I walked in the den yesterday and saw the girls just like this. I asked, “what are y’all doing?”
The answer was hilarious.
Do any of you want to take a stab at it?
Leave a comment with what it is that you think they are doing.
The closest answer or the funniest wins…
I’ll send you 6 heavy-duty diner mugs from the restaurant supply store.
This is a quick one… ends tomorrow at noon. So hurry!
:o) mg
May 7, 2009 at 6:01 pmMy first impression is that they are having a yard sale.
Upon staring at the picture further, I am also thinking that if the above is wrong, that they are dipping their toes in the pool (aka rug).
Jennifer
May 7, 2009 at 6:03 pmMorgan- “Good morning and thank you for tuning in the the Morgan and Paige show!”
Paige- “On todays show, I will start off by showing you how to properly change a diaper. I will be demonstrating this using my stuffed bear and making use to the changing table we have over to the right in our studio!”
Morgan- “Sounds exciting Paige! Looking forward to that segment! We will be right back after a message from our sponsors! (aka- mom and dad)”
Adriane
May 7, 2009 at 6:05 pmI’m gonna go with “Judges for an American Idol”-type show starring their stuffed Teddy Bear!? They are gorgeous, and I LOVE the bobs!!:) Miss you, Darby!
Caroline
May 7, 2009 at 6:05 pmMy first guess was also a yard sale but I have learned that things with kids are never what they seem!
AnNicole @ OurSuburbanCottage
May 7, 2009 at 6:07 pmThey are so darn cute! Are they pretending to drive a car?
Becky
May 7, 2009 at 6:08 pmi think they are momma and mommasissy pulling up a chair to have a chat and catch up on their “stories”. of course, they may also be watching paint dry…hard to tell.
Molly
May 7, 2009 at 6:10 pmActing like mommy and daddy (one with her legs crossed and the other with her hands on the arms of the chair legs uncrossed).
Tell me more about restaurant supply stores (you can email me if you don’t want to post, or you can look at this and tell yourself you don’t have time to let a stranger know about a store!). I drive by a place that has a sign saying they are the same thing and I always wonder if I can go in. I would love to buy basic stem wineglasses like they have in restaurants.
Abby Maddox
May 7, 2009 at 6:13 pmHaving a yard sale…Oh dear, I see that first commenter said that. That was my first impression too though!

May 7, 2009 at 6:20 pmetiquette class? is one of your girls trying to teach the other how to sit like a lady?
Becky
May 7, 2009 at 6:22 pmIt looks to me like they are sitting in a waiting room of some sort.
Susan
May 7, 2009 at 6:26 pmCute! My first guess was the beauty parlor but my top answer is that they are getting pedicures! Ah, the life!
molly
May 7, 2009 at 6:31 pmThey could be playing “Lifeguards”
The rug is the pool and all those teddy bears are the lives they have saved!
Paige seems like a very proud lifeguard!
I love your blog! Thanks!!
Elizabeth Mills
May 7, 2009 at 6:36 pmThey are cute! Playing mommy and daddy.
Teale
May 7, 2009 at 6:46 pmWell Morgan looks like she is giving her best impression of Erika in labor, breathing through contractions and gripping the arms of the chair. Paige is you with John Martin, sitting nice and pretty and thankful you aren’t the one pushing out a child at that moment. 🙂
Love Being a Nonny
May 7, 2009 at 6:47 pmBig one potty training the little one.
Hope Atchison
May 7, 2009 at 6:48 pmAre they “nursing” the teddybear?? My children always imitated me when I was nursing. Ok, now people probably think I’m a freak but “more is caught than taught” right? I’m really quite normal. 🙂 I think I ended up on this blog from Lucy and Lauren and Lindsey Salter. Here are all the things I’ve bought/tried after reading your blog…those fish swimsuits from Walmart (last year), the red and white stripe dresses from Walmart this year :), house smell good stuff, nachos with the things from my pantry, chocolate dipped pretzels, sunscreen, Cottage Living…so Thank you! for all the great ideas.
Kara
May 7, 2009 at 6:51 pmThis is hilarious. I can’t wait to find out…looks like Raiger is in charge though whatever it is.
Rebecca
May 7, 2009 at 7:07 pma garage sale!!! oh man, just saw the first answer…oh well.
ski
May 7, 2009 at 7:09 pmSo Morgan, you distract mommy while I go fine the nail polish and we can paint our toe nails…then if we are fast enough we can get JM’s too!
I don’t remember exactly HOW I ran across your blog, but it has become one of my favorites! I have tried almost all of the things from your kitchen and they have ALL been enjoyed! Thanks for sharing!
Michele
May 7, 2009 at 7:13 pmMorgan, as Erika, in the foot soaker and Paige,as Darby, getting painted while multi-tasking (as any other mommy does) with John Martin in her arms!! Adorable!
Finley's Mom
May 7, 2009 at 7:13 pmThey obviously got their hands on our old video camera and have watched the various hours of talk shows that we used to create and record and are recreating them! Too cute! Just wait until they get older and start adding makeup and wardrobe changes to the mix- tee hee!
Amanda Thrasher
May 7, 2009 at 7:14 pm1. Anxiously awaiting puberty.
2. Playing judges for Miss America or Miss USA pageant.
3. playing “wait in line” at DMV to get new driver’s license. (feel certain you have to do this at least once with kids in tow.
4. waiting to have our name called to audition for American Idol.
I need new mugs. been meaning to find restaurant supply in Atlanta

