pieces of me

Ready for School

So Candy goes out of town for a "girls weekend" Thursday through Sunday I might add.  Before she leaves she laid out clothes for the girls and instructed Laura to do their hair. 

Ok so I know that I am not the best at matching clothes or fixing hair but come on, you be the judge, these kids look very cute.  They both helped pick out their clothes and decided to decorate their hair.  Personally I think it looks good.  And if it doesn't then maybe Candy will think twice about abandoning me and the kids just to have a few days of relaxation and fun without having to cut up someone's meat or wipe a nose that isn't hers or any of the thousands of things she does every day to make sure we all get out the door on time and dressed appropriately  for the day. 

Well I guess this will also teach her to leave her passwords around where I can find them.

Have a great day and remember, cute is in the eyes of the beholder.

i boy

will is becoming such a little independent boy these days.  he gets very upset when he is not allowed to do things himself.  he now considers himself a "big boy".  one thing that he does not like is to be called anything but boy.  i will walk into his room to get him up from his nap and say "hey sugar".  he promptly says "no i boy".  it is so funny.  no matter what you say to him he comes back with "i boy".  he is always very funny about telling me when there is a "big mess" as relation to my past post.  when we are driving down the road and he sees something that he considers to be a "big mess" he will tell me.  so when other people in public comment on how cute he is, i usually will say "yes, and he is a mess".  he will always turn to me and say "i not mess" as he is pointing to his clothes to show me he indeed has not made a mess.  so sweet!  other sayings he has right now:
- lots (as he is waving his hands in the air in circles) this is when he wants a lot of something. 
- big one...meaning this is big.
- one more...asking for another one.
- b r b r b r....this is his name & the alphabet.   hannah will often times spell his name, so if you ask him his name he will not say will but spell it for you. also, when he sees a  letters on something, he will say b.
- much...i love you too. 
- yes, yes....he has gotten into when you tell him no about something he will say yes-yes in return trying to convince you his is right and knows what he is talking about. (wow - wonder where he learned this???)

just in case you are wondering......he is definitely spoiled rotten.  but when you are this cute -- how can you not be????

7 years old

yep...our baby girl is 7.  can you believe it?  emily is a very sweet and compassionate child.  she likes to help others and is always wanting to please everyone around her.  she will usually think about others before herself.  anytime she has her own money to spend she will buy something for hannah and will before she will look for herself.  she loves school. she is often put in leadership roles at school.   she loves to dance and sing.  she is all into picking out the perfect outfit and often can be found in front of the mirror fixing her hair.  her daddy says she is becoming more and more like her mother everyday.  she is not a baby anymore and that makes me so sad.  daddy loves to have them grow up and i would love to freeze this time and keep them little forever.  but i guess if they do have to grow up, i am glad she is growing into the person she is. 

our sweet emmy.  we love you and you make us very proud.
