It's hard to be Four!!!




We got home after a long day yesterday and Kassie insisted on doing her "homework." I was in the kitchen making dinner, and I came out and saw her fast asleep, pencil and book still in hand! She takes her education very seriously!!! lol This scene is extremely unusual...she has NEVER fallen asleep on the couch...she is a little livewire and has a hard time going to sleep every night, so I thought it was pretty cute!

(Little sidenote: Please don't blame me for the mismatched pajamas...I'm letting my daughter exercise her four year old independance! She insists on wearing pajamas that don't match...she says it's the style...it's pretty much the only time she gets away with dressing herself! =))

Commercialism at its best!




Last night, our family went shopping at Wal-Mart. Kassie and I were standing right in front of the baby shampoo, which I needed to buy, and Kassie immediately reached for the yellow Johnson & Johnson bottle. She said, "Mom, this is the one we need to buy." I asked her why, and she said, "Mom, because it doesn't even leave a tear!" I looked at her at started laughing so hard, along with several other shoppers who were on the same aisle and overheard her. I asked her where she heard that, and she told me it was on a commercial! WoW! These advertising companies are definately doing their job!

Halloween (Cont.)

Ok...so I couldn't figure out how to add comments to those Halloween pics! I'm still a little slow at this whole blogging thing! lol The pictures were from our ward Halloween party. It was so much fun...and I'm glad it's over. For the last two years, I've been in charge of planning the ward trunk-or-treat, but this year, I was told that it was going to be a dance too. My husband has a big dj system, so I volunteered him to be our dj. I didn't include a pic of him because he was a party pooper and didn't want to dress up! (Not to mention that it's hard to find a costume big enough to fit him! lol) My little Pocahontas had so much fun, while the little angel slept through most of it. Not quite sure how she did that since the music was so loud! Our ward knows how to put on a party though! Kassie's plastic grocery bag broke because she had too much candy in it! Still trying to figure out what to do with all of it...I need to get it out of the house so I don't eat it! =) So if anyone is accepting candy donations, just let me know.

Kassie also had a little Halloween party at her preschool, where I was able to help out. Friday night, my entire family went trick or treating for about an hour and a half. Kassie was a little die hard. It was completely raining on her, but it didn't phase her. She was always the first to the door, even though she had older cousins that were definately faster than her. I guess she was dead set on getting the candy first! Gotta give her some credit though...she has a lot of heart! =) It was a fun time, but Kassie is already asking when Christmas is!

HALLOWEEN PICS!!!
