OMG Justin Bieber!

I may have my hands full with my second child. As I tucked her into bed the other night she calmy informed me that "she is waiting for Justin Bieber to fall in love with her." While this may be a sign of things yet to come at least she is waiting for Justin to fall in love first. This does present another problem as the Easter Bunny gave Danika and her parents concert tickets to Justin Bieber. Mckall knows that there is a concert, and we have tickets (she just doesn't know there are 3). More drama yet to come .....

Random Thoughts by Small People

Here are two instances in the past week where it has been hard to keep that straight face that patents should have.

- The other night something was going on that Mckall wanted us to stop. In her straightest face and her sternest voice she yells to Burke and I "do that again and I will knock you out!"

- Danika was picked up from school and Pep said he was in the mood for Pizza. She asked if they could get pizza from the little orange guy (Little Ceasers for those not versed in take out lingo). Dude told her no, Pep was in the mood for gourmet pizza. Danika replies "oh, that means we are getting Dominoes."

What a busy month

What a busy month March was for us. The highlight of the month had to be when we went to Phoenix to watch Copper play a little baseball. The weather was great (85 degrees) and I also received an offer to come back to work at Amex on the trip. We watched a lot of baseball including an A's spring training game. The girls and I were sitting on the grass in left field and I was trying to coach my oldest to ask for a baseball and autograph from the Mariners players. She is getting to the age where she is a little shy. Not little Mckall she marched up to the fence motioned with her finger for the players to come closer (I thought I should mention instead of her finger through the fence pointing up as normal her finger was pointing down). After a few excuses me, excuse me the players were kind enough to give each girl a baseball complete with an autograph. In my book this is how all pro athletes should act. The rest of the vaca was spent poolside with kids swimming and a margarita in my hand. Of course there is nothing like returning home to Mckall jumping into her princess dress asking when we are going to Disney land.

First tooth gone

On the way home from a baseball game today Danika informed us that she had a loose tooth. After we got home just before bed the tooth came out! Her first loose tooth, it quickly went under the pillow for the tooth fairy. As she went to bed she told us to make sure Mckall went straight to bed. She didn't want anything holding up the tooth fairy arrival.

When did she grow up?

I typically layout cloths the night beore for th girls to wear the next day. Typically I ask if they want comf's (sweat suit), jeans or a dress. Although there is no point asking M as her preference is to wear a satin shiny purple Christmas dress. That is a whole different subject though. Anyway I had laid out clothes and had departed to work before D got dressed. Burke got the girls read (a two week wait until he begins a new but great job as a medical sales rep). D refused to wear the houndstooth jumper from Gymboree and stated very matter of fact that "that would be a dress I wear if I am going to work with Mom, that is not something for preschool." Ok did she grow up and I missed it.
