In just a few words!

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful! It was in the 60's and sunny. When I picked up the kids from school I said I would sit out front so that they could ride their bikes for awhile. In the 45 mins I was outside each of children's personality came out "in just a few words"! I thought about playing a game to see if you could match the statement to the child but I will just tell you.

Ever the Big Brother
Taylor: Don't you think we should have helmets on? I think the girls need helmets on! Have you seen the neighbors flag pole? It doesn't look good, maybe we should go tell them.

High fashion
Makayla: I look pretty good in your sunglasses Mom! Mom, its not fair! Why can't red heads tan? I think everyone should be able to tan. I want to be tan! (so do I my dear!)

I'm not sure what to say about this statement or what this says about her personality...
Emily (Age 3): Mom, I think I am going to like group dating better then single dating! And in the next breath... I can't wait to marry Eric. He has a nice name doesn't he? I am growing up for him!

I think I am most surprised by Emily's comment. So hilarious. I haven't been around Emily that much and don't know her that well. It sounds like you are going to have some fun with her. She sounds way older than her age, thats for sure. Fun fun.

I am so proud of you, my friend, for making the appointment. I think that I will add a disclaimer to my challenge, take a look...

How does a 3 year old know about group dating?! I don't think I knew about group dating until I was like 12!

And being tan is overrated. You red heads have beautiful skin!

I think Emily takes after her Mommy. :) That is too cute- Tim and I had a good laugh. Hope your picture taking is coming along good... mine not so much. I am trying, but it looks like mine will have to be a little more sporatic through out the year.

Kids are way to funny! And yours are so cute! It was cool to hang out with you for New Years and get to know you a little bit.
