Eloise-Every Family Needs Some Blonde Ambition.......






Kristin. Our colorful child. (AKA Eloise...after the children's book). Well, Miss Eloise had her ballet recital tonight and may we say....she far exceeded ANY and ALL expectations we had. At rehearsal we weren't sure this blond-i-mania was going to go through with it...but she did and did RAWTHER WELL!! You go girl!!

What makes her so colorful?! Well, she goes through enough emotions in a 24 hour period as there are colors in the spectrum. Mostly she keeps us laughing with her beautimous green-grey eyes....and there's the head-scratching 'temper-fits' that leave her mommy and daddy exhausted. She can turn those emotions on a dime. :)

Here's a couple of recent stories....you will see a car (Cade's) rubberbanded to her shoe. She thought this up completely by herself while riding in her car seat. We were at McDonalds attempting to go across the parking lot full of moving cars....and of course she tries to 'skate' on her new invention across the street. It didn't work....but we admire this girl's entrepreneurial (did I spell that right??) spirit!

Next you will see a tube of cream. It is a perscription strength anti-fungal cream we use for very, very bad diaper rashes and skin issues. It's leftover from our trip to China...and was put very (did I say very) carefully away. Well Miss Eloise came down the other night with the tube in her hand (how she got it down remains a mystery) and said, "MOMMY! This toothpaste doesnt' taste too good!" .....Yea. The child had brushed her teeth with it!! Once I found out it wouldn't hurt her....I laughed for hours. Yea. That's Eloise.

And the final last pic is a rare, peaceful moment indeed....of Eloise being the sweetest sister ever to Katie. Katie cannot stand to be told what to do by another sister...and won't take it...and Kristin likes nothing better than telling her sisters what to do. Got the visual?? This pic will be blown up and framed on their wall. :) Have a great weekend everyone from our house of God's colorful and wonderful little princesses!
