Updates?

So, I pretty much use Facebook as my blog, posting pics and lines about the girls.

I would like to start blogging it. Who knows if this will stick?

How about just today-
JoElle got her very first pimple- she's almost 9. She is pretty nonchalant about it. I rushed to Walgreens to get her anti-acne cream and some foundation for coverage. She liked the makeup!

I know a soon as I started breaking out, I started using my sisters makeup!

Alexa can't quite fall asleep because she is super super excited that tomorrow is her very first field trip as a kindergartner!

They are going to a farm, she has her pink cowgirl boots and she is ready to go!!!

Wish I were there to take pics!!
I can't wait for her fun stories!

Whose Child is This?

Whose child is this?

JoElle worked out for 3 hours this morning at gymnastics, including 25 minutes of running (not jogging), now she is bored and is going in the backyard to run more....

Chocolate hair?

Alexa just asked me, "Mommy, do I need chocolate [marker] for Dora's hair?"

hehe, so cute!

Will You Marry Me, Daddy?

So, we are driving home from the grocery school and out of the blue, Alexa informs me, "Mommy, I want to get married."

I tried to explain to her that she has to be older to get married.

Her response: No, I want to get married AS A LITTLE KID.
Her emphasis, not mine.

I figured I could trap her this way, "So, who are you going to marry?"

Her response: "Nobody! I am getting married by myself."

I couldn't help but giggle at that answer! Then I explain that she has to marry SOMEONE.

Her response: "I am going to marry Daddy!"

Present for JoElle's Teacher

We made chocolate chip cookies a few days ago, so we decided to give some to JoElle's teacher, Mrs. Watson. I figured, get it out of the way early so I don't procrastinate until it's too late...

But just chocolate chip wasn't good enough for JoElle, she also wanted to make gingerbread cookies! She decorated them for her teacher and they came out cute. Forgot to snap pics before sending them off today, but oh well!

JoElle made Mrs. Watson some art work, too. On one pic, she wrote "I love u Mrs. Watson" and "U are the best"

Speaking of writing, she is writing sentences and coming real close to spelling things correctly! She moved up to Level 2 readers at school, her reading is coming along so well, we are proud of her! JoElle has learned her 3rd set of sight words already within less than two weeks or so (kinda lost track with Thanksgiving)
