A CONVERSATION WITH BRIGHT EYES---LOOK AT THAT BIRD!

I stayed with my daughter and her family

for a couple of days on the way home
from vacation.

Bright Eyes (aka Anna Ireland)

popped into the bedroom right after

I woke up.

Looking out the window

there was a small sweet bird

sitting on the branch of the tree.

Nana:  Oh! Look, Anna!

Look at that little bird.

I wonder if it is one of 

God's little messengers...

or maybe it is your guardian angel.

Maybe it is your Cousin Anna Bella

and SHE is your guardian angel.

Long Pause:

Anna:  Yeah- Or maybe it is just a bird

sitting on a branch.

So, there you have it, folks!

I think we have a realist in the group!

Have a wonderful Friday.

COMING SOON:
Pictures of the condo!

WORDS FROM THE WORLD OF A FIVE YEAR OLD

Little Miss BrightEyes

has her own take on

EVERYTHING.

I want to post this before 

St. Patrick's Day is too long gone.

The day after St. Patrick's Day:

Bright Eyes:  Am I all done wearing green?

Mama said- "Yes~why?"

Bright Eyes- "Because who wants

to walk around looking like

A WEED!

Above she was at a church party.

Mama: Who is your new little girlfriend?

Bright Eyes- Her name is METAL.

Mama:  What?  What's her name?

Bright Eyes- Her name is METAL, I said!

Mama:  Are you SURE that's her name?

Bright Eyes- No-nobody knows her 

REAL NAME 

so we all just call her METAL.

I am pretty sure Bright Eyes is the one

that bestowed that name on her.

And- there you have it-

Conversations with The Kid!

BANTERING WITH BRIGHT EYES-A NEW FEATURE

I am going to do some 

short little snippets of 

CONVERSATIONS WITH THE KID

every once in a while called

BANTERING WITH BRIGHT EYES.

Probably everyone has one

REALLY FUNNY KID

in their family

OR

you know someone that has 

THAT KID.

Ours used to be 

SWEETCHEEKS

and many of you followed along

and laughed at her antics.

SweetCheeks is STILL funny

but on an "older kid" level now.

Well, THIS KID, is 

JUST AS FUNNY.

Here she is after cutting her bangs tight

to her head in front.

Yep--she is THAT KID!

She is not as DROLL as SWEETCHEEKS

but she is funny in a different way.

Smart beyond her years.

We were visiting this past week.

She was rubbing Papa's (MyHero) head

and looking at it.

He just got a haircut and it is

VERY SHORT!

I did NOT have my camera so missed

the photo op--but you will get the idea.

So-Here is 

CONVERSATION #1!

She climbs up on Papa's lap and is

rubbing his head.

Bright Eyes:  Papa- What is wrong with your head?

Papa:  What do you mean?

BE: Look at your hair!!!! (laughing)

Papa: What's wrong with my hair?

BE: It's all spotty and missing in spots  Why don't you just shave your whole head? That would look a LOT better, Papa!

Papa:  My hair is just fine, Bright Eyes!

BE:  Wait- Let me get you a mirror! (as she runs off to get a mirror from her "princess kit")

Thanks for humoring me by reading this.

While I am doing these to give you a smile 

for the day I am also doing them so that we

have a record of 

THINGS SHE SAYS.

Have a wonderful, wonderful week!!!!

There's Trouble AFOOT- Conversations With Kids-

Sometimes when the grandgirls are here

I just sit and  listen without them realizing it.

Those are often the best conversations of all.

Last weekend, SweetCheeks & Ria were

sitting together.

.They usually get along quite well-

not a lot of spits and spats between them.

SCheeks:  Ria, will you rub my feet? (sweetly)

Ria:  Yeah, SweetCheeks. Okay.

SCheeks: Oh- That feels SO good, Ria!

Ria:(putting her feet up)  Will you rub mine, too?

SCheeks:  (adamantly) 

NO!  I HATE touching feet.

Ria stops rubbing.

SCheeks: (begging)

 Ria!  PULHLEASE  rub my feet? 

Ria: (starts rubbing her feet again)

Ria:  Okay- but SweetCheeks you HAVE to rub my feet, too.

SCheeks (half crying) Ria- I TOLD you I HATE touching feet.

Ria:  Fine!  I am NOT rubbing your feet then.  You can rub your own feet.

SCheeks:  (tearing up now)  

Ria- I CAN'T rub my own feet.

Ria:  Why NOT?

SCheeks:  I TOLD YOU- I DON'T LIKE TOUCHING FEET!

I am in the corner laughing myself silly.

SCheeks not knowing calls out:

Nana!  Can you make Ria rub my feet for me?

Me:  No, SweetCheeks, I can't~

SCheeks:  Fine!  I didn't want her to rub them anyways!  

As you can see-they still love each other!

At least ONE of them does!

Sound anything like YOUR house?

Tomorrow is the first day of May- 

Hooray!  Hooray!

I may have something special to show you...

or maybe not
