I EAT ALL MY ...

[Pause the music so you can hear the video.]

Libby has just been cracking me UP lately.

Tonight, she was declaring that she was going to eat everything on her plate. But she kept getting interrupted. By her brothers. After laughing at her ...

"TI - YIT." [quiet]

"TIIIII ... YIT!" [quiiiiiiiiiiet]

"TI - YIT, BEPP!" [quiet BRETT!]

... I had to try & catch a video. I didn't get her yelling "TI-YIT", but you can still see she's serious about finishing this statement. She's gonna be a bossy one, I tell you.

I Think I Know ...

I think I know where she learned this.

Libby's First Day ...

Last week Libby started school! She had a GREAT 1st DAY!

Unfortunately ... the night before her 2nd day, she got sick [At 2:00am. And in Davis's bed.]

Poor girl had to stay home from her 2nd day of school to recuperate.

Look Who's Sleeping in My Bed ...

Libby has been sneaking off to the boys' room at various points in the night. Brett's on the top bunk ... but Davis's bed is easily accessible.

Lucky Davis. :)

Mentmeth Libby

If you read my cREaTe blog last week, you'd know what a Montmess was.  Well, I guess technically it was always Montmeth.  And this week she's tweaked it into Mentmeth. What am I talking about?!  Oh ... it's the way Libby says PRINCESS.  She thinks she's royalty now.

[Libby & her friend Delaney]

Me:  "Are you fancy?" [photo above was me asking this question]

Libby: "No.  Mentmeth."

Me:  "Libby, are you a silly girl?"

Libby:  "No.  Mentmeth."

Me:  "Libby, are you beautiful?"

Libby:  "No.  Mentmeth."

Oh & here?  This was her this morning shouting "I'M. A. MENTMETH!"

She's now got a Mentmeth bed, in case you haven't seen.

The ultrasound from November 2006 might have announced it the 1st time ... but it's now official.  We have a GIRL!

Oh ... My Children

I've seen kids play "Doctor", "Restaurant", "Family", "Beauty Shop", etc.  But never ... THIS.  Mickey & the Build-a-Bear look so violated.

Libby's New 'Do ...

Libby's got a new look for summer.  The out-of-control-'fro just ... is driving me crazy.  I don't know what to do with it.  It's not growing long.  It's growing high & outward.  So here's what I've been doing the past couple of days.  :)  The more, the merrier.  

"Ah - ho"

This is Libby's new favorite phrase.

I can't let Daisy's dog food hit the dish without hearing "Ah-ho" from another room.

Libby comes running.

"Ah - ho"

"Ah - ho" 

"Ah - ho"

"Ah - ho"

"Ah - ho"  

Daisy needs to go outside?  

"Ah - ho".

TRANSLATION:  "I help."

Celebrating with Cousins...

I never finished posting pictures of Libby's mini-parties. 

She had one with her "Morgan Cousins" ... Eli & Roman.  It was the day Becky & Roman came to meet us halfway to pick up Leah & Eli and take them up to their house for the rest of the weekend.  We met here at this new cupcake place { Cupcake a la Mode } ...

and we treated everyone to one of these amazing cupcakes. YUM.  I bought prince crowns for the boys & of course the princess got her own.

  

A week later Libby celebrated with her "Twin Cousin", Will & the rest of the Twenter Cousins.

 

  

Dawn & I went from keeping things simple, meeting at a place to grab a pizza ... to a party with snacks, drinks, cake & ice cream.  It was a last minute change ... but we still pulled off a theme {thanks to some leftovers from Brett's 4th Birthday}.  

How Libby Spent Her Day...

We've had so many Birthday celebrations, I'll have to break this down into a couple posts.  But here's what Libby got to do on her actual Birthday (March 5).

She started the day with some Birthday cards that the boys had made her!  So sweet!

Then Libby got Mommy & Daddy all to herself after  B & D were off to school.  

[mommy & daddy swinging Libby while we walked]

Kyle & I took her down to the Plaza Library for a toddler story, song & craft time.

  

She LOVED every minute of it.  I think she felt like the luckiest girl there, having BOTH parents with her.  :)  We then took her to Winsteads near the Plaza for lunch!

  

After nap, we picked up her brothers from school.  We went to the park & brought a kite!  It was fun to just get out & enjoy the sunshine.  

When we came home from the park, we showed Miss Libbs her kitchen!  She was so excited!

Sadly, Daddy had to go to work that night.  

And we had a chain of unfortunate events ... in a nutshell, Daddy's car wouldn't start when it was time to leave.  He ripped his pants.  We all had to take Daddy to the airport.  1/4 of the way to the airport we had to turn around because our security alarm was going off.  The Hello Kitty balloon had set off the motion detector.  But we didn't let the last couple of hours spoil her day.  Libby had the most wonderful, fun-filled day.  She is one LUCKY little girl.  

I am Birthday'ed out ... but it's time to start gearing up for D's #5!
