The tutu

Soleil is funny.  Somewhere deep inside her was planted that stereotypical gene that makes a girl obsessed with clothes and shoes and accessories.  She's only 2 1/2 but she is completely entertained with clothing and shoes and accessories and would probably prefer them to toys. When she gets bored she says, "Mom, can I go change my clothes?"  It's like the first thing that comes to her mind when she thinks of something fun to do.  When I walk past the shoe department or little girls clothing department at the store, I have to move quick because as soon as her eye catches it she's all questions, "Mom, can I get out! Mom can I try those on! Mom pleeeeeze!" And then she cries or throws a fit if I say no.  

Yesterday at Target I stopped at the shoe section and let her try some on.  She was in heaven!     It was like Christmas morning, seriously.  She was so happy and giddy, she was dancing and twirling and singing down the aisle in her shoes, like one of those Disney princess movies that you see and think, "that's SO not real life."  Well it IS with her.  

Yesterday she wanted to wear one of her tutu skirts to church and I wouldn't let her.  When I tell her "no" then she thinks of another way to ask so I'll say yes.  So she asked, "Mom, I can just wear it UNDER my dress."  I told her that was fine AFTER church, but not TO church.  I thought she had complied.  Then during sacrament meeting I took her out to go potty.  As I was helping her in the bathroom I noticed something else was under her dress.  Her tutu.  I could have been upset that she disobeyed, but I just had to laugh.  It was too funny that it was SO important to her to wear the tutu. She just could NOT bear to go a day without it on.  

This morning while I was coaxing her to wear pants because it was so cold outside, she did not forget her loyalty to the tutu. She wanted to wear it OVER them.

Just a little weekend get-a-way...

in P U E R T O R I C O !!! So Rick (along with his other teammates) received a reward trip from work to vacation in Puerto Rico for 4 days! Since I constitute his other half I got to cash in on the reward. So we spent a 4-day weekend get-a-way at a huge resort on the coast of Puerto Rico without the kiddos (thanks mom for flying in to care for them while we were away:). It was fantastic! We stayed at El Conquistador Resort , which was situated on a sloping hill facing the beautiful Caribbean ocean. Our room was right there in the middle (2nd floor) and our balcony opened up to a view of the blue blue sea. That little island you see out there in the distance is Palomino Island . That's where the beach was located and we had to ride the ferry out there to play in the sand and get some sun (unless we wanted to lounge around the pool, but I'm more for the authentic beach feel). Approaching Palomino Island on the ferry. Cute ain't it? We took the El Yunque Rain Forest tou...

I'm Tired

This is the theme of today. (And this picture describes perfectly how I feel.) Not only is Sawyer still waking up ever couple hours in the night, but Chase had the stomach flu last night and was throwing up big time. I know I got up with him at least 3 separate times when he had to puke. I know what you're thinking, where is Rick? Well, he hurt his back a few days ago and hasn't been able to get around very well, let alone bend over a puking child, so he wasn't able to help. I seriously felt like I was going between nursing baby and puking child all night long. And then Rick wakes up at 5:30 to get ready for school just after I got the baby to sleep and wakes him up! Ahhh! I didn't know whether to scream or just start crying. So he takes Sawyer upstairs and puts him in the swing (which always puts him out) and then Chase comes and crawls in bed with me and then Amelie wakes up because she can hear movement in the house and is upset that Chase isn't in his be...

Chase said the funniest thing...

Chase just said the funniest thing, so I had to write it down somewhere. He's watching an old Looney Tunes DVD that we checked out from the library. You know, the classic Bugs Bunny, and Tweety Bird and stuff. Anyway, there's a part on there where this bad guy is trying to kill Bugs Bunny and he keeps saying "shut up". Rick and I picked up on this and looked at each other, not sure whether to turn it off or let it go. So Rick decides to do the following. He says, "Hey Chase, I don't like this movie. They're saying bad things. How about we watch a different one. Like Transformers (the cartoon version)." Chase's response: "Daddy, how about you go work in your car if you don't like this movie so I can stay in here and watch it." Hahahaha! I'm cracking up. Rick and I looked at each other and figured that was a pretty good answer.
