I said I was going to the barber in the morning without Maeve or Hilde.  Maeve protested, so I said I would take her if she got her hair cut.  It is halfway covering her eyes.  She decided she didn't want to go.  Hilde wanted to go, but I said her hair was still short enough that she didn't need to go.  She started pulling the hair from the sides of her head over her eyes, so I would think it was too long and she needed a haircut.

Maeve wanted Jill to snuggle in her bed tonight.  Maeve was covering her nose.  Jill said, "I just brushed my teeth.  My breath can't smell that bad."  Maeve said, "Your breath comes from your lungs, not your teeth.  I can still smell it."

Today Hilde crumpled up a rainforest poster that Maeve had.  Maeve was screaming, "She scrunched my poster, she scrunched my poster, ..."  Hilde ran into the kitchen and opened a drawer.  She was saying something that turned out to be "roller".  She got the pizza dough roller and rolled the paper flat.

Today Hilde's Sunday school class put some cotton stuffing in pantyhose and put a face on it.  Apparently it was supposed to look like a baby, but it looked a lot more like a potato.  The crafts are usually made to remind everyone of some lesson.  I asked Maeve and Hilde what the stuffed pantyhose lesson was.  Maeve said, "It reminds us that God wants us to eat potatoes."

Today I took Hilde to my barber to get her hair cut there for the second time.  Maeve was still asleep, so it was just Hilde and me.  We had talked about kazoos last night, so we stopped at the party store first.  There were no kazoos, but we did find Hilde a little soccer ball toy and a whistle.  After Hilde got her bangs cut, she watched the fish while I got my hair cut.

I came home this morning to sealcoat the driveway.  I found my children watching Barney, and they followed me to my bedroom while I put on some work clothes.  I don't like Barney.  I had seen a skit on Mad TV or a show like that where the actor said that the children on Barney kept changing because he ate them, except for the fat one in the front.  Barney was saving her for a special dinner.

I told Maeve that Barney eats children.  She said he didn't.  I said, "He's a dinosaur.  What do you think he eats?  He eats other dinosaurs, animals, and even people."  Maeve said, "Well, dinosaurs might do that, but Barney is a guy in a costume, and he doesn't eat people."

Today Jill heard Maeve in the playroom today pretending to be teaching a class.  Maeve said, "Let me tell you a story about a dolphin boy..."
