Around the House

We haven't been too exciting recently. We were supposed to have a fun weekend with Chris's sister and kids visiting and going to Six Flags but that all fell through. I think I am the most sad of anyone that we didn't get to go! Instead we kept our babysitter and took Elliott to see Monsters V Aliens in 3D. It was really cool. At least Chris and I thought so. E enjoyed wearing the glassed for about 10 minutes then she was done with it. Not at all impressed with the 3D.

Elliott has been keeping me crazy by changing clothes as many as 5 times a day. Today she had a complete meltdown about a little pigtail that was apparently too high. Boy am I getting paid back for some things now. My mom says she never wished the way I acted as a kid on me for my kids. I will go on the record now as saying I hope Elliott gets a child that acts exactly like this! I will laugh and laugh and laugh.

Here is a conversation from the other night
E: I will not be like you when I grow up
Me: What kind of things do I do that you won't do?
E:Vacuum
Me: What else?
E: Mop
Me: Who will vacuum and mop your house then?
E: you


Here's B in her highchair wondering why I have to take pictures all the time. E was having fun mixing water with food color in it to see what colors she could make. She enjoyed making nasty black water the most.
B is talking on the phone here, you can't see it. She was cracking me up because every time I handed the phone back to her she would open her mouth like this.
E doing flips in her chair. B now tries to also do flips in the chair.
E thought this Hokey Poky Elmo was so cool at our friends house. She wanted to hold onto him while he sang and got very mad when he fell down.

E's comment about mopping and vacuuming actually made me snort out loud. What a pair of cuties!!

How funny - you are going to have your hands full with Elliott :) my mom says all the time how I need to watch out if Elizabeth is anything like I was (which I think she is!) Our E's are 2 peas in a pod!

I was laughing so hard out loud from the vacuuming and mopping comments too. I had so much fun w/ you at six flags and then got to thinking... What would Miss E do if you took all her clothes away except for five dresses - that's what my mom did to me... she sent the to a third world country... not kidding!
