Final homestudy and family night!

So we had our last homestudy visit this past week. We've seen the first draft and are awaiting changes....THEN, send off the dossier! We're really excited. Judging by how many times I've checked my email for the final homestudy to arrive, I think this waiting period is going to be pretty rough.

It's been nice since the dossier stuff is all done. We have to get some photos printed, but the legwork is done. We've (I) have been a little more relaxed around the house. It was great because I could appreciate the little things. We were telling knock-knock jokes today; Paisley calls it "joking out". Majil piped in:

Majil: Knock-Knock

Me: Who's there?

Majil: House

Me: House who?

Majil: Buns (followed by side-splitting laughter)

She's been talking all about "buns". Donald Duck has buns. Her sister has buns. Diapers go on her buns. Buns buns buns. So, this knock knock joke deserved the joke of the year award in her mind. Of course, because of the laughter, we heard it again and again for the rest of lunch. I guess buns are kinda funny... Here she is being tough:


We had another successful day at Lowe's yesterday. Both girls made a pirate ship. They were pretty proud. When we got home, they were flying their boats around the house (because pirate ships can fly like in Peter Pan). I heard Paisley down the hall say quietly:

"Put out the plank, you scummy dogs!"

As long as she doesn't bring that talk to the dinner table...


We had family night tonight. The girls picked Chinese food for dinner, followed by Cinderella in our pajamas, and frozen hot chocolate for a treat. It was a lot of fun. Majil was more into it than I thought she'd be. It made us realize how big she's getting. Paisley, as always, was enthralled with Cinderella.
