Do You Dream in Color?

Julie asked Libby if she wanted orange juice.

Libby: No I want pink juice.

Don't Call it a Comeback

The girls have had a stomach bug for several days now, which of course, means no dairy. That's pretty much torture for a milkaholic like Libby.

Today they're finally better. Libby got milk and cereal for breakfast, and this was her reaction.

(While hugging cereal bowl) "welcome home cereal"

Brown nosing

Hannah was looking at a drawing.

Hannah: How do people draw this good?

Me: You can probably draw this good.

Me: I'm glad you got your moms artistic talent Hannah I don't have any.

Hannah: Yes you do yours is being super smart.

Libby: princess basketball?

Jurassic Bark, part deux

Hannah was telling Libby about dinosaurs.

Libby: Oh no, dinosaurs!

Hannah: its ok Libby all the dinosaurs are dead.

Libby: Oh no, what happened daddy?

Jurassic Bark

A couple weeks ago there was a thunderstorm rolling through town. At one point, a really loud thunderclap hit.

"Oh no, a dinosaur!" Libby shouted

Fine Dining

Hannah was pretending to run a restaurant. I kept ordering random stuff. After a while she started huffing whenever I ordered something.

Me: You're very rude if like to speak to your manager.

Julie (pointing at Libby, who was already laughing hysterically): Right here.

Me: Your service is terrible.

Libby: Hahahahahahahaha

Me: I'm never coming back to your establishment.

Libby: Meow?

Frozen Yoga

Julie and I were desperately trying to get the girls to calm down tonight, so we made up our own yoga. After some stretching and breathing, I told them to meditate, which required some explanation.

Me: you sit quietly, close your eyes and think about things that make you feel happy, peaceful and relaxed. I would think about our family, or baseball.

Hannah: I think about when I'm relaxing.

Julie: what are you thinking about?

Libby: Fire!

Kryptonite

We ate Moe's for lunch. Hannah asked me to read what was on her cup.

Me: If I could have a superpower it would be ____?

Hannah: Taco!

Me: That's an interesting choice.

Hannah: ... Strawberry?

Oh Baby

Julie was wearing her Beatles shirt yesterday.

Hannah: I like your shirt mama is that Justin bieber?
