Spackle does not taste good. It may look like meringue, but it is not.
(I know meringue is spelled correctly, but that is one odd looking word.)

Princess Disaster
Dixie, at dinner tonight, knocked something over. Frustrated by her clumsiness, she sighs dramatically, buries her face in her hands and announces, "I am Princess Disaster."
Melody also pointed out that "If you cut off your head, that will hurt. And if you put it in a jar, that will really hurt."
I refrained from debating with her on the logistics of getting your own head into a jar.

Girls, I think Charlie's trying to tell you something
Charlie, a.k.a. Button Pusher, turned off the TV this morning. The girls squealed in protest. Charlie turned around, grinned, and put his hand to his forehead with only his thumb and forefinger out. That's right, the big L for Loser sign. Flashed by my 18 month old.

Melody, praying at dinner last night:
God, thank you for my family. I love Mommy, Daddy, *sigh* and, for some reason, Dixie, and even Charlie.
Dowlan and I were about to burst.
***
And Dixie has gone an entire week and only written DIXIE on two things--Mommy's fridge and Amanda's water bill. Huge progress, really.

So much for manners
We've really been working on having good table manners. Sitting in a chair the entire time, eating with utensils, using napkins, not burping or farting, no toys, no rude comments about the food, etc.
Dowlan is having a terrible time of it. ;)
So last night is going really well, despite the menu featuring spaghetti. The girls are actually eating, not running in circles around the house between bites, and we did get the entire prayer respectfully said before the eating commenced.
Melody asks, "May I please be excutes to the potty?"
Excutes, excused, whatever.
Dowlan and I are commenting to each other how nice it is to actually have a decent, calm meal about the time that Melody shouts from the bathroom, "Sometimes it is really hard to poop! And then when you do it splashes up and gets your bottom wet!"
Sigh.

Does anyone know a Charlie James S----?
If so, I have a lovely handmade quilt my MIL made for him for Christmas. She sent it here, but it is clearly a mistake. We have no one by that name in this house. We also have a Raggedy Ann sweatshirt with Melodie embroidered on it. Unfortunately, I don't know any Melodies. It should make Dixie feel better about not having anything made for her at all to then have her name not on it.
Velcro Update
Here is the previous post on the topic.
We now have more Velcro that likes to sleep in our bed. When the bed gets too full, I travel from bed to couch to couch to bed and it follows me around all night. A few weeks ago, I went to a doctor because I was exhausted all the time, slowly gaining weight despite my best efforts and was having a hard time simply staying awake.
All my tests came back normal and he wanted to do a Sleep Study. I laughed and told him that if he put me in a room by myself I would sleep better than I've slept in slightly over four years. It isn't a matter of a sleep disorder, as much as the fact that my family creates disorderly sleep. I actually considered begging for a week long study, simply so that I could catch up a bit.
Melody, who was once content to sleep next to me, now prefers to sleep on top of me. Thank God she only weighs 28 lbs.
So Dowlan, at some point in the night, ended up asleep on the couch with two girls. On top of him, of course. And he relocated them to get up at the alarm that is Charlie's first morning howls.
Melody woke up this morning, amazed. She ran into my room, crying, "Mommy! I went to sleep on Daddy, but I woke up on Dixie! I must have been sleep walking or maybe it was magic."
