what's that?

This morning I woke up to hearing Mia in Ella's room saying my name over and over "Mama... mama... mama" in this particular way she will do when she needs me. So as I am about to open Ella's door I am thinking "What in the world is Mia doing in here?!" I opened the door and Mia was no where in site, Ella was standing at the foot of her crib smiling and waving and saying "Mama... mama" I was so surprised, not because she was saying my name (something she has done for months), but because she sounded EXACTLY like MIA!!!!!! Those cute little girls!

Last night I made brownies. They were not going to be done until at least 30 minutes after the kids were in bed, so I lovingly did NOT mention that I was making the chocolaty treat for Phil and I to indulge in while we hung out on the couch, because that would just be cruel... ;)!

This morning Jackson walked over to the kitchen counter and said "I KNEW i smelled brownies last night!" And so, keeping with the loving mother that I am... I gave him one! Happy Friday love bug!!

So Mia just came downstairs and Jackson excitedly said "Mia! There are brownies! Do you want one?"

She stared at him with her sleepy eyes, crazy hair and coldie (blanket) in hand and said "I got up just!"
and no brownie was had by her... just like Mama... some things are just NOT meant for breakfast! Jackson, just like daddy, does not agree!

Ah.... "I got up just!" and this day is good.
