kids are so funny at this age

So after school Juliette had these big scratches on her neck. I could not figure out what it was from - I should have just thought to ask her because when I did she was very excited to tell me that,

"Jude (her little girlfriend) was scratching me like a puppy dog. Then mommy, Ms. Stephanie came over and said, we cannot scratch our friends like puppy dogs..."

Juliette is so hot and sweaty on the playground their imaginations are just in over drive at three. They go on adventure each day with each other and Juliette is sure to tell me that she invites Jake everyday to play with the girls. "It is okay Mommy that he is a boy and I tell everyone that Jake can play with us."

Too too cute!

By the way - the scratch is much better today and hardly noticeable.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Thanksgiving

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We surely did. We had everyone over to our house - both of our families and had a total of 18 people. It was so much fun and we all had a great time. It is such a nice holiday to be so thankful for all that we have.

Who said it was cold outside?

One of Ju's favorite things to do is dress in robes. When I am at work in the morning she loves to dress in her Tessa's robe and now she has found one of mine too. Here we are all bundled up ready to bring on the cool weather.

Sneak peak into ballet class

This past week we got to watch Juliette in her class for ballet. Usually you have to wait in the main room and you can watch her via the TV's in the room. It is so muhc fun to watch all of these little girls have so much fun in the class. Juliette was the youngest and the smallest in the class last year but definitely not this year. She is the perfect age and enjoying every minute of it.

My turn to bring the "Get to know me bag" to school

Juliette had a very big day today at school! It was her turn to bring the "Get to know me bag" to school today. She was very excited to pick out her favorite things that she wanted her friends and her teachers to know about her.

Here were her choices: her pink blankie, her big dog (that is her name), her two favorite books - Pinkalicious and Fancy Nancy, a Barney video, chocolate candy, a bow for her hair, one of her favorite dresses that her Tessa made because "I love to sew with Tessa and make pretty clothes" and a picture of her Mommy and Daddy.

Her friends were so excited when she walked in that it was her day to get to know Juliette. Everyone was giving "big dog" a scratch on her head when she walked in with her.

A visit to the fair today

More fun activities continue into the fall. We went to the fair this afternoon and boy did we have some fun! Tessa was kind enough to ride some of the rides with Juliette becuase being pregnant I was not able to ride any of them. Juliette LOVED all of the rides especially the small roller coaster that she went on. She is going to be a dare devil when it comes to rides I can already tell. The weather was a perfect crisp day and there was a nice crowd there as well. We will go again on Saturday with Daddy to ride the rides all over again.

One of her favorites - "the frog hopper"

Do you see a little girl peeking through the window hole at the top of the pumpkin? Yes, that is Juliette

Tessa and Ju riding the "dizzy dragon"

All energy was consumed - two minutes into the car ride home. Night night

A Halloween Hangover

This morning on our way out the door Juliette told me "Mommy I am too tired to draw today, I am too tired to go to school, and I am too tired to walk." I ran up the stairs before we were walking out the door and came down and this is what I came upon - Juliette layed out on the floor with Big Dog in one hand and pink blankie in the other hand.