May 7, 2009 at 7:14 pmAre they sitting by the pool?
Kelly Kennedy
May 7, 2009 at 7:16 pmI think they are playing "Darby and Justin: Q & A Round 3". I gotta be right cause Mama needs some mugs!!:) Love, love your blog. I made the white queso for Cinco de Maya and now Jillian Michaels is my best friend.
katydid
May 7, 2009 at 7:26 pmI have sisters, so here’s my guess… the little one on the left (Paige?) has just informed Morgan (?) that while her dress is just darling, she missed a spot while shaving her legs!
The Bordens
May 7, 2009 at 7:29 pmWaiting to be seen at the docs. office. They are 2 cute
katydid
May 7, 2009 at 7:30 pmI have two sisters, so here’s my guess, your daughter on the left (Paige?) has just informed Morgan (?) that her dress is simply darling, but she missed a spot while shaving her legs!
After all, if your sisters can’t be honest with you, who can?!
Rachel
May 7, 2009 at 7:37 pmMy first thought: Darby & Erika.
Final conclusion: POTTY TRAINING 101
Paige is the teacher. Morgan is demonstrating. JM is the student.
Sarah
May 7, 2009 at 7:42 pmI think they’re pretending to be sitting in church, with all the toys as their friends!
Stephanie
May 7, 2009 at 7:45 pmIt looks like Morgan is going to the doctor, Dr. Raiger. Maybe she needs therapy? 😉
The McDonalds
May 7, 2009 at 7:46 pmI think they are sitting like you & Justin sit! One is sitting like Mommy & the other like Daddy sits…
Kristen
May 7, 2009 at 7:52 pmHoda and Kathy Lee?
I have a sister and think makes me crack up thinking about my childhood!
Thanks for the laugh!!!
Becky
May 7, 2009 at 7:54 pmoooorrrrr….it’s coffee talk with linda richman. morgan is linda and she is saying “raiger…your legs ah like buttah”
Kailee
May 7, 2009 at 7:55 pmI have 2 thoughts
1. Morgan looks like an old person using a walker…kinda.
2. Paige is teaching Morgan how to go poo poo on the potty. haha
Katy
May 7, 2009 at 7:58 pmDr Phil? Oprah?
They are darling
Anne
May 7, 2009 at 8:04 pmThey are the judges of some sort of pageant???

May 7, 2009 at 8:21 pmpotty training was my gut reaction… morgan is sure holding on to that “potty” in deep concentration, and paige is waiting so patiently for results. 🙂

Lara
May 7, 2009 at 8:48 pmI was going to say playing Regis and Kelly but it looks like someone had a similar idea already. Playing school?
Can’t wait to hear what the girls were up to!
Adrienne
May 7, 2009 at 8:54 pmPlaying Time -out? Musical chairs? or Princess and the Pea? Whatever they are up to, they are awfully cute!
Jaren
May 7, 2009 at 9:00 pmWe’re having Sunday school, of course! These children (stuffed animals) are our choir. You can join our congregation too. If you can fit in one of our chairs. 🙂

May 7, 2009 at 9:48 pmWaiting patiently in a waiting room area–maybe the doctor’s office? That little bear looks mighty sick laying on his mama’s lap.

Teresa @ Grammy Girlfriend
May 7, 2009 at 10:01 pmI thought talk show too….too cute
Raylan
May 7, 2009 at 11:26 pmMaybe they are pretending like they are at the beach, and they are working on their tan! They are too cute for words 🙂
Love your blog!

May 8, 2009 at 5:21 amI was going to say having a yard sale, but that seems easy. I think they are pilots on a plane because that’s what my boys are doing when they line up chairs (behind each other). I’m sure that’s it. Uh huh. Yep.
Lacey
May 8, 2009 at 5:23 amI think they are pretending to be talk show hosts on The View!

