Happy Days

Happy feet!

Happy Pajama Day! Lizzie has looked forward to this day all year. Finally "P" week has come to her preschool.

Check In

We have a computer system in our church nursery that prints out name tags for children. For close to 5 years we have used this system. Well, Anna Claire is now reading EVERYTHING she sees. Yesterday, Russ walked her to her class and they passed one of the computers and she noticed the sign above the computer "Check-In." She said, "Daddy, I know what that sign says: Chicken."

The President

The other day Anna Claire said, "Mommy, which president do we go for? Do we go for Arack Obama?" And I said, "Well, there is only one option right now so we go for him and we pray for him." Then I said, "Do you have friends at school that go for Arack Obama?" She said, "Yeah, some do but lots of them don't."
The topics of 5 year old conversations intrigue me!

Disasters

While I was volunteering in Anna Claire's library this week I came across a book about the Titanic. I found out that the ship hit the infamous iceberg on April 14, 1912. Interestingly, Anna Claire was born on April 14th. Then I remembered that Lizzie was born the day Hurricane Katrina left its mark on New Orleans.
So now when my girls are being so DRAMATIC we refer to them as Rose (from the Titanic movie) and Katrina!
In fact, Rose is making her appearance right now ... gotta go before we sink!

Two funnies ...

Last night I was wearing a gray sweat shirt and black pants around the house while I was cooking dinner. Lizzie came in and gave me a blue, sparkly necklace to wear. After I thanked her for my accessory she said, "Well mommy, I don't really love this shirt on you because it's not rainbow or sparkly. So I thought this necklace might help. I'm not sure it does."

Today, after school, Anna Claire asked me for an IPod where you play games and take pictures. An IPod touch for a 5 year old? I don't think so!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Road Race

Anna Claire ran in her first road race Saturday morning! The race is divided up by grades so Russ ran with her. She ran 1 mile in 11:23, of course Russ timed her. Russ and I have run many races and it was so fun to see Anna Claire run and have a good time. Afterwards we talked about both girls running the race next year. Anna Claire said, "Lizzie, Daddy can run with you next year." And I said, "And I can run with you Anna Claire." Her reply, "No you can't. Who would cheer me on?"
