Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt
Nomeo & Juliet
As hard as I try as a mother to watch everything at least once (or at least snippets of it over my shoulder) a time or two one slips by… First there was “My babysitter is a Vampire” which came on pretty darn early… 7pm I think and right after a kid show so I think it was on for 10 minutes or so before I realized what they were watching. Really? And they STILL beg to see that stupid show. But without a doubt the funniest was Gnomeo and Juliet. I bought it at Wal-Mart and popped it in the DVD player for Hannah. She was VERY quiet for our long drive then out of the silence I hear a huge GASP “HE BROKE!” For those of you who have not seen the show Gnomeo and Juliet are garden gnomes hence I am guessing poor Gnomeo bit the dust. I still haven’t watched the movie but the girls still watch it over and over and over and haven’t gotten sick of it since.
OMG!
I couldn’t help myself. Katie and I went school supply and new clothes shopping. We didn’t want to leave Hannah out so we picked up a couple dresses for her. When Katie pulled the dress out of the bag Hannah squealed OMG! It is SO adorable. We were CRACKING up. Just like a little valley girl. Too funny on a 4 year old.
Spider Bite
Hannah, “It’s not funny that I got a spider bite. But it is funny that I thought my boobie was a spider bite.” she says laughing.
Hannah-isms
Me to H: “What did you do yesterday?” H “went swimming, played golf. OH and Daddy made a Tweet Tweet!” John “A birdie”. ha ha!
For Katie so she can show Ms. Pat her dance.
; )
Hoppy Easter!
This was a fun year. Hannah is old enough to really hunt and this is the first year she didn’t have a green hand dying the eggs! ha ha! For Katie she was so excited she could hardly sleep. She informed us she heard the Easter Bunny hopping around downstairs and even sounded out the sound his little paws made hopping on our floor. We couldn’t believe it! And yes of course he brought their favorite candy “jolly ranchers” amongst other assorted goodies. And for the finally yes, EGG WARS!!! So far the blue egg reigns…




















Baby Chics
Girlfriend!
John “Come on Girlfriend!”
Hannah “I’m NOT your girlfriend! MOMMY is your girlfriend.”
John “You are absolutely right.”
You tell him Hannah!
Learning to Ice Skate
I walk into the bathroom and find Hannah head to toe in baby powder sliding around in it. I ask her what she is doing and she reply’s “Learning to ice skate!” Oh how I wish I had my camera!!!
