Lucy Sticks Her Tongue Out

Just Playing

I love Lucy

Preacher's Kids

Karianne told me out of the blue today that she wanted to be a servant when she grew up. I said, "wow, where'd you hear something like that."
She said, "from my music, Sissy Seagull says she wanted to be a servant. So I want to be a servant when I grow up."

Angie chimed in and said, "I want to be a sergeant when I grow up too!"

Karianne asked Amy,"Amy, do you want to be a servant when you grow up?" Amy said, "yeah!"

Karianne told me,"See we ALL want to be servants when we grow up!"

Only Angie and I noticed the subtle play on words and neither of us corrected Karianne. :-)

Trash to treasure

Here's Karianne "not" taking a nap in a chair I just did over. We bought 2 Pottery Barn Kids Chairs at a yard sale for a dollar a piece. I wish I had taken a before picture of them. They were really worn out and had someone else's names embroidered on them. I didn't necessarily want them, but I had them thrown in with a "deal pile" :-). I took them home and took the covers off the chairs. took out the embroidery, washed them and redyed them with Rit Dye. I sewed up the rips, and appliqued flowers on them. Whadya think of them now? Only problem is there are 2 chairs and not 3. Still working on that share thing. :-)

Karianne is too big now for naps so it only looks like she is sleeping here. I usually put her out on the couch at nap time and she has quiet time. She reads books and NEVER falls asleep because like I said, she is too old for that now. :-)

There's a new "mommas darlin" in town

I made this outfit today. It is a size 18month so it fits Amy and Angie. I put it on Amy and she just knew what I wanted her to do somehow. She marched out to the backyard, up against the back fence and flashed me a pose and a smile. A born Mommas Darlin'. :-)

2 year old girl needs to find her forever family

Is this your child?

I am a two year old little girl and everyone who sees my photo says I
am just too cute for words! I have iris albinismus in both of my
eyes. My eyes look beautiful! I am also diagnosed with deafness but I
can talk (my orphanage even says I'm talkative). If you ask me, I can
point to my eyes, ears, nose, and mouth! I know "big" and "small" and
love to read picture books. I also love to sing and play games and
play on the slide. One of my favorite things to do is to dress and
undress baby dolls.

The Case of the bathroom thief update

This is what the girl's bathroom looks like now. The day after I made the last post I caught HER running from the bathroom with a handful of stuff. As punishment we got a laundry basket and made her clean out the bathroom and put everything in the basket and we took it away. All that is left is the basics: tp, soap, towel and toothbrushes.
We felt pretty good that we had took care of the problem- for one day. Today Brent went into that bathroom and said, "where's the soap?" I thought maybe we had taken it away too but he looked around and found it, yup in her bed with the toddler toilet seat! stripped her bed and threw everything in the wash took the soap and toilet seat away.
At nap time, she came out to go to the bathroom and Brent caught her scurrying back to her bed with the the toothbrushes.
I think we are going to get some therapy for that child.
