Directions

So Just a funny note ! Jaeden has had an obsession with her Grammy James..She always wants to sleep there or be with her (I think she just is sick of us!) So along with her pretending for the day, I was her grandma and my mom was her mom. Sounds a little confusing. So she says, I need to go home to my moms house. I said okay. So she says I'm not pretending I need to go home, you need to take me. I was getting sick of pretending at this point of the day so I said fine. She says well you need to take me and I say, you can just go by yourself. You can just get in the car and go. She says, I can drive by myself?! I said ya..just go. She kind-of looks at me with a half smile because she always wants to drive!! Then she says, Well I need a map! She is a funny girl! So Ben did make her a map but she didn't actually end up going!

Steve and Joel!

So the girls have been so funny lately! They say the funniest things. I had to write these down because I know I will forget them. They are always pretending..I mean ALWAYS! I never know if they are talking to me or If they are talking to their pretend mommy who is either Taeler or Jaeden. So many times they are calling me Deja, and their Dad, Ben. So Ben told them that they couldn't call him Ben...they had to either call him Daddy or Steve (That is the name that First came to his mind:). So Jaeden was in the bathroom the other day and we always hear when they are done by "Mommy (or Daddy) I am DOne. Well, Ben and I were watching TV and We hear "Steve, I am DOne" We couldn't help but just laugh, because she really took this Steve thing to heart. And later that week we took them to McDonalds to play in the play land and Ben was telling them if they were good he would buy them an ice-cream, so Jaeden (Who hadn't been pretending at all) Says Ok Steve! Funny, if you could just hear the way she says it, just like it is his name and so normal. Then while we were driving the other day, Taeler begins to tell me how she can't wait to buy a baby. I was confused so I ask Buy a baby? Why are you going to buy a baby and she says..Because I am not going to push that hard to get my baby out! UH OH. I have been watching The Waitress a lot and that Baby Day show on Discovery...so my girls think they know what goes on during Labor, even though I have told them many times that I never screamed like the other women they have seen! SO then I ask well where are you going to buy a baby? Duh, mom at the Baby store!!! She is a smart Cookie! So to end up the girls have been pretending they are Joel lately. I asked them how they got the name Joel..and they tell me it is the name of a girl in their class. I thought it was kind-of a different name for a girl, but didn't think much of it. So today I called their teacher because we misplaced the list for Valentines. She is going through the list and mentions Jewel. She finishes the list and I ask about Joel..Apparently, there is no Joel..only a Jewel!! Mrs. Randall got a kick out of that. It sounds about right, when the girls say their prayers, it is and "Healthy we can have a good day...and healthy we can love our family" When really they are meaning to say "And help that we can have a good day, and help us to love our family!! Oh these are the fun days. Love them to pieces even though sometimes I feel like I might go Koo-Koo!!
