little miss rose

This picture pretty much sums up our little charlee rose. She is cute, but she is something else. She can be mean. She can be sweet. She can be bossy. She can be kind. She can be naughty. She can be cuddly. We love her. Everybody loves her. We don't know why. She isn't very nice to many people. If you aren't campbell (her bff) and if you don't have candy or juice or something pink on or some sort of jewelery she isn't going to pay much attention to you. Without fail she rips her pony tails (she calls them "My little ponies" when there are two and "horsie" when there is one) out at some point in the day and yesterday she told us that campbell took her penguin, "so I put my hands on my hips like the Gingerbread man when he says "No No I won't come back. I'd rather run than be your snack" and I called her to give it back" Now can you see why she talks all day. She has a lot to say...over and over again.

She has tons of shoes, but will only wear one pair. They are so thrashed. They match what she's wearing about 2 percent of the time and they are starting to stink. She calls them "pink flowers". A day that both nick and I were fearing is here...pink flowers don't fit anymore. She tries to put them on and after a minute screams and takes them off. I'm not about to pick any out without her...I'll take her today and she can pick the replacements of the beloved pink flowers.

My mom, Becky and I went to the BYU Ballroom dancers. We went to dinner at Logan's and then headed up to Paradise with an empty tank of gas.We made it on a fumes and a prayer. We sat in the front row, dead center. so fun. I loved it. High On A Mountain Top was my favorite number. So, that night I came home and dreamed that I was backstage sitting at the catering table eating all their food. What do you think that means about me? I will admit, even in my dream I was a little embarrassed. Back when I was like 13 my mom and I went to the Oroville State Theatre to watch the BYU dancers and we sat in the exact same spot then too. It's our favorite.

I subbed yesterday...on a minimum day. That's the best. And it happened to be mashed potatoes and gravy day (yes I ate hot lunch at school and LOVED it). Sam is probably so jealous. It took me back to my days at wyandotte. I subbed half day for two different teachers (they had meetings) and somehow it hit so that I had yard duty for both teachers. Yuck. The turkey gravy made up for it though.

And we have a busy weekend ahead. birthdays, primary program and pizza party, sharing time, famer's dinner + the silent auction basket that I'm in charge of and I want to see that LaNell Brown and that Katie Call when they are in town.

But for now, I will go down stairs and check on campbell and charlee. It's been quiet for a while.
