Achiever

Molly had award day at school.  She cleaned up, getting a math, reading, and the highly coveted principal's award for being an all around special kid.  Proud of our little achiever!

Maggie came and cheered for her sis. Maggie is kind of obsessed with Molly's class. All of the kids and even the parents are celebrities to her. We'll be walking in to pick up Molly and she be whispering to me "that's _____'s mom!" "Molly said (s)he...(insert crazy kid story here)".

Walking to dinner the other night, Molly was pointing out the stained glass at church.

We went to J.I.'s Star Wars birthday party last week so we were inspired to dust off the DVDs and see if Molly would like them.  She loves them. She even likes episodes 4-6 better-just like you're supposed to. She did watch 1-3 too just to round out the story-but she loves Leia.  I wish I had a video of when she found out that Vader is Luke's father as well as when she found out Leia and Luke we're siblings. It was hilariously perfect.

After watching her first movie she had to go a draw a picture of Leia. 

Papa had some painting to do, so he enlisted his little helpers. They were a catastrophe afterwards.

We went to Bryn's birthday this past weekend. The girls had a blast running around acting crazy. Molly got to see her future roommate Grayson.  She told me the other day that she wishes she could just move into a house with Grayson so they could do whatever they want without anyone telling them what to do.  It's just like that Beach Boys song except instead of holding "each other close the whole night through" She's envisioning eating junk food and not having to pick up after herself or brush her teeth or go to bed. 

baby frito bandito?

...or maybe, The most interesting baby in the world.

She can be such a stubborn little punk, but she cracks us up daily with her antics. 

Here's a sampling of conversations you might have with her: 

Me to Maggie: "Pluto is not a planet"

Maggie: "Oh-yeah. Pluto is a dog on Mickey Mouse"

Or how she can't play Monopoly nicely. She freaks out when she has to pay for anything. "I WANT MY MONEY BACK!"

It gets kind of scary.

Catching some rays. It's basically summer already here.
