A Quick Funny.....or Two!

I had to share a couple of funny things that Brooke said yesterday.

When I was heading downstairs yesterday morning, I asked Brooke if she wanted to come with me. (She was watching TV at the kitchen counter after breakfast). She replied "No mommy....Dora lost her necklace and I have to help her find it!"

Brooke LOVES Dora the Explorer! But, what was funny to me is how serious she was yesterday when she told me she was going to help her find her necklace. It was a SERIOUS problem and they needed Brookie's help!

CUTE!

The other thing that Brooke does that is so funny is covering all of her "owies" with bandaids! I know...most kids go through the phase of having to have a bandaid on every owie they have regardless if it is a real one or not! I think it is cute! Sometimes it does get frustrating...but usually it's only when we need a bandaid for a REAL owie and we don't have one because they have all been used up on our fake owies! But....that rarely happens because I have learned after three kiddos that you HAVE to keep several boxes of bandaids on hand!

Yesterday, Brooke wanted to show me all of her "owies"!

She even had ones on her eyes!
She's SO FUNNY!

Wishing it was Flip Flop Weather!


I ran across these pictures today and it made me long for flip flop wearing weather!!!!\

Grandma Johnson treated the girls (or at least Mad and Ash) to a manicure and pedicure last summer! The LOVED it!

I LOVE it too!
I can't wait until it's time to get them again because it is time to wear flip flops!!!
I don't usually spend the money on mani's and pedi's during the winter months because I'm not wearing shoes that show off my toes!
But I LOVE to get them in the spring and summer when the weather is perfect for shoes that show off my pretty (and expensive) toesies!
Spring is SOOOO close!
The cold weather has calmed down
...but now we have rain!

I AM THANKFUL FOR THE RAIN!
But...
It does make it hard to take the dog on a walk...
and let the kids outside to play...
and start prunning my flower garden (that is currently all dead)!
But...
I'm still thankful for the rain...
and for the birds singing in the morning...
and for Spring closing in on us...
and for the chance to get manicures and pedicures...
and for the opportunity to wear those flip flops that I'm so longing to wear!
