Ada sometimes is too smart for MY own good, and other times not so much. For instance, Saturday it was a nice day and we still had some snow to play in (not any more thanks to 65 degrees and thunderstorms today) and the girls went outside to help Jeff take down Christmas lights. They ended up staying outside to play with their friends and came in a while later soaking wet and cold. So I said "Next time you go out to play in the snow you need to wear your snowpants and boots!" And Ada's reply was "So does that mean we don't have to wear a coat?" Killing me!
Then tonight we were finishing dinner and she had a strawberry left on her plate. So I said "You need to eat that strawberry or you can have 2 grapes instead. You choose." She thought for a moment and then said "How about the strawberry and 2 grapes?" Um, okay!
After she moves out, then we'll really work on the negotiation skills! For now, I'll take what I can get when it comes to those negotiations that go in my favor!

ok, how cute are your girls. And I can vividly remember the twins first day in Primary. I can still see them in their little dresses walking down the long isle to their seats in the front row. They were so cute.
We are going to Geneva, yes. But will spend a day in Zurich too. I can hardly wait... I am super excited.
It's great being a Mom - you learn so much for a 6 year old!! good luck!

Ya gotta love kids, huh..
It was funny last week, I was brushing Tristyn's hair trying to get her ready for school and she was just having a melt down, I asked her "why are you being so sad?" She's says "Cuz Jaeden woke me up early on Christmas!" Laughingly I said, "well Christmas was weeks ago, silly!!" She's all "SO!" That just cracked me up..
