Branden and I packed up the girls and headed out for a Family Outing on Saturday. We went to lunch and then to the Brass Armadillo (an antique mall in Grain Valley, MO). Branden is currently renting a glass case there to sell some of his antiques and paper money. The reason I say "packed up the girls" is because Grain Valley is approximately a one hour drive. Ugh. Plus, once we're there, I usually need a significant arsenal (toys, books, snacks) to keep the girls entertained and away from the priceless antiques within easy reach. (I mean really, why is that a good idea?)
On the way, before they both got sleepy, Madelynn and McKenna were regaling us with tales of pure imagination. Madelynn was spinning some fantasy that encompassed a current Princess movie and the "Rules of the House" (see below). McKenna of course just jabbered along at appropriate intervals since she has yet to take command of the English language.
All of the sudden, in midsentence, Madelynn shrieks, "WHO POOPED ON US?" It took us a minute to realize she had spotted a small spatter of bird poop on the windshield. Branden and I were just rolling with laughter. I think there were even some tears. For the rest of the day, she was insistent, "We have to wash Mommy's truck because it is disgusting." Hmmmm. wonder where she picked that up?
Rules of the House:
*No whining
*No hitting
*No biting
*No tattling
*No wiggling (during nap time)
*Be nice and share
