video thursday- harper's fashion advice part 2

where do i begin.

a. she thought i said "panties" instead of peonies? um, awwwkward. please note what J says after she says panties.

b. TENDER?????

c. what in the Jose was Sadie doing with a binkie?

d. yes, she thinks that headbands are called "hus-bands". i never correct her when she says words wrong, one day she will say everything right and i will miss these days!

e.i think she is the coolest kid in the universe for saying that "sugarettes" are not a cool cessory.

f. sorry this is so loooong. girl is a bit of a scatterbrain. HEE!

 

 

and also- here's a little video bonus.

the vocal stylings of the howell sisters, who are LOVING bruno mars these days.

please note that i have convinced them it's "fun" instead of "dumb" and "dancing SHOES" instead of "dancing juice".

 

 

have a beautiful st.patrick's day!!

xoxo

[Kim R]

Love this week's 'ashion show. Tiaras definitely can be worn with anything!

Thanks for the bonus video, too.

[Jocelyn]

How precious...I so enjoyed the Show and the song was perfect!!!

You are truly blessed!!!!

Thanks for sharing!!! :-)

[Liz]

Oh man... I about peed my pants laughing at the panties comment!

Harper cracks me right up. I cannot wait to have a kiddo with a personality just as big!

[Joanne]

I am absolutely loving these videos....I'm so glad I'm learning about 'ashion!

[Sharon Osborn]

Please tell Harper that I wore my tiara to school today just in honor of her "ashion" tips! (doesn't matter that I am 50 does it?)

[Stephanie]

they crack me up !!!!! funny girls !!! wonderful future ahead of them !!!

[dorian]

I can't wait to see her Live from the Red Carpet 20 years from now!!!!!

[Michelle]

This is just so darn cute and so funny!!!! She cracks me up too!!! I wish my 4 yr old wouldn't run when he sees the camera. He can be so funny. It would be great to get it on tape.

[MarieP]

Oh, she just kills me! I am sooooo looking forward to the next 'ashion episode, from which I will be learning all about shoes.

[sheila hardie]

LOL!!!! Oh my that was funny!! I so agree Harper sugarettes are nasty and not ashion :-)

[Mel]

Harper is the CUTEST. And she absolutely right, sugarettes are not 'ashion & neither is over-accessorising. What a wise 'ashion tip ;)

[Sherry G]

I will be watching her; she has a bright career in broadcasting I think...

My favorite lines: Harper: Bows are always good arent't they?" and J. "I Love Tender cessories."

[Jessica R.]

OH MY! This is the best. She reminds me so much of my daughter. I think I need to video mine more often doing things like this. She put on a show once about all things horses. This is so great. You two are so sweet with them (and it shows!). Such cute kids.

[Jonnelle]

Oh my 'ashion goodness that's cute! I loved hearing you snort while you laughed, I do the SAME thing!!
Love her 'ashion don'ts. Cannot wait to see the shoe segment!

[tara pollard pakosta]

Gotta love the "blow of the kiss" at the end, oh goodness, she is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!
and that video of them singing, it's so cute at the end, when sadie starts getting all wound up! ADORABLE!!!!!!

[Sky]

[Ally White]

[Belinda Chang Langner]

Awww, this is just hilarious! :) They are way too cute!

[Jen]

these make me smile so much! how funny!
and i love Harper's 'ashion reports! tee hee!
i have to tell you when my middle daughter was about three she called a calculator a "cock-a-lator" and a cash register was a "casterator" just thinking about this and typing it makes me laugh so hard!!!
i think it is great that you are just letting them be b/c time does pass quickly!

[Stephanie Baxter]

SUPER CUTE!! "This one's tender!" I LOVED it when she said that!!!!

[Becs Attwood]

Thank-you for brightening my morning down here in NZ with your beautiful 'ashion presenter! Hard to eat my breakfast when I'm laughing so much about the "panties" flower. Glad she cleared up what "sugarettes" are - I was confused for a moment there. I'm off to see if I have a tiara in my house 'cos I think my look needs more accessories!

[Lisa Day]

I laughed so hard at Harpers faces and her comments. She's definitely a keeper!! I can't get over how much alike her and my daugther are. Girls are so much fun!

