Milk and Boobs

Elye loves her soy milk. A lot. Reesi was addicted to her paci. Elye is addicted to her milk. Even though our doctor dismisses it, I have been concerned about the amount of estrogen in the soy that Elye has been ingesting for the past year and a half. I was talking about it the other day with Reesi and I said, "Elye's probably going to get boobs when she's six because she drinks so much milk."

Reesi, who rarely drinks milk, immediately gets a concerned look on her face and said, "Does that mean I'm never going to get boobs since I don't drink milk?" Only seven and already concerned about filling out a bra!

Weekend

This past weekend we started out our Friday afternoon with some paper mache. I found this cool paper mache book at McKay's and knew Reesi would love it. It is pretty cool, but time consuming! It takes so many coats of paint to cover up the newspaper! We may do one more project and then we'll be selling the book back to McKay's. We finished up our Friday night with Sir Pizza and the football game.

Saturday we hit the flea market to check up on Meemaw and her pain lotion booth and to get some Feista at my favorite Feista booth. After the flea market we did our grocery shopping at Trader Joe's (don't ever go on a Saturday there with kids, way too crazy!). From there Larry went to the Titan's game, Reesi went to Mimi and Papoo's with Lyla, and Elye went to bed at 7:00 since she skipped her nap. I ended the night finishing The Help while searching for something to watch on TV. Sad, but true I ended up watching a Good Luck, Charlie rerun. I love that show! Sunday we spent to day at the pool at Mimi and Papoo's. I love weekends!

First Day of School

Notice her snaggle tooth that is hanging out. I'm hoping that Mrs. Cline can pull that soon!

Reesi's first day of school finally arrived. Her school tackled some major construction projects over the summer and postponed school a week so that could finish. It was well worth the wait. The school looks awesome and I spied a smart board in Reesi's classroom that I am quite envious of. The playground isn't done yet, but from the looks of it, it is going to be unbelievable. Reesi was glad to get back to school and see all her friends. The summer is now officially over!

Round & Round & Round

Elye has lately developed an obsession for carousel rides. She discovered them at the mall and is constantly begging to go. She spied one outside Big Lots today and got so excited. Of course, one ride isn't enough for her. I always have to convince her to get off by telling her the horses need to rest or eat. Oh, and her horses name is alway Janet.

Memail

"I checka my memail, right now," Elye says.

Smurfed

Last week we celebrated our last day of no school by going to the movies. It didn't turn out quite as anticipated. We had to wait for our dishwasher to get installed before we left so we were running a little behind. It was pouring rain as we rushed inside to make it to see Smurfs. The movie was sold out which meant we had an hour to kill in the arcade. We finally saw the movie, which Elye was surprisingly wonderful throughout. We go outside to leave and our car is dead. Luckily, Jenny was in the area and gave us a jump. So our 2 hour movie turned into a much longer afternoon! We got smurfed.

The Fair

The Williamson County Fair is going on right now and it's always one of our favorite things to do. We got to the fair around 5:00 and headed straight to the kiddie farming area. Reesi still loves doing it and Elye could actually follow directions and participate this year. Then we visited the goats, chickens, horses, cows, rabbits, and pigs. Next, Larry made us head to the hypnotist show, which was just okay. The rest of the night included riding a few rides, eating some fried foods, watching a Animals of America show, and a bmx show. We didn't leave until almost 10:00! Elye was wiped out, but so good in her stroller. Reesi still wasn't ready to leave! It's always a great family tradition.

Sisters

Sometimes Reesi and Elye get along so well. This was one of those times. I put this activity together with Elye and, of course, only got around to doing it with her once. Luckily, Reesi has stepped in and taken it over. She is quite the little teacher and I think Elye might just listen to her better then me, hmmm.
