ELYSE-ISM'S

I'm just going to rename this blog for Elyse. It's not that the other two aren't so cute it's just that 3 year olds are more interesting to write about. Let me just tell you what I mean:
This last week:
Caia had friends over they started their own blog, she had different friends over and they played and cleaned the basement. (That was a condition of them coming over who knew they would agree and then do it!)

Payton; Let's see currently she is crying because she is hungry, she doesn't want yogurt, gogurt, string cheese or a banana, but she's hungry. She's even more mad because she has to put away her rack of the dishwasher. Last week she cried, like every morning that her pants don't "feel right" This is a battle we have every morning and worse after she has worn them. Funny things is that she likes her pants tight but only tight like one of her 4 pairs. She's going to love me when she gets to help Caia with trash, and do homework. OOHH I can't wait.

Elyse; You can check out last weeks blog comments for this weeks conversation with Sis Bwinkley. Her current obsession is True Love. I remember Caia going through this phase it's a favorite of mine. So our daily conversations have gone like this.

E- "what is true love?"
D- "I don't know ask your mom."

E- "Mom what is true love?"
M- "It's who you love the most"
E- "OOOHHHH!"

E-"Dad why did you marry mom?"
D- "I stole her heart"

E-"Mom did dad put you in a cage?"
M- "WHAT!?!"
E- "Did dad put your heart in a cage?"
M- "OOHH (smiling) no cage sweet heart it just means Dad loves me."
E-"OOOOHHHH!!"

E- "Did dad kiss you when you got married?"
M- "Yes"
E- "oohhh!"

E -"Mom how did dad steel your heart?"
M- "He played Pachelbel's Cannon on his violin."
E- "OOOHHHH!"

E- "Dad How did mom steel your heart."
D- "Because she's a hot momma"
E- "OOOHHH! Mom your a hot momma?!?"
M- Just hearing hot momma from her mouth made me laugh!

Payton is stilling wailing from starvation and not wanting to put dishes away, Caia is avoiding homework, and Elyse is pointing out how naughty Payton is being, and yes that is so helping the situation.

Me I'm being a good mom ignoring it all writing it down. They'll appreciate this someday! I'm off to deliver the fun news; time for homework and garbage's. But I Love my Life!

Here is an E-mail I received from Elyse's primary teacher this morning.
To Holly
From Sis Brinkley
Re: Elyse
the girl never ceases to entertain. yesterday, she sat by me in primary. she kept petting my arm, like a cat or something. frankly, it was getting a little annoying, and after repeated reminders to "please keep your hands in your lap", i finally just said, "elise, i don't like it when you pet my arm like that. will you please stop?" and she said, "but sista bwinkwey, your skin is so soft! do you use lotion??"

i recommended the bath and body works body cream to her, as it contains avocado oil and does wonders for the skin. just so you know.

also, she kept telling me the "mean man stuck her in a hole" and i was dying to hear the story behind that. and she showed me her new Ariel locker (not locket, locker, mind you) and when i asked her if she could maybe keep a cupcake in there and bring it to me next week, she said yes. so I'll be expecting one. thanks.

By way of explanation:
At home she spends all day singing the Ariel song into it. Caia got tired of hearing it and tried to convince her that the locket was full!

The "mean man" was a bad dream she had the other day. I asked her today if Sis Brinkley has soft skin, she said "yes but the mean man has pokey skin!" I had better add a couple extra bucks this month to her psych fund for when she grows up!

Slide Show.

Ok here it is. Above is the abbreviated slide show. (Yes only 50 out of 200+ pictures.) If you are looking for all the details click on the link below w/ Elyse sleeping. Then choose slide show, about 1/3 way down. If you want to read along pause it, use the arrows to the R or L of pictures to view. If you want to read all the text place your curser over the text for the full account on some of the photos. This may be more than some of you want! But Grandma's may enjoy it. Thank you to the blogg expert Wendy for you help this morning. I have been completly obsessed w/ this and now I can get on w/ my morning!

Don't forget to check out the new video's too. My favorites are the princess dance, and Elyse dancing after the Pixar Play Parade, and the girls chatting in the hotel room the first night. Elyse danceing @ Playhouse Disney Live is cute too, other wise I wouldn't have filmed it.
