First time playing alone

Tonight is the first night ever where the kids decided to just go downstairs and play. No playing upstairs. No asking to play a game. Just wanted to go downatairs. Thisbis bittersweet, because they are getting older and this is their first step towards independence (and the quiet is nice!) But it's sad that it won't be the same anymore. I love you guys and am happy, but I have a tear in my eye as I type this. Love you!

Today was the day

After dinner, D said , "can I go play with my friends?" instead of staying and carving pumpkins. Her dad is already not cool 😕

How many?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how many chihuahuas do you want?

10!!

Letter to Santa

Delaney left this note for Santa, saying I'm sorry I forgot to tell you, but I also want a Shopkins purse and Shopkins notebpook. Cool cool cool (which is what Santa Sid always says). This is so cute, I can't stand it!!

Kisses

I walk upstairs to tell D I'm leaving.

D (from the bathroom) - kisses.
B - what?
D - kisses before you leave.
B - are you pooping?
D - um...yes.
B - I will wait until you're done.
D - Dad, it's gonna be awile!

Radio stations

D - Mom? 
Mom - Yes.
D - Are there radio stations everywhere?  Like the north pole and the wild west?

New room

Just came downstairs after our first night in the new house and asked D how her first night was in her new room: "It was awesome. Had a blast!"
