Good Night Prayers

Gertie and Ollie were extra joyful before bed tonight because Claire and Simon were fighting and earned 15 minutes earlier bedtime than their younger sibs. Ollie had such a spring in his step. Anyway, we were just praying downstairs before I sent them up and the English is coming so well! Ollie started praying : thank you for nana and papa and daddy (yes, he forgot me) and Auntie Lissa and Uncle Davool, Audrey, Lydia, Tara, pause -- long, long pause, still pausing --- so I interject: "thank you for food" Ollie says "shooosh you!" then thank you for food...
We said a tearful goodbye to Elissa and David and Audrey, Lydia, Carter and Charlie. Carter is Ollie's best friend. Tomorrow morning they are off to Colorado. Last night the girls had a slumber party. What do 4 and 6 year old girls talk about til the wee hours (10:30)? "See my owie here" "oh look at this one" they were counting their owies. The girl with the most band-aids wins!
Oh and I just have to add, since my last entry concerned grocery shopping and I went to Costco today with Audrey and Lydia (twin 3 year olds) Gertie and Ollie and Claire and Simon. I assigned myself and Claire and Simon each a little person. Oh and that worked so well (not!) But the in and out of the cart thing was insane! Not only that but Ollie crawled INTO the counter shelf thing that holds the packaged ground beef! And, then I turn around from grabbing him and Gertie is on the floor spread eagle. I pushed the cart into the refridgerated room to get some lettuce and Gertie screams - high pitched as if she pinched her finger or something scream. So I look at her all startled and freaked out and she cocks her head to the side and says "I'm cold." And the ladies serving the "samples" just Love me because my crew walks up and their tray is suddenly empty.