Jenny Lynn
May 8, 2009 at 5:43 amI’m guessing that they are playing “Doctor” and they’re waiting in the doctor’s office!
Carly Winborne
May 8, 2009 at 5:51 amPaige is clearly teaching Morgan how to “sit like a lady.”
But the garage sale comments are cracking me up!

May 8, 2009 at 7:22 amsomething to do with the potty is my first impression and then I saw the car seat? Is JM in there? I say potty!

Jennifer
May 8, 2009 at 7:40 amthey look like they’re on the Today Show, or something. can’t wait to find out!
Rachel
May 8, 2009 at 7:52 am.lovin it. I’m definitely thinking “waiting to go to the hospital for delivery” OR mimicking the shower you had w/ the chair placement.
Tara
May 8, 2009 at 7:56 amI think that they are pretending to be oprah and guest 🙂
Tara
May 8, 2009 at 7:58 amHa, I just realized that another Tara commented before me, with a similar answer! I was going to guess that they were pretending to be Regis and Kelly! 🙂
Julie
May 8, 2009 at 7:59 amThey are precious. Looks like they might be playing school. Paige looks like the principal or teacher and Morgan looks like she might be in trouble. Maybe the pile of friends are already in time out. 🙂 Too cute, whatever they have dreamed up!

Melanie
May 8, 2009 at 8:35 amDarby asks, “What are you ladies doing?”
Paige, with her legs crossed, looks at Morgan then replies, “Sister said if we were quiet the magic carpet wouldn’t know we were here and it would start flying…and then we could ride on it….”
Lydia
May 8, 2009 at 8:40 amThey are definitely impersonating Mommy & MommaSissy….maybe anticipating the arrival of MommaSissy's baby??!
LindsB
May 8, 2009 at 8:46 amThey are too cute for words! I guess that they are hosting a talk show, but a bunch of people beat me to it.
Cant wait to find out though
J and C
May 8, 2009 at 9:04 amMorgan just got finished answering her first Miss America question, “How do you feel blogging has influenced the world?”
Paige was a little worried at how good her answer had been, and was checking out the competition. Her own question “How do you properly care for and love a Teddy bear?” Seemed a little less flashy.
Meredith
May 8, 2009 at 9:06 amI didn’t have time to read through the comments, so my apologies if I’ve duplicated someone else’s guess.
My first guess was church, but I think I have a better one. Maybe they are acting out a baby shower since you had one at your house recently.
I love your blog! Thank you for sharing with us!

owens19@cox.net
May 8, 2009 at 9:07 amI was thinking that since you have (or still have) family in town…maybe they have packed their things to go home with them?
KMR
May 8, 2009 at 9:59 amI think they are playing Mommies having coffee.

May 8, 2009 at 11:30 amOh, my guesses are already taken too…
Here they are anyway, 😉
Possible ideas…
Yard sale (Where are the wicker chairs?)
Hanging out by the pool (indoors)
Playing Cottilion… “This is how a lady sits, legs together or legs crossed…”
I positively adore those mugs. They look exactly like the mugs we used at Easter brunch. I asked for the name of the place they came from, then checked it out online but I couldn’t find it. Those are seriously the perfect mugs!!!

“Oops.”
Unmistakably BLESSED
May 8, 2009 at 12:49 pmI haven’t a clue what they’re up to, but upon seeing the little darlings, I’m convinced that you need a copy of “White Gloves and Party Manners”, a darling etiquette book my mother (tried to) raise me on! Make you deal, send me some mugs, I’ll send you the book!! A blogger friend and follower . . . Amanda
Jacci
May 8, 2009 at 1:57 pmHmmm…. I have no idea what you like to watch on television, but your little gal there on the left is certainly putting on a “grown-up” character with her sweet little leg crossed like that. I’ll say they are pretending to be the ladies on The View 🙂
Sarah's Fab Day
May 8, 2009 at 2:06 pmI know I didn’t get in on time but my first thought is they are playing Oprah.
live a colorful life
May 8, 2009 at 4:28 pmI’m too late, but I think they are judges for Project Runway.

May 8, 2009 at 5:26 pmLOL! After reading someone said
“they are Regis and Kelly” I had to go back and look at the photo again. BAH ha ha ha ha ha
So true.
Oh, I hope that’s what it is.
Marybeth
May 8, 2009 at 5:28 pmThey are King and Queen…
They are having a pageant for Miss America…
Oh my goodness, you don’t let them watch American Idol do you?? Surely not… they are judging American Idol?
They are being loving sisters, doing what sisters do best, hanging out with each other.
