Hannah filled out "Five Things that Drive me Nutty!" I could only decipher the first three.
1. Clening up
2. Casudyus (Quesadillas) :)
3. Takows (Tacos) :)
I attended Abby's class party first. By the time I got to Hannah's, she had been given the teacher's permission to eat three pieces of candy. This pixie stick (aka colored sugar stick) was her third. One hour later, she was a bit cranky.
Abby was reading aloud about the prodigal son returning. When she got to Luke 15:30, I panicked a bit. She read, "But this son of yours spent your money on p. . . pr. . . post its?" Yes, post its. Crisis averted.
Mike and I were watching the news as it discussed the Pope's retirement.
Amy: Yeah, did you hear the Pope resigned?
Mike: Yes, but it's not that big of a deal to me.
Amy: He's the only Pope to ever resign.
Silence. A full minute passes.
Mike: They just said that he's the only Pope to ever resign! That's something!

Abby does her homework at the dining room table, in the same spot where I sit to eat dinner. Sometimes we battle while she's doing homework. While I was eating dinner, I noticed something etched into the table, like someone was writing too hard, and it made an imprint. I peered closely at the words. "I hate you." Now I wonder where that could have come from? At least now I have something to read while I eat dinner.
Abby told me, "Mom! Do you know how old the oldest person in the world is? 122! And she's really healthy and teaches yoga."
Pause
"And it's not Gamma."
Pause
Hannah: "Yeah, 'cause Gamma doesn't teach yoga."
I don't know where Hannah learns these phrases. While earning points on a computer game, she said, "I'm going to meet the goal, Mommy. I'm going above and beyond. See that? Proof positive."
She's finally lost a top tooth!
Filling out Valentine's Day cards is a difficult task, as I am reminded by my daughters' conversation:
Hannah: This one's for --. He's mean, and this one says You're Sweet!
Abby: Don't give him that one, give him an ugly one.
Hannah: I can't give him You're Kind or You're Sweet. You're Cool might work, because he is kinda cool.
Abby: No, that picture's too cute. Don't give him that one.
Still filling out Valentine's.
Hannah: Okay, I have to give one to --. Ah, yes. This is a good one for My Love.
(I look up sharply.)
Hannah: What? He's my boyfriend! (She fills out his card and places a huge heart on the outside.) Okay, the next one is for --. Ugh, none of these are good. He's so annoying. (She glances through all the cards.) They should make one that says You're Annoying!
This is what happens when you let the grandparents watch the kids. Both children are placed on a bed of nails.
I was trying to persuade Abby to let me take her to get a bang trim. Abby shook her head no. "Grandma will give you $1.00," I said. Still no. "What will it take?" I asked. Hannah leaned over and whispered to her sister, "Ask grandma for an ipad."
