I told Kourtney that we were doing one fun thing each day of her birthday weekend. She said, “Well since it is my birthday I get to decide what we do.” I named off the things I had planned and she approved all of them. J

Talking to Kayla about Christmas. How everything about Christmas should be about Jesus. When I asked her why, she said “Becase its Jesus’s birthday!” I mentioned that maybe we could wear party hats on Christmas. Kayla shouted “And angel cake! With strawberries and whip cream!”

My kids are so CUTE! Earlier today Kayla fell on the sidewalk and scratched her hands and knees up. While I was sitting, holding and trying to comfort Kayla, Trouble came up and stood right next to us, pressing into our legs. Kayla saw this and said “Aw Trouble Bubble” (one of the many nick names given to him by the girls) and then started to poke him. I took me a bit to figure out that she was poking him because she called him a bubble. Silly girl. Glad we have such a friendly dog that can so easily cheer us up!

Grandma Sue was helping the girls get ready for bed. She saw Kayla put her boots next to her bed, then asked her "is that where your shoes go?" Kayla looked at grandma sue and said I'll leave them there. Mom will only get a LITTLE bit mad (holding her thumb and index finger close to each other).

Kourtney has been sleep talking a lot lately. I can't always figure out what she's saying but its not uncommon for her to yell out Kayla's name and some other stuff that I can't figure out. But she talks loud enough that I think she's talking to Kayla then I go in there to find them both alseep.

This morning I woke up to the girls singing “I will go, I will do the things the Lord commands!” Then Kourtney explained to me that Heavenly Father wants us to obey our Mom, our Dad, our kids… J

Kourtney is laying down in the hall, blowing up a balloon and letting the air out noisily, over and over again and laughing hysterically. :) She's also burping really loud because she's been swallowing air in the process.

Kourtney is SO happy this morning. She did yoga on her own, opened all the
blinds to let the sun in, has been dancing around the house and saying
"the sun is sparkling right above us!" in a sing song voice and
asking if she can go ride her scooter outside. It's 9:30 and she's SO happy. I
love it! Oh and Kayla is still asleep!

Kayla told me about red beetles this morning.
Kayla: Mom, I heard about red beetles. They're very dangerous but only for moms. So don't go outside at nighttime because that's when they are out. But... They only eat moms with yellow hair so you're safe.
Me: but what about aunt Kelli?
Kayla: will you call her? She can't go outside at night because the red beetles might get her.

Like daddy like daughter. I just found Kourtney going through form one while laying in her bed with her hello kitty eye mask on. Kias and everything.

I was cuddling with Kayla to tuck her in. Asked her if she had fun with grandma sue and uncle Dan when they came over today (aunt Maria and Savannah were out of town). She said yes. I said "yeah my mom and brother are pretty great." She said "brother?" I said "yeah uncle Dan is my brother. My big brother. And I'm his baby sister." Kayla burst out laughing. Thought it was really funny that I'm a baby sister ;)

According to Kourtney boy farts are smelly and girl farts are not. But sometimes a girl has a boy fart.

Cuddling with Kourtney as I tucked her in tonight. She was telling me more about bowling with daddy yesterday. Said he entered his name last and it said "old dad". Then she said "but he's not very old. He doesn't have any crinkles!" ;)

Last week my friend Becky had picked Kourtney up from school (which Kourtney loves because she has a DVD player in her car) and brought her home. Kourtney got out of the car and started towards the house then stopped, turned around, and went back and asked Becky, "are you like the library? Can I borrow movies from you?" Then asked to borrow a movie from her.

Kourtney was telling me what she wants for her bday in September (5 months away) and asked for an iPod and bday money. Then she said, "You know what I want BEFORE my birthday? A big hug and a kiss from my mommy!" Then she gave me a good tight hug and big kiss. Love that girl!

Kourtney got an orange day today. She's so cute though. Becky dropped her off, she came in, sat down in the kitchen and was really quiet. When I asked how her day was she said "well I have to talk to you. Alone." (We were already alone in the kitchen). So I followed her to the living room where she patted the chair and said "and I need you to hold me." "Okay..." So I sat down, and she laid across me and said, "today I.....got an orange day." "Oh? Want to tell me about it?" "We'll..." Then she went off about a lot of things that happened that day. To sum it all up it sounds like she was just very chatty today. I'll email her teacher and double check. But I LOVE how honest she was and that she found a comfortable place to tell me and did it right away. She didn't wait for me to see her chart. Gee wiz we could learn a thing or two from kids, eh? Love that girl!

Kourtney is practicing to give a speech at my family bday party today. This is what she's saying: "I'm proud to present my two best friends. One favorite animal is a rhino and the other is an elephant. One favorite color is purple and the other is yellow. They are Kayla and Mom! I love you Kayla and Mom!"

Girls and I were picking up the back yard and I asked who's baby doll that I'd picked up was. Kourtney responded that it was Kayla's baby. Then I started singing "baby, baby, baby, oooohhh baby, I looove you!" Kourtney said, "not that kind of baby!" I asked, "you know what the difference is?" She simply replied "yeah."

A few weeks ago I woke in the middle of the night (around 2 or 3 am), finding Kourtney in my bed, talking. She said, "Kayla, come here." I looked around for Kayla but didn't see her. Then Kourtney said again "Kayla, come here." It happened once more before I realized that she was sleep talking! She sleep talks a lot but I usually don't understand her. Guess that night she was dreaming of doing something with her sister.

Was helping Kourtney through an emotional melt down tonight. We started talking about Uncle Ben, Aunt Alexa and Blake. I ended up showing her the picture Ben sent of one of his blisters from his eventful 72 hr disappearance. She asked, "why didn't uncle Ben wear shoes?"

My playlist is on classical this morning. Ludovico Einaudi came on and Kayla said, "This song reminds me of the olden days."
