First Crush

"Mama! There's Peter Pan!" Shirley sighed, "Oh, Mama, I YUFF him. He FLIES."

Thank you! Thank you!

This morning, Shirley told me she was "Gonna DROW UP!" and that she needed a bucket right away. She had the hiccups and I think she sincerely believed she might throw up. So, I got her out a bucket and she leaned over it as if she expected something to happen. When nothing did happen, she put the bucket on her head and wore it most of the day bowing and saying, "Thank you! Thank you!" I think she thinks it's a top hat. She is nothing if not resourceful.

Play Time!

A mall near our house has a pretty nice indoor playground that has been a life saver over the course of this VERY cold winter. Last week we went twice! Here are some cute pictures I got while we were there.

Squirrelly Shirley

Ignore the caption.

This picture is totally true...if you imagine that instead of a pretty dress, I'm still wearing my nightgown. At 4pm.

Telling Secrets

Baby Jail

Nobody knows...the trouble I've seen... Nobody knows...my sorrow.

Nobody knows...the trouble I've seen.
Glory, Hallelujah.
Look at Shirley in the background. She really thinks she's in jail. Poooooor Shirley.
