THE GARDNER'S: GETTING READY FOR CALIFORNIA

GETTING READY FOR CALIFORNIA

I was busy, busy, busy, getting ready for our month long trip to California. I pulled out the sewing machine, and made two new skirts for each of the girls, and a new dress for Addie, and Paisley! It's been a lot of fun getting these projects finished!

Fun summer skirts!

Fourth of July skirts!

This is not a very good pic of Paisleys dress. It turned out so cute!

Addison helped me make her dress! She helped me with the elastic thread on the top. She did a great job!

I thought I better clean out, and wash Paisleys car seat before we made her sit in it for 11 hours. I about threw up!! It was so full of old moldy food. I'm embarrassed to even tell anyone. ( Note to self: Clean out car seat at least once a month!!)

Lets just say we couldn't fit another thing in our truck! We were so packed to the brim! A girl has got to have her stuff, and we have three of them!

We stopped in St. George for the night, and finished the rest of the drive to Cali the next day, so the trip wasn't too bad!

I was getting dressed in front of Addie and she asked me.

"Mom your tummy is big, do you have a baby in it?" ( nope just lots of Holiday goodies)

It was Addies turn for prayer, and this is what she asked for!

"Bless us that we can work out, so we wont get fat!" (this was after playing the wii fit)

Addison asked me in the car today. "Is there more than 1 world?" Hum!! a little deep for a 5yr old.

I think I'm starting to get my feelings hurt! Addison was looking through the new Pottery Barn magazines today, and she called me over, and said.

"Mom this is the bedding I want when I move in with Aunt Becky." She truly thinks she is moving in with her Aunt. I even said to her "Wont you miss mommy." and she replied, "I will come, and visit you."

I'm glad she loves her Aunt!

I love that Paisley is starting to understand what we say to her.

I asked Paisley if she was ready for a nap today, and she said clear as day. "No!"

Paisley will point to the family picture, and name everyone in it!

I went into Paisleys room to get her from her nap, and Lacy our dog followed me into her room excited to see her. Paisley looked down at Lacy and said "Hi doggy!" So cute!

We were just finishing FHE. and I got mad at Addison for being naughty so she was mad at me, and crying. Paisley went up to her, and gave her a big hug, and kiss. Then she looked up at Addie and said.

"Addie, Ba Ba?"

Asking Addison if she needed a Bottle to feel better! Lets just say we all started laughing, that Paisley thought Addie needed a bottle!

Paisley is finally potty trained and not drinking sippy cups any more. Paisley has had more accidents with poop then any of my other kids. I'm glad to be done with it!

Today I locked the bathroom door so that I could have some peace from Paisley, for one minute. Next thing I know Paisley opens the door, and gives me the biggest smile. That little stinker used scissors to open the door. To top it off I said "Oh crap" and she repeated "Oh Crap" right back to me. This little girl is going to do me in!!!
