CinderBrighton- or is this normal?!?

Brighton gets on the funniest kicks. Last week all she wanted to do was to play Cinderella. Sometimes I could get her to branch out and do Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, but Cinderella is definitely the favorite. She acts the whole thing out, and I usually get the bad guy roles- wicked stepmother, evil queen, etc. She will do this ALL DAY LONG if I play along. What a crack up! She runs down the hall, kicking off a shoe for the prince to find. She also especially loves any part when she gets to cry. "Are we at the crying part yet?" I'm thinking this is just a girl thing.

This week she wants to me to make up stories about Princess Brighton and her many adventures. All. Day. Long.

I'm looking forward to Logan getting older and I can just kick a ball around will him or something. Maybe we can enlist his help as the Prince for the many dancing parts. :)

Brooklyn playing with a friend~

One of the things I love about Wymount is having so many friends so close!! Brighton and Brooklyn will be lonely when we leave next summer. We have friends over at least once a week. The other mom's probably think I'm nutzo but I love to watch them play and pretend together. This is a picture of some general silliness with friend Rachel. - Notice Brooklyn isn't wearing any pants. Her newest thing is to strip down as much as possible as soon as she comes inside. In this order: coat, shoes, socks, pants- then shirt and diaper if I allow it!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree ...

I keep finding random things hung on our tree, as the girls find things they want to add. The latest - my tea acorn. I guess since it has a little hanger it was feeling left out. Ornament Envy. I guess! :)

Husband in natural habitat?

Hardly!! My brother Tyler is getting ready to sell his x-box so he brought it over for one last hurrah. James never has time to play video games so he was happy to help shoot some people up- and whatever else you do in video games. A guy party at my house left me with nothing to do, so I worked on a Christmas present for a secret someone in my family. Lips are sealed! :)

These crazy girls!

Brighton has started to get really good at the computer! She can do her favorite websites mostly by herself- smart girl! Brooklyn loves to sit and watch.

Brighton's current fav's: www. starfall.com and www.pbskids.org

This silly girl is wearing her baby brother's pants and her big sister's crown. (I was in charge of Preschool Co-op this week, learning K, and we made crowns fit for a king!)

Where is that husband?

People have been saying that they can't tell if I'm married or not. I have a husband- and a good one too! Let me find a good picture of James and I'll post it. Sorry honey!

We survived another trip to the dentist!

The girl's had a check-up this morning, so we brushed 'em real good and headed off. For some reason, we go to an office up in Alpine, which is at least a thirty minute drive. I don't know whose idea that was. Both the girls are cavity free, but will need braces when they get older. Arrgh! Darn thumbsucking!! Brooklyn might even need them as early as eight years old because her mouth is so mishapen. Oh well. Everyone gets braces these days, right? :)

I wish I could go to a pediatric dentist. The girls got to watch Dora while their teeth were checked (Brighton was even aware that something was going on in her mouth) and got to pick a treat to take home. Lucky!
