Today Andlie wanted her hair like a ninja. As everyone knows, a ninja hairdo is a ponytail in the back with a braid. I told her that her hair might not be long enough. She said, "Mom. Just do like 3 braid loops. Or as many as you can." Turns out we can squeeze 7 "braid loops" in just fine.
I don't know if it was because she was dressed like a brave ninja or what, but the next thing I knew, she was wandering around the neighborhood carrying the neighbor's pet snake around. I sure love Andlie. She's smart, independent, tender, kind, soft, brave, fierce, happy, beautiful, and practically perfect in every way. She's delicate & dainty, but she is also powerful and strong. And I love that.
She finished her 2015 Reflections project last night. We took the required pictures today so we could turn it in on Monday. I forgot to take a picture of the entry form, but her artwork is titled, "Peaceful Rainbow." This year's theme is "Let Your Imagination Fly!" Andlie's artistic statement was: If everything was black and white, it would be boring. I am glad that there is color in the world! I imagine in color!"
While Nora was napping & Daddy & Hazey were "having a boy party," me & Andlie went to the party store to pick up some stuff for our Halloween costumes. Andlie found this dress & said, "Ooo la la! Take a picture of me!"
When we came home, I suggested that Haze draw some big ol' zombies on the art paper so he did. And then he made a matching "spooky zombie face" for the picture. Nora kept walking up to his artwork, pointing at it, and saying, "Sombie! How-ween sombie! Cuuuuuute." Our kids are the best.
