"I want pink"

I took Abby clothes shopping for school this morning. She was totally into it!! She is so excited for school to start she cant hardly stand it. She was walking around looking at clothes and would pick one up and be like "this is cute, its my size", it was funny. I would pick something out and ask her if she liked and it , she would look at and sometimes say "yes yes, oh I love" and sometimes I would hear "umm, I dont like that". Here is her criteria for loving something or hating it----- is it pink. Everything she picked out was pink or had pink in it! I would show her something without any pink-trying to give her a variety- and she wouldn't give it the time of day!! So she pretty much as an all pink wardrobe for school.
The other day in an attempt to get some cleaning time in during the day I got out a bunch of stickers, crayons and plain white paper and let the kids go at it!! All three of them were at the table for about 2 hours!! They totally had a blast!
Bonus point if you know what Jane Austen movie is on the tv! While we were at the store I decided to get myself some flowers! I love flowers. I wish I could have a really awesome flower garden-that would be so much fun!! But it also cost money so it will just have to wait, so till then I will just have to make do with a bouquet here and there.
And to round things out, here is Dylan "not sleeping". He has decided that he doesnt need a nap anymore so usually between 4 and 5 we go on Dylan-sleeping-watch. His eyes start to close and his head starts to fall so we will tell him to wake up and he usaully get really mad and say "I not sleeping! I just sitting here!"

That is so funny about the pink. Malia has a skirt she wants to wear everyday and I'm like you and would like to have some variety! I can't believe how fast they are growing up and I can't believe Abby will be in Kindergarten
