About "Cousin Felicia"

Picture taken June 5, 2010, after graduation.
She threw herself on the floor because she didn't
want anymore pictures taken.
So, while Felicia was visited I asked her (after being prompted to do so) the same questions that I asked The Gs (and Noah) this summer. She didn't answer all of the questions, so some* are made up...

5) What's your favorite car?
"I don't like cars"
6)What's your favorite cake?
"Chocolate"
7) Would you rather touch hair or feet?
"Hair! Feet are disgusting!" I totally agree, Felicia!!
8) Would you rather lose an arm or foot?
"Arm"
9) Would you rather be blind or deaf?
"I'm going to stick with deaf"
10) Have you ever eaten a crayon?
"Probably"
What's your favorite color to eat?
"Black and brown taste like the poop; all the others."
11) What do you want to know about the future?

" 'Tard"
15) What do you fear?
"Snakes"
16) What makes you bored?
"Listening to my mom talk, it also makes me angry" (That's not very nice)
16) What was your favorite toy as a child?
"I don't know"
17) What's your favorite board game?
"Monopoly"
18) What's your favorite card game?
"Texas hold 'em"
19) When do you become an adult?
"When you go to college"
20) Do you prefer to be late, early, or on time?
"Early"
21) What side of the bed do you sleep on?
"The Middle"
22) What is your favorite pair of shoes?
"Any in my closet"

We are so glad we got to spend time with Felicia (and her parents) this summer. I wish we could see all of them so much more.
We like to give Felicia a hard time (because she makes it so easy :-P) but truth is, we all think she is pretty amazing and feel extremely lucky to get know her. I know she will be extremely successful in whatever she does in life.

Playing with hair

I have been playing with the girls' hair a lot lately (I go through spurts on playing with it). They have really seemed to enjoy me doing so, and asking for me to do their hair. Here is a couple hair-dos that we have had in the past week or so. They pictures aren't the best, they were taken on phones, and not with good lighting.

First is G2, it was much cuter (anyone that saw her at church can attest to that!) than it appears. This picture was taken in the evening after she had had a full day. I started at the bottom and went up (you can see how I did that) and ended with two ponytails, not pulled all the way through.

Here is G3. I didn't get a good picture of the back of her head (actually I might have with the camera, but I am not motivated enough to search right now). What I did was spiral her hair around her head and ended with a ponytail, not pulled all the way through.

G4 did not want to sit still for a picture at all. She wanted to see herself on the phone, while I was taking the picture. Funny girl!! Here I started at the top and the bottom (doing the same as what I did with G2's) and brought them together in the middle. Sorry the bottom picture didn't get turned, I forgot.


It is so much fun to play with their hair, now that they all have more. The older 2 girls still don't have a whole lot on top so I have to get creative on how to make that look okay.

Now to go blog stalking to get ideas on cute hair-dos, and then figure how to make them work for my girls...

Kindergarten

The Boy started Kindergarten on Monday. He has been looking forward to Kindergarten all summer. He was so excited when Monday finally came.

The girls and I drove him to school and then we walked to pick him up. He told me that the school day was not long enough. It was only 2.5 hours that first day.

Everyday from the second day to the end of the month they have a 55-minute early dismissal. G1 told me after school Tuesday that it was his favorite day.

G1 sits at a table with only one other little kid. A little boy named James. James also moved here from Burlington. James' parents were in the same prenatal class that Matt and I were in when we were expecting G1. James was born a couple days after G1 and was born just a couple rooms down the hall.
About a month and a half after the boys were born we had a prenatal class reunion and so I have pictures of the two boys (as well as two other kids) together at about 6 or so weeks old.
I think it is crazy how things like that work out.
