Jessica Dangerfield

Last night Jess was supposed to be getting ready for bed. We were both tired. Her pj's were inside out. She knows how to turn them right side out. I explained that I'm not going to do things for her that I know she can do herself. She gave me the stink-eye and told me "You're not respecting me!" She told me that if I respected her I would just do what she wanted. It was hard not to laugh. All I could think of in my tired stupor was Rodney Dangerfield's head on Jess. I held my ground. With a very ornery look on her face she turned them the right side out and got inside of them, and got inside her bed. R-E-S-P-E-C-T sock it to 'em! I think I know the topic for the coming week's FHE lesson!

Happy Birthday from Pollyanna

Happy Schmappy Birthday to me!

So, I know this is late, not that anyone is surprised...but I wanted to say thanks to the girls for the fun birthday lunch. ( I wrote proper Thank You notes and delivered about half of them so far..duh.) And then to make it even sweeter, Pollyanna (who has entirely admirable talents) made me a fantastic fondant mad hatter birthday cake! She made the fondant out of marshmallow so it tasted as wonderful as it looked! I took pictures of the art.

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten

Jess and Wes on the first day of Kindergarten
Jess woke up on this particular morning in rare form. She usually doesn't care what she's wearing; her birthday suit is just as good as anything else. On this day inparticular, she informed me that she didn't want any bows or bands and that she had her clothes picked out. Was that Kindergarten or 8th grade?
