Tiny Talk Tuesday

I'm here in California with my tinies. Well, my teddy is here too, but not really here. He's working. Yesterday he said he was working a shorter day. He did. Only 20 hours! :) Anyway....this little girl is homesick. This little girl would be me, lol. Kammy misses Rancher soooo bad. She has sent him emails, bought dog toys for her prizes and looked at pictures of him and cried. She told me that she can't even look at the clouds in the sky because some of them are shaped like Rancher!
More from Kammy:


"I discovered what I need. What I need is a twin...because twins like to do the same things as their twins."
"I bet it's nearly bedtime back in America."
"The next time you buy chicken nuggets for someone, would you get a few for me too?"


At the mall after walking a long time: "My legs are getting crabby!

"Like most 5 year olds, Kammy says, "Mom-my" a lot and like most mommies I say, "Just a minute" a lot. Kammy waits very patiently (sort of) she doesn't ask again but her ceaseless "tick, tock, tick, tock, tick tock" usually gets to me pretty quick.
We were out to eat one night and a lady with a bunch of little boys said, "They aren't used to little girls" Me: "And mine aren't used to boys" Kammy: "Well, there's my dad, but he acts kind of obnoxious sometimes!"

If you follow my blog, you know that the kids have been real sick since we've been here. Kammy is on antibiotics for an ear infection and she describes it as elephants marching and drums beating in her ears.


Kaite keeps telling us, "I 'on't ike 'fornia."

Kaite was being a little demanding and fussy so I said, "Kaite, you would think you were the princess or something" (referring to all the Royal Wedding hype). Kaite says, "No, Kaite boss!"

Kammy was asleep one day and snoring. Kaite walked by and heard her, so she said, "Ammy sound cat!" In other words, it sounded like Kammy was purring.
Kaite is only 2, but she has been homesick as well. I think it's pretty sweet that she calls everything here a house, whether it is the motel, mall or restaurant. Home, she calls home and she wants to go there!



Kalli to me: "Should I ask you a question that I can't really ask you if I can ask you without asking you?"
Kalli: "The only thing to do around here is pop your fingers." (crack your knuckles).


And this week, the last one comes from my 12 year old. She was asked to describe chores in her school-work. She said something like this, "Chores are not always fun, but they are good for you. Without chores, you would get fat and lazy!"
Check out the rest of Tiny Talk here, I've been enjoying it so much!
Oh, maybe you'd like an explanation for the last photo. I was getting a foot rub--for Mother's Day.

Hi Karen,
So cute, how fun for you to write it all down, one day you can look back and reminisce.
Your girls are really unique, I think.
I'm sure you enjoyed that foot massage.
I hope your girls are feeling better real soon, and I hope and pray that you have not caught it from them.
Hugs, Cindy
