catch up

(or this post could also be titled "the many faces of frankie" because my pics are frankie heavy. not sure why that sometimes happens, but mental note to myself: take more pics of lexi!)

 

frankie is such a little reader!

this brochure doesn't even have pictures.

but she intently studied it for about 10 minutes.

whilst munching her goldfish.

very sophisticated, that one.

she's also recently discovered the little booklet inserts in the disney movies.

loves 'em!

also, it looks like we might have a rhythmic gymnast on our hands!

so exciting!

on our friday without school last week, we hit the mall in search of a homecoming dress and shoes. lexi brought alyssa and marissa along and they had fun dolling frankie up.

fashionista.

we can't hit up the mall without also hitting up the carousel.

check out that good big brother, running around the carousel with laney so she could ride.

$.75 of pure happiness.

so sweet.

on the way home that day frankie fell asleep holding laney's hand.

i asked christian to get a picture of it, but he kind of missed the hand part.

 but hey, look! there's lexi in the back!
see, she did come!

this was from the day that matt and christian went to the boat races.

they spotted a rolls and had to get a pic.

silly boys.

 

sarah kept my girls on monday. i came home and picked up, but other than that i didn't clean anything. i spent my whole day on the phone and doing that gross clerical house keeping stuff, the stuff that i can't do at night cause i actually have to talk to people. i was pretty happy that i got almost everything crossed off my list. and now, 3 days later, i have another list just as long. neverendingneverendingneverending...

(and laney took a bite out of my list. she likes paper)

little lady with some friends.

frankie likes lip gloss. a lot. she put on a ton and said "i beautiful, mom?"

(sad side note: she almost never calls me mommy or mama anymore. big girl always says mom. :()

and then she always tackles me trying to see her picture.

addie is very into the crafts/homework/always busy stuff lately.

i've tried several times to get her to copy words but she's never been interested, but the other day she asked me to write my name down, and then she brought me this.

genius!

and frankie comes into my room every morning a little after 7. she requests juice and cuddle time. i always oblige the cuddles, and on this lucky day she got some juice too.

silly girl.

everything else is just more of the same. baseball, football, cheer, gymnastics, church, church, church, matt's school, kids school, repeat.
