Preschool Fall Festival

The twins' preschool holds a fundraiser ever fall and the kids sure enjoyed this year's. Alex & Lily baked cakes for the cake walk. The first thing Alex did was go and win her cake back. They all got tattoos and played all the games, including the moonwalk.

Oh, Snap!

Alex has been working lately to figure out what is appropriate to say in certain situations and what is inappropriate or for that matter a cuss word. This is one I have not heard her ask about and it came out last night with such flawless ease, I was shocked!

We are helping Griffyn with his homework when Alex asks if she has any homework. All of a sudden her expression changes to one of enlightenment and the phrase "oh, snap I forgot my backpack at Grandma's house" just pops out. Rick and I just stop. We stare at each other for a minute and try to comprehend our 4 year old daughter using the phrase "oh, snap". I asked him did she just say "oh, snap"? He confirmed while looking utterly confused. It's like a movie, we both turn to Alex who has this what did I do look on her face. I asked her to repeat what she said and she does this time without the new phrase. So I asked her if she really said "oh, snap" she confirmed she had. Promptly Rick and I bust up laughing. Good God they grow up fast!! It is the new catch phrase in our house. Everything is now "oh, snap".

Hockey

We went to the first home game for the RoadRunners. Phoenix has decided this is just as good as football. It is the first thing he asks about when I pick him up. (H)ockey game? And when I tell him there isn't a game he pouts and tells me no. The first home game was intense. It was a pretty even game the whole way through and in the final minutes of the game we tied back up and the game went into sudden death OT. There were lots of fights on the ice that night as players gave it their all to get the puck. The girls didn't find the game all that fascinating, but they had fun harrassing our friends!

My camera is now in the shop and I haven't actually cleaned off my phone yet so Heidi was taking the pics. So far she has only had time to send me the one with PJ and her. There was another she took where Alex was literally climbing on Chris (poor guy). I'll get them added to the post as she is able to send them to me.
