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.

When will the little green men come?

At the castle we have a visit from little green men every St. Patrick's Day.This St. Patrick's day started off with no visit. When the work day wrapped up I spoke to D and could tell she was very down in the dumps. After a few more probing questions the tears let loose. "The Leprecahuns haven't come, the day is over and we aren't going to be leaving the house, they missed us this year. At preschool we searched for Leprechauns and they were fake! I want the real Leprechsauns to come." Needless to say Burke and the girls went for a walk to pass the time until I made it home. I was a few minutes behind the rest of the family getting home and surprise, surprise the REAL Leprechauns had visited us. Both the girls were running around the house searching for the sneaky little men, but they were happily searching!
