Drama, Sleepwalking, Hair, Heels, and a Ferocious Monster

Anna decided that she would rather eat Easter candy for lunch then healthy food. Here she is in her drama pose. If I have time, I will upload the video of her "never, ever" wanting to eat healthy food.

Anna has a cold and Ken's parents came down on Saturday, which means, Anna didn't get the nap that she should have, especially being sick. When she is extra tired, she doesn't sleep well at night. So last night, we put her to bed and then about two hours later hear her talking. Ken goes in her room and finds her standing on the floor at the head of her bed. He asked her if she fell out and she said no, then walked to the foot of her bed, where the stool is, climbed up on the stool, and partially back in bed at which point she promptly fell back asleep, half in and half out of bed. It was so funny. So we took a few pictures, laughed the whole time, then tucked her safely in between us for the rest of the night. And, yes, she is wearing a princess dress... she asked me if she could and I couldn't say no.

Keep in mind, she is totally sawing logs here....


And of course, here is Emma-Grace sleeping away less than three feet away from all of our hoopla.

So then, this morning when we were getting ready, I asked Anna how she wanted me to do her hair... Tinkerbell (bun), Cinderella (braids), Aurora (long), Belle (half ponytail), or Jasmine (one pony with multiple rubber bands). She tells me Cinderella, but "like this" and points to Cinderella on the shirt she is wearing. Cinderella's hair looks like this on her shirt:

Hmmm.... OK. This is a new one. But being the superbly awesome mommy that I am, I figured it out with a rubber bands and a lot of clips. Here is my artwork:

Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between Anna and Cinderella all day today.

Ken is working in our crawl space and it is a nice, clean non-spidery crawl space. Anna likes to go in it with him. It is tall enough that she can stand up in it. But the rule is, is that she has to wear shoes. So Ken told her to get her shoes on, and she did... she put on her high-heels...

And finally, to wrap things up. Emma-Grace has turned into a ferocious monster this weekend.

Hi! this is Kelli, Colleen's daughter from work. I found your blog off another blog from gals at your work. Do you mind if I follow along? And post on my "follow this blog" on my blog? Your family is sooooo beautiful!!! And I loved the cinderella doo! I'm still learning all of this. Leila's hair can only go in a tiny pony at the top of her head still......almost.
Take care!
