Kitty-Kat

Doing own makeup for school tomorrow. Halloween kitty

BOYS!

On the way to school:

Guess what mom? I now sit at table 3, not table 6.

me: 0h? Why?

R: I don't know but I sit with Sloan and Braxton. Braxton told me every girl in the world is his girlfriend. That makes four boys that are in love with me. Mom! can you help me out of this?

How You Dowing?

Don't you love the way she spelled 'doing' ?

Singing

Now she is listening to Adele and she is singing that she has a fickle heart and bitterness!!!

Gummies

"Stuck on gummies, 'cause gummies are stuck on me!!"

Green Eggs and Ham

She read it with inflexion and great enthusiasm !!

ICE

"Mom, I want a piece of ice that doesn't have a partner."

Shopping Silliness

Pizza and the Mall With BFFs

Constitution Day

Emma Long Lake

First Grade Offices

R told me the cutest thing last week . She said they all have offices and I said to this :

"How can a first grader have an office?"

To which she said, "I'm telling you mom, we have offices! "

As I asked more questions I found out the office for a first grader is a partition with three panels- cardboard -that they take out and put around their papers to ensure privacy aka cheating prevention, I suppose.

I Hope She Always Feels This Passionate!

"Momma, I love you to the other worlds and back, to all the planets on the way to the Sun I will circle it, lay down and die!"

Jordan and Annie

Kudos and beyond for our neighbor and friend Jordan. She plays tirelessly with Annie even though she's in 4th grade. She teaches her to be silly and follow her heart. She's patient and kind and Annie always praises their time together.

It's All A Big Blank

"Mom: just so you know whenever I sing or dance, my mind is totally empty: it is blank."

Welcome, Buddy!

Buddy, the newest member of our family!

First Day of First Grade

 

MY Sleeping beauty

Over Night Fun

Missing my little gal pal. She's spending the night with her (great) aunt and uncle, Marybeth and Roger.

Duck Dynasty Fan

Me: Royanne, did you know that Duck Dynasty will be starting soon?
Royanne: No: when?
Me: I don't know how long it's going to be but did you know there will be two new people on the new season?
Royanne: No, who are they?
Me: you will never believe it!!!
Royanne: Why? Who are they?
Me: one is the fourth brother; his name is Alan and the other one.... you will NEVER believe it!
Royanne: Who?
Me: Si’s wife !!!!
Royanne: I don't believe it!!
Me: Do you think she will be like Si or do you think she will be real quiet?

Royanne: she will probably say 'Hit the road, Jack.  Hey!!'

And then she said, " What if she has a beard !!!!!"

SPIDER!

There was a big hairy spider in the bedroom it was not a tarantula but it was ugly . Royanne was screaming. She's not usually one to scream at bugs.
I killed it and she said," I was so scared I had hot flashes!!"

Co Birthday Celebration!

Self Portrait, Day 4

Grandma Would NOT Approve!

She's a kid ONLY ONCE. Yes, I am allowing R to dance AND
 jump on my Tempur-pedic bed.

She's listening to ABBA's Dancing Queen!!!

Happy Birthday! Breakfast in Bed

SIX years ago, at this very time, I was gripping the dash board screaming,

 "I can't do this!!"

 Happy Birthday my darling most excellent Annie!!!





She said she wanted a surprise party, I said OK. Then she planned it. Had the cousins and a few gals over from the neighborhood, nothing fancy.

Airport Patriotism

As we walked down the hallway of flags she began to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
My big first grader!

HUH?

I think R got knocked on the head, real hard, recently.

She told me she has too many clothes!

I pulled up in the driveway after field day. For 45 seconds
we just sat there in the car and the a/c in silence.
I said "So, Royanne, are you too tired to go in the house?"
One second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds then ...
"What if I am?"



 We're. WHOOPED!

Toe Nails

Royanne wants to have her toe nails painted again
and she wants them to be rainbow’ed. 

R: "Mom, how many colors are there in the rainbow?"
Me: "six, I think. Why?"
R: "oh no! I wish I had 6 toes."

Relaxation

Rewarded

Royanne was chosen as the Citizen of the Month.
She's proud.

Crowe's Nest Farm!

Tears, Unexplained

Royanne was really upset after church last night, cried all the way home. Poor kiddo; thinks too much sometimes, and too deeply.

Box Fun

I thought she was playing in the lawn mower box!

Sass

NEW SHOES!

Springtime

Big Hearted

Annie has a BIG heart. In order to go to Chuck E. Cheese, she had to get greens at school for a month. She was struggling with too many yellows. Well, she's reached her goal. I told her she could pick one friend to take. She picked the brother of her friend Neila. Gabriel is confined to a wheelchair and doesn't get to do much. I am so proud of her choice!!!

Mini Me

I don't know why he got mad.

Bruce was walking from the kitchen sink to the front door. He had a flowerpot catchy plate thing, 14 inches across, full of water. I piped up & said, " It would be a lot easier if you used the hose outside. What if you spill some, forget, & fall down later?" He said, " I won't!" Then he said, "Royanne, open the front door for me!" She had been watching TV and she said "Why? What are you doing with that?"  And he said," It is water for the birds." And she said, " It would be a lot easier if you used the hose outside."

hahahahaha!

Tardiness

We were late to church again today. Unlike school, no tardy slip is issued. There were 2 dress changes, 2 sock changes, several shoe refusals. If her feet are growing at the rate she claims, she'll be my size next week!!

Diversion, definition of

"Daddy! Look! Someone stole your eyebrow!! Here, let me help"
She reached up and covered his eyes.
Then she said, "That's what you call a diversion!"

A Quick Prayer

During the movie THE BIBLE, when Abram and Lot's people were fighting over the land, Annie wanted to hold hands and pray for their safety. So, we did!

Spelling Test

We celebrated at McD's with the Donaldsons.......Roy made 100% on her spelling test, on the second try. Bruce came home a 1/4 sheet cake. R was delighted!!!

Skip To My Lou

It is so cute to drop Annie off at the curb in front of her school where she sees 2 friends walking in, and they all 3 skip in together.

Say What?

So Bruce says "I opened a piece of mail today and it had tickets in it. Guess where to?"
Royanne says " Paradise?"

Gotta love Coaches Walden and Vickers playing cool music during gym and Run4Life!!
