Bonding time...

Brrrr... I can't believe another burst of winter is on the way! It's supposed to snow and ice again tomorrow. Actually for the next few days! With all this chilly weather, the girls are going a little stir crazy. I've been playing "princess board games" with the girls by the fire, but that just doesn't seem to get all their energy out. Since we missed our dance party this Friday night (Keith had a meeting in downtown Atlanta), Keith and the girls have been thumping and bumping upstairs for about 45 minutes. He's wrestling the energy out of them. It's so funny see how I relate to the girls so differently than Keith and the boys do. I bond with them through playing games, hugging, kissing, snuggling, watching movies or reading to them. The guys wrestle, sword fight, play wii, or just banter with them. Alex and Drew were at the table eating lunch with the girls the other day and Alex said in response to Ellie's dis, "Well I'm gonna open your cerebrum and scoop out your brains and spread them on my sandwich and eat them." Now I know I should have stopped it at that point, but it was so darn funny to hear them come up with the most random things. Emma shot back with a quote from one of her movies, "Well somebody around here needs to shut their gob hole." The boys about fell out of their chairs laughing!
