Our Busy Little World
May. 7, 2008 - Odds N Ends
You know you've been reading old books when your five year old comes up to you and says "Mother, may I have my water, for I do thirst?"
Hannah continues her habit of making us smile with her choice of words. She loves coloring pages, and upon inspecting one particularly lovely one, she announced that it was "enormous pretty!"
Hannah also seems to be having a hard time figuring out the word chiropractor. I had an appointment one day, and each time she mentioned it, the word came out differently. Our two favorites were "are you going to the firecracker?" And "what doctor is it? The piletractor?"
Tonight, I wasn't feeling very well. I started to get a little woozy at the table (think I'm fighting a bug), and I turned toward Matt and said something to the effect that my head felt heavy, I thought I was getting a fever, and I felt like I was just going to flop over. Isabelle, who was sitting next to me, stared at me intensly. I asked if she thought I was getting sick. She stared yet more deeply into my eyes for a moment, then a big grin spread across her face as she announced, in all confidence, "Allergies!"
When I'm feeling better I've got to post about our new school books for Autumn. I'm so excited about school this year! Instead of a package I hand picked everything out and we just can't wait to dig in! But for now I have some pictures to catch up on, so enjoy:
Juliette found a blanket in the hamper, so she just crawled right in to rest!
Alyssa's graduated to a big high chair, and she's making it clear she'd much prefer "big girl" food to go with it - "no pabulum for me!"
Our good friends Matt and Hilary came out for a little visit - we were so thrilled to see them and had a wonderful time together!
Isn't it so sweet to catch up with dear friends?
Isabelle just loved Hilary - how could she not? She's beautiful as well as sweet and kind!
Ok, so I may have posed the hug, but I still thought it was cute.
Daddy picked these flowers out for Isabelle after her dance recital. She loves them so much that they are still in a vase by her bed, even though they're now completely dead and dried out! We've got to rescue them from the vase and find a good place to hang them!
We finally have some spring flowers bringing color to the yard!

Your kids say the funniest things!! I always get a good chuckle out of their choice of words!
That highchair looks great!! My youngest made it clear early on she'd rather eat real food too!!!
