Who needs toys?

We have boxes, baskets, crates, toy boxes, bookshelves, toy bags...you name it, we've got it, and it's filled with toys. Naturally with all these toys to choose from the girls want to play with a $5 neck massager from Walgreens. The draw is obvious...the button lights up, it shakes, and makes a lot of noise when you put it on the wood coffee table. Look out Dora and Elmo this 'toy' rocks! Whatever one gal has the other instantly wants and although we have many duplicate toys through out the house we only have one of these unbelievable toys.

Let the battle begin! It's a fight for the massager and although Annabelle is bigger and just a bit stronger, Gwyneth has been known to fight dirty. She's not above tackling Annabelle, sitting on her, and can maintain a death-grip on what she wants. You may be asking "Why not splurge and spend $5 and just get another one so they'll each have their own?". To which I can only respond "Nope!". Learning to share is building their character or at the very minimum I'm setting up them up for a future of "ultimate fighting".

"Here GG, let me help you with that"

"And by help, I mean let me have it!"I couldn't tell for sure, but GG seems to be thinking "What the....?"

B grilled us some steaks for dinner and given how stringy Annabelle's hair has been looking, I took her to get a quick haircut. Poor girl has her mom's stick straight, fine hair. I told her we should probably cut it short and she said 'no momma! long, pretty!". How could I deny her - so she got just a trim and a promise that we'd be growing it out. As we were leaving, she flipped her newly trimmed, shampooed, and styled hair over her shoulder and said "Bye bye, babies!" to her fellow salon customers. Oh, that girl!
