Mallory first said this on our trip to California back in January and I don’t know that I ever posted about it – but she called PALM trees PLUM trees. She did it again on our trip to Florida in May.
I need to get it on video.
Because IT IS SO STINKING CUTE.
Her latest is scream cheese. I kept thinking she meant cream cheese, but what she really means when she says scream cheese is STRING cheese.
Duh.

I am so lucky.
That’s all.
Is it that obvious?
We walked up to the grocery store after school today (oh yeah, if I ever finished that post about our new house, you’d know that we are 2.5 blocks from a grocery store!) and Mallory rode her pink bike and wore her pink helmet. This was the first time she could ride her pink bike to the store because we just got her a pink bike lock.
So as we locked up her pink bike with her pink bike lock, and she took off her pink Princess helmet and hung it on the handlebars of her pink bike, a nice …
Noisy Shoes
Mallory graduated to pre-ballet & tap this summer (from her regular old creative movement dance class she was in last year).
They alternate weeks of ballet & tap and you know I keep the tap shoes in the car lest I forget what week we are on and don’t have them with us.
Today was the last day of class so we asked (and were granted) permission to watch class. And because I’m *that mom*, I had my camera.
Good thing, because if I hadn’t brought my camera – who would have gotten a picture of Mallory’s super-wedgie?
And we wouldn’t have this picture …
Sometimes, a picture just won’t do
Imagine I wrote a post here about my sweet son, and how he has learned to wink. It started out with him trying to imitate me winking at him and has progressed to him winking on command {making my kids do silly things is truly one of my most favorite things about being a mom…}.
Carson winking consists of him squeezing both eyes tight. It is beyond adorable and I can’t stand it. I do need to get an actual picture so when I make a book from my blog, I have a record of it (but maybe in a few …
My competition.
Looks as though I don’t have to look very far for my closest photography competition.
Mallory told me tonight:
“I have to do some work.
I have to order some pictures that I took with my polka dot camera. Maybe when I turn 4, I can get some makeup and a phone and a computer….
Ok, I have to order some pictures. Don’t bug me.”
Oh Lord, that kid kills me.
The Beauuuuutiful Princess
The “red sky by night” last night was spectacular – so I (of course) grabbed my camera to see what I could do.
This is what I did. No photoshopping of the background, I promise. When I asked Mallory who it was a picture of, she said “the beauuuuuuutiful princess”.
Here are two more of my silly princess.
Run, Carson, run!
An empty fieldhouse? Check
A bossy big sister? Check
A little boy who can’t sit still? Check
Seasons
Mallory’s teacher told me a funny story about my sweet girl today.
Apparently they were talking about the calendar last week, and how it was August, and the season was summer.
Mrs Paula asked the class what season came after summer. Mallory put her hand up and Mrs Paula called on her.
Mallory’s answer?
“Football season! And then it’s winter!”
Sunflowers & Siblings
I PROMISE YOU that I don’t tell them to hold hands like this. Mallory just reaches her hand out, sometimes telling Carson to hold her hand, but he always does without a fight. I really need to get a good close up of just their hands.
Anywho, I took the kids out to check the sunflowers at Domino’s Farms. Carson was more interested in anything that wasn’t sunflowers, like the cows across the street…that had an electric fence keeping them in. Or Carson out.
So all of us headed across the street – and I couldn’t get any good pictures there because …
