by the 3rd announcement, Lilly announced, "I'm done now, Momma!" But, for 2 year olds, they lasted a long time.

After we got home today, they played like various rooms around the house were the "sanctuary" and they were going to go sing "sanctuary songs". They call Chris Tomlin's "Our God" the sanctuary song. :) We couldn't be much prouder!! Well, we hope you all had a great weekend too!!
