Muppet Babies

Addie cracks me up. I walked into her room a couple days ago, and this is what I saw. I couldn't not take pictures of her.

My new love

I am loathe to post this, but I love it so much I just have to do it. I saw this on another blog that I stalk occasionally (Burlap and Blue) and thought, I can do that. So I did.

Chalkboard Dessert Plates.

I am so in love with the practice one I made that I have decided to make them for Christmas presents this year. So, if you are lucky enough to be on mine or Jason's Home teaching or Visiting teaching routes, you now know what to expect. (Leanne, you do not get two!) If you are not so lucky, now would be a good time to call Sis. Meyers, or Bro. Smith and request a change. And yes, my lucky Sisters-in-law, you will be getting them too.

So without further ado, the Dessert Plate....

Conversations with Adelaide

Everyday, starting as soon as the big sisters are safely deposited at school, Addie asks me the following questions:

Addie: Mommy, Emme go? (she leaves out the "where" in her sentence)

Me: Emme's at school.

Addie: Oh. (pause) Ivy go?

Me: Ivy's at school.

Addie: Oh. (pause) Mommy, Daddy go?

Me: He's at work.

Addie: Oh. (pause) Paul go?

Me: Paul's at work too.

Addie: Mommy, Addie go?

Me: Your in the stoller (or possibly the car.)

Addie: Oh. Mommy go?

Me: I'm right here with you.

Addie: Oh.

Now wait about 10 minutes, and start the entire conversation again. If you do that about 20 times, you'll understand what my day is like with Adelaide.

Off To School Again!

Today is the first day of school for Jason and the girls. I don't know who is more excited, them or me! I asked Emilie if she wanted me to walk her to class today. Her response was " Mom I'm in 4th grade now, don't you think I'm a little old for that." (Please insert the sarcastic teen voice for more accuracy when reading that.)

Jason too refused my offer to walk him to class today. He thought it would be awkward or something.

So I walked a very happy Ivy to her class this morning. She remembered where her locker and desk are, and was very happy to show off her little sister to her new teacher.

Speaking of, Adelaide keeps asking me where her sisters are. I think its too quiet in the house for her right now. But I'm sure she'll get over it when she realizes she has me all to herself again.

So a happy first day to my family, and to everyone else's too.
