A Wise Girl...

On the way home from the park this morning Hannah was singing "The Wise Man Built His House Upon The Rock."

Well here is what Hannah's version was -

The wise man built his house upon the boat...the rains came down and the floods came up...and the house on the boat stuck together and floated away!

Hannah's 5th Birthday Party! (Part One)

On Saturday we had Hannah's birthday party! It was so much fun. She got so many presents her Daddy and I decided she is definitely spoiled rotten ;)
But we're sure happy she's a part of our little family.
This is part one of all the birthday pictures. (The rest are on Jared's phone, so I'll have to wait and upload them when his phone's available.)

Hannah wanted a "Spooky Halloween Birthday" so she could dress up in costumes and have fun. Here are two of our cuties all dressed up as princesses wearing spooky googly eyes!

 

Daddy, the Headless Horseman ;)

 

Lupi made Hannah a super creepy zombie cake! Hannah LOVED it!

 

Aunt Heather, cousins William and Joshua, and Grandpa got to come to the party too!

 

Grandpa had fun relaxing with Peepa.

Spooky masks!

 

Bye, bye for now! We'll post the rest of the pictures soon!

Hannah's School Birthday

Yesterday was Hannah's 5th birthday! We're going to celebrate with a "Spooky Halloween Birthday Party" tomorrow. But Hannah's day yesterday was extra special. Before her Daddy left for work he gave her an amazing new One Direction back pack. She got to open a birthday card from Grandma and found 5 whole dollars! She says she's, "going to go shopping and buy some more One Direction stuff!" Then, at school her class has been incubating chicken eggs. They hatched a couple of days ago and yesterday all the children got to hold the newly hatched fluffy little chicks. And at snack time her whole class sang her "Happy Birthday." It was a very good day :)

Epic

Aaron has informed me, "You will never lead an epic life because you're too cautious. If you want to have an epic life, you have to be like me and do lots of stuff that could be deadly".

Real Men

Aaron was getting ready to walk his friend Ethan home. He came out with his bow and arrow strung across his back. I told him he needed to put it away because it wasn't safe to walk around a neighborhood with a strung bow and arrow.
Aaron protested that if someone tried to kidnap him how was he supposed to fight them off if he didn't have his bow and arrow!?!
I replied, "You can take your pocket knife or the pepper spray if your worried about it."
Aaron rolled his eyes at me and said in a tone of deep disgust, "Pocket knifes and pepper spray are for wimps! Bow and arrows are for real men!"

Silly Girl

Hannah is definitely our silliest little girl. She has an imagination and she lives in it! Below are two conversations from this week...



Hannah: Mom, I'm allergic to bunny rabbits.

Me: But I thought you liked bunny rabbits.

Hannah: Well, I'm only allergic to the ones that shoot fire out of their eyes.



Hannah: Emma when your at school today I'm gonna hold your mice.

Emma: Hannah, you have to be careful, if you squeeze any of them then I'm gonna squeeze you!

Hannah (rolling her eyes at Em and speaking in an amused voice): You couldn't even pop my head of.

Now!

Little Miss Clara has learned the word "now." Which unfortunately she has decided replaces the word "please." I know it's awful and rude but it's hilarious to hear such a teeny tiny little person trying to boss us all around when she wants something. "Book! Now!... Bottle! Now!...Eat! Now!" I keep saying, "No, no Clara, say please!" Then after she does I run into my room and crack up.
