tea for two

so poor little frula lula........ brynn has been making her come to all the tea parties...... which is kinda nice for me - because im off the hook....... but frufru has to sit there in that chair and have tea for hours on end....... and now the poor cat is being subjected to dress up too....... really the kitty is soo patient with brynn and her whims........ she just patiently sits there .... and when brynn insists that lula take a drink, that little kitty will put her front paws up on the table and look into the cup - it's pretty darn cute to tell you the truth........ but the funniest part is the look frufru gives me when i walk into the room - her expression just has "you've got to be freakin' kidding me" all over it!!!!

happy st. patrick's day

here's little miss brynn all decked out in her green for st patrick's day...... i just love her in this outfit!!! and then here is the card im sending out for the occasion

another one bites the dust

we've had a passing...... dewey died this afternoon......... this one was particularly hard on us now that are numbers are down so much!!! we really felt close to this little guy.... or i guess i should say gal........ now we are down to just three baby praying mantises.......

it looks like they are all three females....... and with this last molting we noticed they are starting to grow their wings!!!! hope one of these guys makes it to spring!!!!!

we got snow!!!!

over the weekend we got snow just dumped on us down here!!!! we've not seen this much snow since we've moved here!!!!! the kids were just soo excited!!! it must have been about 6 inches - which is crazy for kentucky!!!! all the cul de sac kids met outside and went sledding and made snow angels then went in for a quick break and drank hot chocolate while their gloves and hats and coats ran through the dryer... then it was back out!!!! on the second day of snow they started building an igloo!!!!!!! this is going to be the winter storm that they talk about for years!!!! what a fun time!!!

Brynn's law

lately Brynn has been coming up with her own rules...... they sound kinda like murphy's laws to me....... she'll walk up to me, and say......... "so, if a little person lays down in their bed and closes their eyes, then a big person has to come in and pick them up and hold them......" that was the rule she told me about last night as she was stalling at bedtime........ now the rule this morning was....... "so, if a little person does work for the big person, then the big person has to get the legos out and play with them........"

i think it's a requirement that these rules always begin with SO..... and you must say it with a ton of attitude - like you are informing others that you certainly know more than them.... and you are definately the boss of them!!!! haha!!! what a crazy girl!!! im loving the new laws!!!! (today anyways!!!)

oh - ps - check out these new pants - those ruffles on the bottom are just soo cute!!!