[Michelle]

OMG She's a gem!! I LOVE Harper's 'ashion videos!!

You're so lucky to have these amazing girls to entertain you each day!!! (Hope that came out right!)

Love love love their singing too! heehee

[Victoria]

OMG this is adorable!!! Love it :)

[Janna]

I seriously howled!! Tears coming to the eyes at the pantie part! LOVE that you snorted when you lauged, made me laugh harder! But was laughing to hard I can't make out what J says. Something about THOSE kind of accesories...:)What was the whole comment? Too too funny! Keep em coming! Thanks for the laugh today, I might have to go watch it again;)

[Stephanie Howell]

HA! something like we arent going to have a show about THOSE kind of cessories. teeheeee

[Heather V]

These videos just made my day. I hope Harper's 'ashion show is a regular feature! I can't wait to hear what she has to say about shoes!

[Kasey]

Oh my! This is just too precious! I love watching Harper's shows & seeing your girls sing! I loved what J said about "we aren't going to have a show about that". lol. Too funny!

[Rachel]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw you had posted a new video, I've watched the last one twice! The panties comment made me cry with laughter. I've had a horrible day and Harper's 'ashion show madxe it a dair bit brighter. Thanks for sharing your beautiful girls with us! You must be so proud!

Rachel x

p.s. I think the main reason I enjoyed it so much is that it reminds me of a video my parents bring out on an annual basis to toally embarass me of me aged about 10 doing a dance routine for my whole family, cringe!!!!

[kate]

oh i love this! I So wish Harper and Layla lived close so they could be friends.

[Beth]

Killing me!! Seriously!! OMGosh sooo funny and adorable and precious!! You and Jimmy better be prepared because that girl is going to be a force of nature in about 10 years! Oh man!LOL

[Stacy D]

Love it!! She's so stinkin' cute Stephanie. Can't wait to hear all about shoes next week!

[michelle]

Steph, you are so lucky. My kids were listening to Bruno Mars on the radio and are convinced it was "Dancing Jews"! SERIOUSLY had to monitor THAT out! They wouldn't believe me until I found the real words on line and printed them out for them, but juice was the lesser evil to sing by that point!

Your little announcer is hysterical, my girls love watching your girls on video. They ask about Sadie and Harper all the time now!

[Tonya Dieterlen]

I hope the producers of "What Not to Wear" are watching this! She's so good at 'ashion advice. Can't wait for "SHOES!"
blessings,
tonyad

[Amy]

Hi there Stephanie, this is the first time I have commented here - I love your blog, but I thought you would like to know that as I watching this 'ashion show masterpiece my four year old daughter was very keen to know who Harper is, what her mummy's name is and where you live. It would seem that Harper has a fan all the way here in Australia and now I am fielding questions as why we can't get together for a playdate! There is major 'hus-band' envy ;-)

[Deb]

so cute, love all her "Hus-bands" and agrred "sugarettes" are definitely not 'ashion.

[Jennifer]

she is so cute!! :)

[Jennifer Sanborn]

1. I'm going out an getting a wand since they go with everything. :)

2. I saw black shift dresses at Kohls and immediatley thought "they aren't really 'ashion".

3. Never knew that was a Bruno Mars song. Heard it on Glee, didn't know where it was from.

4. Does Harper have any tips on scarves? :)

[Lindsay]

They are so very cute! Harper's 'ashion videos are hysterical! Where do you get all of those cute headbands with the bows?

[Terri Metzcus]

I can't say thank you enough for sharing your family with all of us. My niece Stephanie is a lot like Harper in front of the camera. She is going to be 6 on Saturday (19th) and I cannot wait to show her the videos of Harper's 'Ashion Show when I go to visit her. She is going to absolutely love it!!! So looking forward to her next video about shoes. Hope you have a terrific weekend. God Bless you and your beautiful family!!!

[Kris]

That was so entertaining! I guessed that shoes would be next in the fashion parade!

[April C]

OMG I am loving video Thursdays. I laughed so hard at J's tender accessories comment that I woke my son up from nap.

