Today's Funnies

Reese said so many funny things today. Here is a sample of our conversations...

Mommy: "Reese, what is your full name?"
Reese: "R - E - S - E"
M: "That is how you spell your name. Your full name is Reese Elizabeth Haag."
R: "Yay! Reese Elithbeth Haag!"

I was cleaning some leaves out of our bushes and Reese had fun helping. I kept giving her leaves to carry to the woods and told her, "Thank you!" Each time Reese replied, "Thank you too!"

M: "Do you know what town we live in? What's the name of our town?"
R: Thought for awhile, then smiled and said enthusiastically "Home!"

M: "Did you know a real princess got married today?"
R: Looked surprised/amazed and said, "What's her name?"
M: "Princess Catherine."
R: "Does she have long hair like Tangled?" (the movie)
M: "Yes, her hair is long. But not as long as in Tangled."
R: "What's the other one's name?"
M: Assuming she means the princess in Tangled said, "Rapunzel"
R: "She wears a purple dress!"

Picnic Drama

Reese and I had a picnic in our backyard today. All went well until Reese saw the cookie I brought outside. Unfortunately she has her mom's sweet tooth and flipped out when I told her she had to eat her sandwich before the cookie. She was so upset we had to go inside and calm down with her paci in her bed (the only place she is allowed to have her paci). When she finally calmed down, we went downstairs and started eating her sandwich again. She tortured herself while eating by asking me "Can I see the cookie?", then "Can I hold it?" Eventually she finished her sandwich and was rewarded with that cookie. Oh the drama!

Fuzz

Reese is obsessed with getting fuzz out of her toes. She takes off her socks and inspects multiple times a day. If she sees fuzz between her toes, she immediately takes it out. If she can't get it, she asked me to "scrub it" and get it out for her. Her toe fuzz obsession has expanded to my toes too. This is very serious buiness, at least according to the serious looks on our faces in this picture.

Lake Easter

We finished up our Easter celebrations with a fun day at the Lake with the Haags. Reese could not get enough of her cousin Aubrey and gave her lots of hugs and kisses thoughout the day. It was a bit warmer today, so we spent more time outside going on another Easter egg hunt, playing baseball, and riding the 4 wheeler and new scooter Troy and Tammy found for free on the side of the road. Good times!

New Organ

Church on Easter Sunday was extra special today because it was the first service with our new organ. Beautiful!

More Austin Easter

Just a couple more pictures from Easter in Austin.

Austin Easter

It was a fun (but cold) Easter in Austin! The kids did a great job hunting for eggs, then opened their presents from the Easter bunny. How did he know that Jack is writing a movie and needed a ninja outfit for him and Rapunzel outfit for Lauren for the storyline?

Trip to Austin

We traveled to Austin this evening to start our Easter celebration. Reese, Jack, and Lauren had fun playing, then all crashed on the couch to watch a movie before bed.

Pump It Up

We enjoyed our morning with our neighbors at Pump It Up, an inflatable party zone. Reese was a little overwhelmed with the busy place and wanted the bounce houses all to herself, like at home! So, we just watched the other kids for awhile until Reese warmed up - just in time for the Easter egg hunt.

We concluded our morning wiht a trip to McDonalds with our neighborhood friends.

Deer Hunter

Libby was outside this afternoon and tried to hunt a deer! The poor deer was injured (but could easily move) and stood completely still in fear as Libby crept up the bank toward it. What a bully!
