she:
1.is reading.i'm so proud of her. the teacher in me has wanted to push it, but i haven't.i've just made sure she knows the letters, and their sounds...and i've been patient b/c she is so easily frustrated. the other day it finally clicked that if you put the sounds all together it=reading, and ever since she's been reading lots of words.
♥
2. is ready for kindergarten. she LOVED the orientation the other day and keeps asking if it's time! she is blessed by attending a fabulous preschool with a phenomenal teacher who loves to teach...and this has gotten her ready.
♥
3.is obsessed with tangled. amazon recommended i buy it today and i though "while i love you with all of my heart, mr. amazon, this time you are one step behind me.". harper knew the day it was coming out and we bought it as soon as WalMart opened. she's watched it at least eleventy billion times and is always singing "skip the drama stay with mama...motttthhhhher knows BEST!". hahaha
♥
4.loves the show "coming home" and watches with me regularly. last sunday, a soldier daddy surprised his boys in a treasure chest. so now she keeps asking me if her daddy is going to get in a treasure chest? ha! i haven't told her yet that the clip of j surprising her when she turned 3 is going to be on the show. i can't wait to see her face.
♥
5.is very into drawing and crafting. she's always wanting to make something.
♥
6. turns five in a few weeks. we are planning her birthday party..."may flowers". she has LOTS of input, this one may be a bit over the top since i haven't gotten to plan a party in a year. :)
she:
1. is really, truly very scared of tigers right now. that's why it made me giggle that she wanted this photo. i'm surprised she even got close to that thing! the other night, she saw a hat at the bottom of her bed and freaked out. j went to soothe her and asked what was wrong and she said she thought it was a tiger. ?!!?!? he's now told her tigers are only in afghanistan, which should make it interesting when he has to deploy. eek.
♥
2.is obsessed with the care bears for some odd reason. she is NOT into movies at all, she won't sit through one, but she sure does love the care bears. especially "twue hawat".
♥
3.LOVES her sweet little one day a week half day preschool she attends. LOVES it. she's out the door before i can even get her ready. because of that, she will be in m-f half day preschool in the fall. i would have not thought harper was ready for this at three, but sadie? was born ready.
♥
4.is a super picky eater. harper, mama+daddy eat almost anything, and lots of it. not sadie. she licks the bread, eats the cheese, and maybe nibbles at an apple. picky pickerson. but dessert? now she LOVES that. she has such a sweet tooth.
♥
5.makes me play "marry you" by bruno mars and "the cave" by mumford&sons about 9238402348 times a day. and dances her face off every time.

♥
5.is going to look for someone to help her clean. she has the rest of it down, in a great routine...but she needs help with the house. she doesn't want her children to remember her as always cleaning. she wants them to remember more important things.

♥
4.is obsessed, i mean OBSESSED with getting an iPad. even more so once he figured out how awesome angry birds would be on it. and i'm still a bit bitter that he stole my iPhone and finished all the angry birds levels. WHO DOES THAT?
♥
5. has an injured knee. he hobbles around like an old man. i feel so bad for him. a lifetime of football+the infantry has been so hard on his body.
♥
