i made caleb's teacher a valentine card.
no i was not jazzed that he wrote on the front of the card! hello! 🙂 oh well. here's the inside:
lol lol "i hope the school year can continue like this" lol- he's sooo funny!
elsie and i volunteered at his valentine party today. i love how all the girls in his class are such mother hens- running up to E and loving on her. she loves it too 🙂 outside the school: 
and her funnies from the last couple of months—-
me: elsie i am going to get your dinner ready.
elsie: is it going to be disgusting?
me: elsie, time for a nap.
elsie: princesses don't do that.
after me spewing out numerous directions to my numerous children, elsie: mom, stop whining.
and ever so dramatically- out of nowhere she will say in her princess voice, i never dreamed!
on our way to have a picnic yesterday, i realized it was too cold outside (55degrees), so we sat in the car with our lunch. elsie pleads with me to go outside. i open the door and let her out. (she's like my little puppy- lol) and she's running on the grass (right outside my car door, as i sit in the seat and watch her from the warm car) barefoot- come and join me, it will be fun! (i do not, i stay inside) then 2 minutes later, it sure is cold, im coming back in!
while chris is giving her a huge dose of squeezes and kisses and she cannot get away, she says- my brothers will destroy you. (that is said in a star wars voice- not to be taken seriously people)
she's pretty funny. to us at least 🙂

he he, i have a daugter the same age as elsie, and i can sooo imagine her saying some of those. ashlinn’s taken to saying “oh my gosh!” at the moment – and i have no idea where she got it from!
i love the idea of a patterned-on-the-inside card! (i’ve totally stolen that… thanks!)

I love your funny quotes from Elsie — I think a family that values humor and laughing with each other is stronger than one who doesn’t. It keeps you going in the tougher times.
I personally had to laugh at your parenthetical comment that 55 degrees was too cold! That’s the difference, in a nutshell, between Ohio winter and SoCal winter. Whereas it was too cold for you (and eventually Elsie), we had 55 the other day and I had to convince my daughters that, while it was okay to wear capri pants, they could NOT break out the flip flops or tank tops just yet! And YES, a coat (even a light one) must still travel with you to school and to play! And to come in after dark, when it had fallen quickly into the 40s!

“me: elsie, time for a nap.
elsie: princesses don’t do that. ”
that comment from Elsie made me think of a book that my little girl loves (also the same age as Elsie) its called “do princesses wear hiking boots” and “princesses go to sleep after they’ve counted 500 sheep” don’t rememeber the author though