Harper is absolutely adorable, as are all your girls, and J ;) and I can't wait for her next 'ashion show!

[Mandi]

I laughed so hard I cried. Seriously. :D

[Taylor]

I HAD to comment tonight.. I tend to read my blogs when Im laying in bed, well tonight my husband is beside me going to sleep and I asked politely if I could go to watch the video since he was trying to sleep but he could watch to since I have shared many a time your blog and its hilarity. He said he didn't mind if I watched because he was going to sleep, as soon as we hit the 'peonies' part we were both laughing and he had rolled over to watch also. I love reading your blog!

[denise morgan]

Harper....Thanks so much for the great ashion advice. You remind me of my little big girl. Of course she's really old now 20 lol.
and Steph love the videos, I have tons from when Alexa was that age. I loved the miss pronounced words too. My favorite was test-nit can you guess what that means? Tetnis we used to tell her if she did'nt do something she'd have to get a tetnis shot....for the life of me I can't remmeber what it was we used to threaten her with tho. And don't worry about Sadie and the binkie, I won't tell you how long my girl had one till. And her teeth are perfect, never even needed braces. Plus she had the bottle longer too. Used to fall asleep with it in her mouth. And she never even had any cavities until she was 13. Who cares what people say, sometimes it's just easier to let her have it. What's the worst that can happen?

[Ngj9600]

The Howell Home....what a fun place to visit!!!

[andrea]

thanks for sharing - your family is gorgeous - home videos are priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wuv the 'wrong' words - one of my fav things about little kids! have a great day, Stephanie.
andrea x

[Amy K]

Oh my gosh, she is destined for a career in 'ashion. I love that J got in on it too, and sweet Sadie. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful & entertaining family.

[Pam S.]

Thanks for the smiles! What a joy!

[Melissa]

Oh, the mis-pronounced words are so precious! I love it! I'm so glad you have these videos for later in her life! What a TREASURE! What really gets me about this video series is that Steph -- your voice sounds EXACTLY like my son's godmother's voice. It is uncanny! It's like having Katherine talking to me about 'ashion. Crazy! And I snort when I laugh too! I loved hearing the babies in the background! So much fun! I'm visiting my niece this weekend (she'll be 4 in August) .... I'll be sure to bring her a new tiara and wand (for both of us, of course). Thanks for the JOY -- my face hurts from smiling so much!

[mollie bruss]

ahhhh steph. i forgot to tell you. our 5 year old calls his privates his "tenders". apparently he learned it at school!??!so when i first started reading i was DYING laughing. anyway, the word "tender" is forever changed in my mind now. lol. i LOVE these videos.

[krys72599]

OMG, those little girls are just adorable!
Harper has a trememdous 'ashion career ahead of her!!!

[melinda f]

Love the "ashion show"! Just so precious! This is why, after teaching 19 years in grades 2-5, I have come down to Kindergarten and have been here for the past 6 yrs. Everyday is a gift with these kiddos. Everyday is laughter, and if only the parents knew what comes out of the mouths of their babes!Love it, love it! Thanks for sharing!

[virginia]

oh goodness gracious what a ham! love this video.

[Saltspringgal]

Stephanie, I love your blog and have really enjoyed getting to know you and your girls. Love harper's videos! Just had to share that I was looking through the April Scrapbooks Etc. And stopped at a layout because the children looked familiar! Sure enough it was S and H! Cracked me up!

[Lindsey]

Stephanie- I have been following your blog for awhile now and I can see how much you love your girls. They are adorable and hilarious! I really enjoy Harpers ashion videos and the side commentary. She is going to be doing real fashion adivce when she grows up. Congrats on doing a fantasic job with your girls thus far. They are very lucky to have a mommy like you.

[Debbie Miller]

... and I wonder where Harper got her personality?

[Marti Richards]

Finally had a chance to watch those. OMG! So funny! These are such treasures to have! And your snort laugh had me rolling b/c my children make me snort laugh every day!

[Kirsten J]

So priceless!! I never corrected my kids when they said those cute things, either :)

[Abbeyviolet]

So adorable. I am loving the 'ashion advice!

[Christine Campbell]
