Two Puppy Dogs?

Remember Ashley acting like a puppy? And again here? Well, take a look at these from last night:

Looks innocent enough, right? Ashley in her pajamas and playing in the pantry after her bath...
Then she started "Sweeping."
Still sweeping, Molly joined her at this point:
Then Ash got into the dog food container.
Here's Ashley trying to fight Molly off with the broom.
So, Molly decides to keep a close watch on Bebe:Reaching back in for some more dog food...
Now she has some juice out to go with the dog food... It is good to know if they were ever left alone (and they never would be) they could fend for themselves...And there she goes...Eating dog food! I took a picture then fished it out of her mouth. Silly Bebe! Dog food is for dogs!

The other day Jenna came to me and said, "I had a bad dream! I had a dream Gizmo was talking and we were in my tree house!"
Then she said, "Where do dreams come from?"
After explaining to her about dreams she seemed to understand and thought it was neat.

Last week Ashley was being crabby and holding on something and fell. She was crying and then when she fell started clapping. And she got really happy. (Um, huh?!?!) Bipolar baby?!

****
A couple of weeks ago Jenna and I were watching "Charlotte's Web." This is what was said:

Me: Why is Wilbur sad?

Jenna: That's cuz she's (Charlotte) about to die.

Me: But why does she die?

Jenna: She had babies and then she died. That's how she rolls, Mom.

Me: That's sad.

Jenna: It's just TV, Mom. Don't be sad. We have Bebe.

****
Yesterday Ashley was practicing her walking skills. Jenna walked up and placed a hair clip in Ashley's hair. That must have thrown off her balance because she fell right over! I had to turn away to laugh so as not to anger Bebe.
****
Last night (as occurs most nights) Jenna said the prayer before dinner. This was the prayer:
"Dear God, thank you for mommy, daddy, Molly, and for our food. Amen." (She does not always say, "In Jesus' name Amen.")
I said, "You forgot to say thank you for Ashley."
Jenna just stared at me blinking. You could hear the crickets outside. She would not say thank you for her sister. The nerve! Reminded me of Jenny and Noah when he left out thanking God for his big brother Ian!! Kids!

That is so funny about the dinner prayer and girl...let me tell you about dog food. Before we got rid of Izzy (our dog that I was allergic too) that is all Melana would do is eat that food and dump the water.

How can they even think that taste good?

Wheeewwww

The crickets chirping after Jenna's prayer with her missing detail cracked me up!
