Yesterday Lizabeth and Sophie made Lana and I laugh almost uncontrolably. The first one we were watching the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Lizabeth asked Lana, "What's that thing?" (Referring to the whip the dwarf had). Lana told her it was a whip. Lizabeth thought about that and said, "Oh, I thought it was a whapper."
Sophie's little gem happened later on when she was cuddled with Lana. I told Lana how pretty she was and Lana said, "it's all for you honey". I replied, "aww, I must be special", (feel free to vomit right now). After I said that Sophie looked at me and said, "No yarnt!"
Ahhh, the love of my children.

What's Going on with Lana
Well, it has been weeks since venturing onto the blogs, okay mabye months. I found it very entertaining getting caught up on everyone and feeling "connected" again. It has been a bit of a tough transition getting used to the back to school schedule. That simply means that I have the day home running all day, mon-fri without the extra holidays that come in the summer. As most of you know I have two little girls in the house, 3 and 4 years old, and they fit in well with the family. It's just one big princess party after another round here.woo-hoo.
This week we actually had a boy in the house... a 9-month-old named Clint who occupies all five girls for hours when he is awake. Poor guy, whenever he sees me he acts like i'm a lifesaver, saving him from all the girls. They all try to mother him at the same time. Having a baby around has been nice, getting to do things like feeding him and rocking him to sleep, but knowing if i had another one it would probably be a girl keeps my baby urges in check! Just kidding, but filling the house with extra kids does take away all tedencies towards making my life busier.
Before, during, and after the day home is school. Emma and i are doing our rookie year of homeschool, and I have to say that I've probably learned more than her so far,as I am very quickly "un-learning" school. It's hard to believe how litte formal school time a first grader needs. I definitely feel like she's not sitting in a desk long enough to learn anything, but according to homeschoolers she's probably learning more that way. This week, for instance, she had a great, hands-on lesson in baby care. Bed-making and obedience have also been in the curriculum. It's taken some getting used to, but I am reading lots of literature on how to teach and stuff so I am learnig everyday.(also getting confused, but that's not hard for me)
So that's what I've been doing, computer time is something I don't get a lot of, but I will try to keep posted!

The Lion, The Witch and the What is a Wardrobe?
Over the last month or so we have been reading Emma "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe". She has LOVED the book to say the least and absorbed it quite well to the point that while we were reading she was drawing what was happening in the story and was able to tell us little details. We finished reading it to her on Monday night. Tuesday night I pulled out the old recorded version of the cartoon allowing the girls to watch it (Emma is allowed to watch the real version on the weekend with us).
Emma was so excited and thoroughly enjoyed it. She made me so proud when she was watching it and would make comments like, "Tumnus didn't have a red face!" SHE HAS AN IMAGINATION!! Elizabeth got really into the movie too. When the witch kills Aslan she started to cry. Not scared tears, sad tears. She was very sad from it. I guess this is what it is like to have girls. The tears were all gone in a few minutes when Aslan came back to life. Thankfully C.S. was writting to children and didn't leave them in suspence for too long. And in case you're wondering Sophie lost interest pretty quickly and didn't even finish watching it.
Emma will be posting a book report on here soon for school. Next up we will go to the "Magician's Nephew".
