Around here lately: August 2017 edition

Lily, go see Mommy. Your face is a terrible mess!

Oh Lily, you look so pretty!
*raises voice an octave to pretend to be Lily* Thank you, Claire!

Erin kisses Claire's forehead.
You love your little girl, Mommy.



I like girls. And I like boys. But I don't like some boys' trucks. I like Poppy's big red truck, but some trucks are too giant for little girls.

Hears sirens.
There must be danger out there!

Shares her pink Pygmy Puff with Lily
Erin: That was so nice of you to share your Pygmy Puff with Lily. 
Claire: It was so nice of Bo to buy it for me. Maybe next time we go to Universal, Bo can buy Lily her very own purple Pygmy Puff!

New brown toys! = Brand new toys!



Why is Daddy gone to Boston? I wanted him to stay forever!

Referring to Tim and Azad napping on the couch.
When are the doctors going to wake up?

Erin: Claire, don't grow up.
Claire: I have to.
E: Why?
C: Because that's what God does to little children!



Here you go my friends!
*Dumps a bucket of sand at our feet*

Claire: Why is JoJo crying? In a Fancy Nancy story.
Erin: Hmm...because the sand castle fell down?
Claire: That sounds about right.

Erin: I don't chew my fingernails.
Claire: Neither me!



Look, I'm eating so goodly.

Oh no. Lily's crying and not having fun anymore.

I wish Gran and Grandpa could stay five one hundred days. And Uncle Tim. And Azad.



When friends leave, that is so sad.

But my hands are full. I have a balloon, my doctor tool, and a brush!

Referring to a nameless chive on Veggietales:
Hm. Let's call him Twinkle.



I want to be a firefighter. Can Daddy help me? I might need a little help fire-fightering.

Shaw-shedge = Sausage

I haven't seen my home in a very very long time. And I missed it!



Lily dumps out blocks, making a loud crashing noise.
Claire: I'm alright!

Claire: That's Kristoff and his donkey.
Erin: Reindeer.
Claire: Finn.
Erin: Sven.
Claire: Finn.
Erin: Sven.
Claire: S-Finn.

Anna (from Frozen) is one of my fravrite girls.



Lily walks away.
Come back, you!

I'm not going to be thirsty. I have some spit.

When we were waiting for Daddy, Lily and I prayed a game called Minion Noise. *wild jibberish*



The regly ones = The regular ones

Referring to a FaceTime call.
Claire: Can you pause it?
Erin: We can't. It's not a movie.
Claire: Please?
Erin: Are you saying you want us to stop talking until you get back?
Claire: Yes!

Bo is so nice. She gives us things like cats. (Bo = my sister, cats = stuffed cats)



Referring to Lily.
That baby...she's always silly and dramatic.

Erin: I'm going to miss you when you go to preschool.
Claire: You don't have to miss me...I'm not going to be very far.

I was just petting her. She's the cheeky one.

On your marks, get set, PARTY!

Just another friendly reminder that I'm still playing catch-up. Clearly, it is not currently July... We made another annual trip to Tops...
