guinea pigs, best friends, fun, and more





Alyssa
Alyssa was ecstatic when she was able to take her class pet home for the weekend. Let's just say that Max the guinea pig was a very messy house guest. It made me kind of happy when we were able to take him back to school. She did love taking care of him though, we even went to see the movie G-force in Max's behalf.

Alyssa is enjoying the second grade and seems to be making lots of new friends. Her newest friend of maybe I should say foe is a boy named Simon who chases Alyssa and her friend around at recess. Tonight we are having a sleepover in honor of Simon because he doesn't chase her around the playground as much. The sleepover was all Alyssa's idea trust me.

Alyssa has become a teenager overnight, she is on the phone constantly. It always seems to be right about the time that I need to use the phone too. I don't know what I will do when all four girls are yakking on the phone all day.

Kelsie
Kelsie's new highlight besides starting preschool is that she also started dance. She and Alyssa are both taking ballet, and so far it seems to be going well. We have never done dance lessons before so this is a first.

Kelsie has an obsession with hair already. She loves doing her own hair as well as creating hair-do's for Leah and Audrey. I am amazed how well she does. Kelsie is all about fashion and changes her outfits and hair constantly all day long. She even gets Alyssa's clothes for her.

Kelsie has the biggest heart and is so concerned with her sisters well being. She adores her big sister and loves being a big sister to Leah and Audrey. I can't believe how fast time flies. It doesn't seem that long ago that we brought this little black-haired bundle home from the hospital. To think that she is almost five years old is crazy.

Kelsie's best friend Maya returned home from her long 3 1/2 week vacation and boy were those the longest 3 1/2 weeks of both mine and Kelsie's lives. We are so glad that Maya is back.

We have a crazy life but it's a good life, and I wouldn't change it for the world!

Sounds like it's going to be a good year for the girls. They're gorgeous too. Has Kevin been gun shopping for when they become teens and he has to chase all the boys away ;)

I can't believe she is on the phone all the time. I am not looking forward to that. Happy Birthday Kevin!
