So the kids are brushing their teeth a couple of night ago when Lili decides to tattle on her sister..."Mom, just to let you know, Audrey said you were boring." (I wish I had heard their whole conversation...but Audrey probably just threw that statement out there as they were putting on PJs...) Anyway, Lili, who has always been overly empathetic, immediately feels bad for me and decides to do some kissing up: "Well, I think you're the best mom in the world and I don't think you're boring." We both look expectantly at Audrey, who shrugs at her own reflection in the mirror and says in a compromising kind of tone, "Well, I like Daddy."
This little episode is totally an illustration of my kids' personalities. I hope this isn't a self-fulfilling prophecy but I am so afraid that in about 12 years or so Audrey is totally going to be the one sneaking out of the house on Friday night and Lili will be "letting us know...."

Snow White and the Five(?) Dwarfs
A few nights ago, Audrey was "reading" Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Nanny. Apparently, in Audrey's version of the classic fairy tale, the dwarves are named, "Inky, Winkie, Stinky, Sneaky, and Tommy."
Fun with Nanny
Nanny is in town...she always stuffs her suitcase full of fun stuff for the girls...one of the things she brought this time was an animal facepainting kit....we had fun with it one night, as you can see. The girls played Kung-Fu Panda: Lili was Master Tigress and Audrey was "The Kung-Fu Zebra" (I guess he didn't appear in the film.) They came out pretty good!

your weekly dose of Kateri
Kateri's favorite teething toy is her right foot...sometimes she bites down on her toes too hard and starts to cry, but I think all in all it is a pretty amazing feat considering the length of her torso.... at least she can laugh at herself.
