Tonight at bedtime I had to do some punishing. Lately the girls have not been obeying AT ALL. So, tonight (after warning them several times) I took away their bedtime animals: Kitty for Madi and cow and horse for Saige. They cried for a few minutes and then I could hear them talking and thought it might be worth listening in. Boy was I right! This was the conversation I heard:
S: I want my horse and cow (still crying)
M: We need a plan
S: What's the plan? (stops crying)
M: We'll take Dad's scriptures away and hide them tomorrow. Then we will take moms ...(I couldn't hear what they were taking of mine) and hide it too. *I wish I knew what they said.*
S: Ya-that's a good plan. But I am still so sad. Only Scooby Doo and Chance are my favorites-not mom and dad
M: But Saige, Heavenly Father said that Jesus said love everyone (her favorite song). So you have to love mom and dad or they will be sad.
S: But I am so mad at them for taking my horse and cow
M: Don't worry Saige. You are my sister and I love you the best (which was SO nice to hear because M has been terrible to S lately)
Then they started making more silly plans and I came in here to hurry and type this all. Things got a bit rowdy again in there and it sounded like Madi was getting out of bed. So, I yelled from the office, "Madi-get back in your bed RIGHT NOW!"
She YELLED back, "I AM GIVING MY SISTER A HUG"!
It's hard to stay mad sometimes.
P.S. The following pictures will illustrate just how much Saige loves her cows. She tucks 2 of them in every night to her slippers and then sleeps with one in her bed.

Savannah says, tell saige and maddie that sounds like a good plan!
We love them and miss them so much. Maybe we will have to sneak our for a quick visit during spring break!
Hunter says, i think you should love your mom and dad. I don't think you better act bad (he's one to talk). That is a funny thing to put cows inside of slippers.
Oh,what sweet girls. I miss them so much. You have to admit Natalie that they are PURE entertainment. Please enjoy every moment of the things they say and do. Thanks for sharing their conversation - it almost made me cry!! I am still laughing that Saige conned me into buying her another cow, but now I can see that she really needed one for each slipper. Now you can go give both of them a hug from Grandma in Midway.
So sweet! It's that glorious age, of independence and fighting! Oh my, I don't know how you handle the double trouble, one is bad enough! Good luck!
That is so awesome. I am so glad you shared. I love that she loves cows. Did daddy have anything to do with that?:) I agree it is hard to stay mad. Although, sometimes it is easier than others. Luke went up to check on the noises we heard tonight and Ellery was out of bed. The problem was, she was cleaning up her room. How do you get mad at that? Well, we do because it was after bedtime but, still.
I loved reading this! Your girls are so adorable!
Seriously...that is the cutest story I have ever heard. They are the cutest sisters! I am so glad they stick up for each other and love each other. I miss them soooo much
So cute, almost makes me wish that I had twins... Almost!
That is so cute, and I am laughing about the cows. I can't believe she sleeps with one because they are not soft. How cute!! Oh yeah and why wouldn't Chance be their favorite?
This is the cutest thing ever! They are so cute. I don't know how you could possible stay mad at them!
Ha they are so funny. I love those two little stinkers. Tell them "Hi Girlfriend" from their Aunt Kels.
Ok, that was so cute! They are so adorable. It's hard to be mad when they are so entertaining.
So, I am dying to know. Did you have to hide your scriptures from the girls??? Too funny!!!
That is the cutest thing EVER!!! I love them and I don't even know them!!!!!!
Those girls are getting too smart for your good! ;) They are so adorable. We miss you guys! I love your offer to go see a real farm! When is harvest time? The fall? My sister in Springville will be having a baby in Sept. so we may be planning a trip!
Thanks for sharing! So funny and cute. That's cool that the thing they'd steal from Brett is his scriptures - really says something. If you find out what they steal from you, I'd love to know! :)
So did they end up taking anything??? That is so fun, pure fun! I love how Saige puts them in her slippers...that is so cute and funny :)
Hey Natalie, this is Sherry Winckel (Privitt). Your girls are so cute. They look just like you. I'm totally new to this checking out blogs and stuff. I hope you get this. So, are you planning to come to our reunion? Please do. I can't wait to see everyone.
Oh my gosh Nat that is so funny!! They are so precious! Love you guys! Hope you're doing well!
