HOW DO YOU ASK...

Hello all! This week has been a pretty busy week. Work related mostly for me but still busy. At work each year we have a Christmas Party for some trouble children & the home that they live in. It was with week. I usually just get a gift and go to the party to help out but this year I stepped up an actually did some hard work. I helped office 'mama' shop for some of the kids as well as stuff for the party, and it was so much fun. I love shopping with other peoples money... lol! I also helped wrap the gifts as well as bake some cookies. Now I said hard work but really, I got to do 3 things that I love to do... shop, wrap, and bake. And the party was the best!!! It is wonderful to see the kids so happy and excited. I tried really hard not to cry this year and I have to say that I did a good job. Also this week, again through work, I was exposed to a program that I had not been a part of here in Charleston. There is a program here in Charleston through Children's Services where you can sponsor a foster child and get them Christmas Gifts. A group of us adopted a child and pooled our money together and got the child everything he needed and a few things he wanted. It was such a wonderful feeling to be able to help a child that may not be in the best situation due to no fault of their own. So that was my week in a nutshell.
The girls stayed pretty busy too. On Friday they had a Daddy/Daughter day! Daddy was off and the 3 of them seemed to have a pretty good time. They came to see me at work and went to the SW district office and one SW store and shopping. They ended the busy morning with lunch at Chic-fil-a with Mommy and Daddy! It was so sweet @ Chic-fil-a we were in the play area and Libby was pretending to get us food (chicken nuggets of course) and here is a conversation we had:
Libby: Daddy do you want Chicken Nuggets?
Daddy: Yeah, I will take some Chicken Nuggets
Libby: HOW DO YOU ASK???
Daddy: (with mommy rolling on the floor) Libby, may I please have some Chicken Nuggets.

I had a simular conversation with her too. Gosh they really do mimic what we do and say. We are working on manners (something that I think will never end) and when they want something I will say "how do we ask" and they are both learning to say "mommy may I please have..."
Another quick cute story about Chic-fil-a:
Allison had just came down the slide and went over to Elizabeth and moved her hair from out of her face and put it behind her ears. The 2 other moms there just watched and started laughing and saying how cute that was. I was so surprised, usually when she goes over to Elizabeth she will give her a hug or pat her on the head, I have never seen her do that before. Do you think I mess with keeping their hair out of their face too much? LOL
Proof (not that I needed more) that your children mimic what you do and say.
