“In my experience, boys are predictable. As soon as they think of something, they do it. Girls are smarter—they plan ahead. They think about not getting caught.”

She colored her hair hot pink with a sharpie.  It "fell on her paper" when she was coloring.  

Teach Avrie what 'condescending' means and you're guaranteed great conversation. 

Conferences this week and we cannot wait.

Accuses people of not "getting the whole picture."  Eavesdropper extraordinaire!   

If you pretend you're a 6-year-old girl with brothers you shouldn't have a problem translating this.  I believe it's supposed to be dated 10-31.

Has started writing her own Rapunzel novel.  Darned cute.

I will not be a crazy cat lady who blogs about her cat.  I'll just tuck it in here.  Breaks a glass on the counter at 2 am.  Digs in the sock drawers and carries them around the house.  Eats my bras.  Steals hairbands and hides piles of them under the rugs.  Sits around looking gorgeous.

This makes my heart swell.  Her wants list is so short!  Is it too much to ask that she be Rapunzel?!

"ou peer" = appear.  I love the age when they sound out their words.  about = abewuit.

Ohh, I have missed so much! Somewhere in the middle of all this crazyness I realized that I'd been missing Shannon's blog!! I love your writing, I love your pictures, I love reading about your kids. (and your cat is just beautiful--and sounds like a bit crazy herself!)
