5 ALREADY

I've decided that blogging is a little like house cleaning if you don't keep up then it can get a little overwhelming...and so much has happened in the last copule of months that I am more that OVERWHELMED!!! I also haven't downloaded most of my pictures so this is it for right now!

LUCY IS 5...

 

Can you believe how big and cute she is...so many things that this once 4 but now 5 year old can do. She has developed a new sense of independence and responsibility that can only come when you turn 5. She no longer wants my help to make her bed (yeah) she can choose her outfits (no pants for her, only dresses and skirts...the twirlier the better), she is very opinionated about how her hair should be styled so that the other kids wont make fun of her (is it really happening already ), and honestly she is getting more and more pleasant to have around...not that she wasn't before but you know what I mean! Some of my favorite little things and not so favorite little things that she has said go a little something like this:

LUCY: Hey mom didn't your chesties used to be way up there?
MOM: Thanks Lucy I don't think I noticed (do you think that is grounds for a little lift?)

LUCY: MOM! I don't want to wear my skirt like that!!
MOM: Lucy it looks funny to have your shirt tucked in..look I'm wearing mine untucked!)
LUCY: (hands on hips and said rather matter-of-factly) Well...don't you think your the boss of my clothes!

LUCY: Mom I'm a really gross kid
MOM: what makes you a gross kid
LUCY: well sometimes after I go to the potty I get stuff on my panties and that makes me a REALLLY gross kid!

LUCY: Mom at school the kids say FART!
MOM: Well that's okay but at our house we say TOOT!
LUCY: If it's big is it a FART and when it is small it's a TOOT?
MOM: NO! it is always a TOOT and when small enough it is a FLUFF!! (call me old fashioned but I just can't use the F word!)

 

This picture just had to make is on the blog. Evie is...well, Evie!! She is getting more and more personality by the day and keeps us constantly laughing!

Here is the here and now with Evie:
I repeat just about every word that is said!
I love to say "I am CRAZY" and "I am BONKERS"
my smile is about a mile wide and use it as my defense against some of my acts of mischief!
I am a messy messy messy eater and have been nicknamed "pig pen"! (hope it doesn't stick)
I love to perform with my sister Lucy and am her little echo
I love to giggle and have a contagious laugh just like my sister Lucy.
My hair is now past my shoulder blades and I now give my mom 10 seconds instead of 5 to style it!!
I am very social and will pretty much go up to anyone especially if they have food.
My favorite songs are sleeping bunnies, vroom to the moon, popcorn popping, & Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.
