Krissy's Birthday Interview

Krissy is 4 years old today!

She is sweet but spunky. She won't talk to strangers and typically give them dirty looks if they talk to her.  She is attached to my hip and gets her feelings hurt if I go anywhere with out her.  She's always on the counter with me while I'm in the kitchen... whether it's doing dishes, dumping in ingredients for recipes, or putting groceries away, she's wanting to help.  She yells... a lot.  Mostly at Austin.  We're working on talking nicely to people we love.  She's our most adventurous eater and will try just about anything.  She's always had a tiny build and we get asked a lot if Austin is her twin.  Hayden & Allie were both taller when they turned 4 than she is. She wakes up weekly because of "growing pains". She rarely naps during these day, but goes to sleep really easily at night.  Her favorite past time is playing Barbies with Allie when she gets home from school.  I hear a lot that she looks just like me.  She also has the best laugh.  

We love you, Krissy!

1st Day of School Interview

Our 1st day of school didn't go as smoothly as I had envisioned!  I woke up with the most horrific kink in my neck and the pain was so bad I couldn't even stand up. Can't say I have ever experienced anything like it.  I was laying on the family room floor and realizing I was going to need some help.  I texted Kevin about 6:30am (he's been sleeping at my parents or his parents house so he has a quiet house to sleep in)  and thankfully he was not asleep yet.  He said he would be right over to help me out.  When he pulled in the driveway he came in and laughed.  He said I couldn't have taken Hayden to school like I had planned because my van had a flat tire!  Geez oh Pete!  I spent the morning trying to help from the rocking chair.  Kevin played super dad and got breakfast made, and Hayden's lunch made.  He was also taking care of the other kids needs.  It's hard feeling so helpless on a big day!  Kevin drove Hayden to school today and he will ride the bus home.  I'm looking forward to hearing all about his day!
