Aging...

...she would prefer not to do it.

Adelyn doesn't want to be 65 - she'd like to be just 5 - "...because 65 is big and old...like a dinosaur".

And today...

....is day #3.

Rain Boots

Today marks day #2 of Adelyn wearing her Lady Bug Rain Boots, and there's no rain in the forecast until Saturday when we get the leftover rains of Tropical Storm Hannah.

This is all very reminiscent of the pink cowboy boots from last year....

(I'll be back later with pictures.)

Spelling Words

"C.....A.....cross spells cat!!"

Climbing the Curtains - Literally

Last night, while tucking Adelyn into bed, I noticed one side of the brackets that hold her curtain rod in place were coming out of the wall. I called Adam up to see if he knew anything about it - nope. We then asked Adelyn what happened, "I wanted to touch my butterflies." She has butterflies hanging from her ceiling, and she tried to climb up the curtains in an effort touch them. She's quite the little problem solver. (and I think she's going to make me grey prematurely)

Oh Adelyn...

(We were on our way to my mom's house tonight, and Cloe started fussing and crying in her carseat.)

AB: Cloe's freakin' out in her head.
Me: Adelyn, you don't say freakin'.
AB: Momma, can you say it for me? So I don't have to say it again?



(Later on we were listening to the radio on our way home....)

AB: (laughs) Momma, why does he call his kids crackers? (laughs)

The song was Firecracker by Josh Turner which is not about crackers or kids. If you check it out, you'll know what I'm talking about....

Camping

Last night was Adebug and Daddy's much anticipated camping "trip". Adebug was so excited to sleep in the tent. We got her Ariel sleeping bag and princess pillow all set up so she could be "comfy cozy".

(how we camped) (how they camped - I much prefer their "camping" - no bugs or strange woodsy sounds)

Then she and Daddy made s'mores, which Adebug decided were far "too tasty" for her liking, so she only ate about 2 bites.

She also had some huge glow sticks!

Ice Cream

Yesterday we made homemade ice cream. It was delicious. Adebug added all the ingredients, but decided the bag was too heavy and cold to shake by herself.

It wasn't too cold to eat though!

Pockets

(Adebug starts crying in her bedroom)

Me: Why are you crying?
AB: Because I want to chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange my skiiiiiiiiiiiiiirt
Me: Why do you want to change your skirt?
AB: Becaaaaaaaaaaaause it doesn't have pooooooooooooockets. (cry cry sob sob) I neeeeeeeeed pockets for my stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuff.

Band Aids

I had to run down to the base today for a biopsy, so I picked the girls up from daycare early, because I'm not feeling well and didn't go to work. On the way home Adebug and I were discussing my doctor's appointment and the band aid on my arm. She says, "When I have a rash on my bottom, I can have a band aid on my arm, ok?" Sure....
