Just because

• Yesterday, while playing, a helicopter flew overhead and Olivia looked up at it and said “Hey, look, a helicopter! I’ll bet he is going to find an airplane to go play with.”
• I was trying to explain  to Olivia and Sophia about when they were babies in my tummy. Olivia asked “How did we get there?” I told her daddy put her there and she said “How did he do that, your tummy doesn’t have a door!”  I told her through my belly button.
• After reading half of her book about planets for their bedtime story (It’s way too long for one night), we asked Olivia what her favorite planet was and she said “Pluto”. When we said that wasn’t a planet, she replied “Yes it is, it’s a DWARF planet!” Then her and Bill went about reiterating what a dwarf planet was, as if I didn’t know…(okay, maybe I needed a reminder).
• I gave Olivia permission to play a game on my Droid (some kids connect-the-dots application). She ended up playing her game, uploading a photo to facebook, changing my phone’s background wallpaper AND trying to connect to her daddy’s phone via bluetooth.
• While discussing how Bill was going to have a day off of work last Friday, Olivia asked “Mama, do you get a day off of work?” If she only knew. I tried to explain that my job never stopped. I don’t think she quite understands. Yet.
• I told Olivia “I love you” and she said “I know”…Bill responded “Okay Han Solo”. It made me giggle.
• Sophia loves to run around and say in a deep raspy voice and her hands on her ears (making little Yoda ears) “you will be….you WILL BE.”
• During lunch one day last week, I heard Sophia demand “Get off of my hand, jelly!” after a blob of jelly from her sandwich got smudged on her hand. She started shaking her hand, pointing at the jelly, and saying it in an accusatory tone.
• I was informed by Olivia that Sophia was eating things off of the floor (some cheerios from breakfast). When I asked what she was doing, she calmly stated “eating off of the floor.” When I asked why she was eating off of the floor she looked at me and said “Cuz I’m hungry.” Fair enough.
• I had to add another item to the “things I never thought I would say” file: “We don’t throw potatoes at people, it’s not nice.” After Sophia threw her fake potato at me (thinking we were playing catch).

That’s probably just a portion of my week. Life is never boring around here. I love it!

And, just for fun, a picture of a bubble I took today. Because it is purdy.
