{a lil spice, but mostly nice}

Ah my little Zoee--3 years old, getting so big and full of spunk! she definitely is the one that gives us a run for our money. This little girl knows exactly what she wants, and goes for it! and i hope she will always go full force for things that she wants in life; and that we teach her that the possibilities are endless! there is nothing wrong with a strong willed girl, right!:) but lets be honest, at bedtime it can be a bugger..
Z girl--i love that you are so sporty, and hop, skip and jump wherever you go, that you will pick up any bug, that you change your clothes 5 times a day, that you love to be cuddled, that you are a princess at heart, that you have to tuck in 50 stuffed animals into your bed at night, that you more often times than not have your shoes on the wrong feet, that you have your daddy wrapped around your little finger, that you wrestle caleb, and that i get to watch you in your many adventures ahead~

Zoee-ism of the week-I wouldn't let her play playhouse disney on the computer, and she looked right at me and said (in her lil high voice)-well, you are just a mean old lady, and folded her arms across her chest with a humph!- i must admit that i had to laugh--and yes, i am feeling all of my 29 years this week:) i need a nap...

We had to go out for a grasshopper hunt the other day, since all of our caterpillars have turned into butterflies~ {what is it with my kiddos and crawly things?}I don't pick up any insects, so the kiddos were on their own in this adventure, but lo and behold they found a lot--yipes!

I love a little sassafras in a gal. Definitely a top quality!!

Miss Nora's bow is looking' good. Such a score. Her hair is looking almost like it's been streaked. Have you been taking her with you to the salon?! Plus, I love her cardigan. Very sweet.

Thanks for organizing that outing last night. Good times, indeed.
