Phoebe phunnies

Just a couple quick Phoebe phunnies (spell check will love that word!) before I forget.

Chloe and Phoebe made valentine cupcakes over the weekend. I gave them pink icing, sprinkles, and pink m&ms and let them go at it. Phoebe had great fun and was proudly showing me one she made. Then she said she had to go wash her hands because they were dirty from all that cupcaking.

Today she was sitting with me on the couch, and on some cartoon they were playing mini golf. I said to her that it looked like fun (it's been a couple years since we've played mini golf). She said "Yeah. But I'd probably just bang my leg."

While watching the men skating on the Olympics she said they shouldn't wear sparkles...because sparkles are for girls!

I've had a cold and she is always feeling my head and saying it's hot (its not),or handing me a tissue, or commenting on my voice. At dinner she wanted me to blow her food to cool it. I told her I hated to since I had a cold. She said "Well, Daddy can do it".

Last night she slept terrible. Once she was sort of dreaming and kept asking me for her bottle. She hasn't had a bottle a day in her life. Weird.

We've had a bunch of snow days this winter and I've enjoyed getting to spend lots of time with her. To steal one of her quotes, She's the best girl I ever did see.

Just say thank you!

Owen is a bit OCD. When he gets into something new, it's all he thinks about. He won't stop talking about it, and going on and on and on about it. His life revolves around his newest interests (that change frequently). Right now, it's Ghostbusters. He has the cartoons, movies, and a video game. He gets a video game magazine from Game Stop that he looks at all the time. He found an old one the other day showing what he thought was a new Ghostbusters video game. I looked it up online and it is the same video game that he has. However, he swears that it isn't the same. They show different pictures that are like the movie characters, and he says his is cartoon characters. Whatever. I kept trying to explain to him this evening that his game is the same thing. I showed him online. He wanted me to order it anyway. His reasoning? "You told me when I get something I already have to just say thank you!!". (This from Christmas speeches I gave before opening gifts from others.)

So, what did I do? I ordered the darn thing. Mainly because I can't take hearing about it anymore. Also, it made him deliriously happy. The game he already has is for his PS2. So, I got the new game for his DS, and I'll give it to him for Valentine's Day. I'm sure he'll just say "thank you"!
