Miserable

Lizzy, after Morgan had a monster meltdown at the supper table: "Wow. It must be miserable being a mom and putting up with that. You're going to have to give me some pointers before I become a mom."

A Special Day

Lizzy: "I really want to wear that bridesmaid dress to church."
Me: "No. It's too fancy. We'll save it for something fancy."
Lizzy: "Well, isn't Jesus special?"

Sparkles

Me: "Lizzy, we have basketball practice on Friday."
Lizzy: "Why?"
Me: "Because we have to talk about defense and get our jerseys before our game on Saturday."
Lizzy: "Oooh... I think we should name our team the 'Sparkles' and I should be number 5 like Lexi!"

A list

Lizzy made a list of everything she wanted Mary to bring when she came over to babysit today:

This is gonna be good...

Lizzy, snapping her fingers and smiling while talking about today's wrestling meet: "This is gonna be good..."

Soree Soo

Lizzy and a couple of friends got in trouble at school yesterday.

I found out about this after she came home sick.

Her teacher emailed me to check on Lizzy, to tell me what had happened, and to share what the other girls did for punishment.

Since one of the punishments was writing notes to the custodian and saying they were sorry, I had Lizzy do the same today.

The custodian is a neighbor, so she took her note down to Sue's house and left it in the door.

She didn't ask for help spelling anything, but I couldn't help but giggle when I saw her finished product:

A little grey

Lizzy, zipping my zipper on my hoodie, but leaving a little of my grey undershirt showing: "There. Now you still see a little of the grey. Well, at least it's not in your hair."
