Alanna The Snake Keeper:

A few days ago, we were playing with play dough and Alanna made a snake and put it around her neck.  She said it was her pet.  And the little ones on the table???  Yep, the babies.  She was so proud of herself and had to kiss them and tell them good night when we put them away in the ziplock bags when we were done.  These are the ONLY snakes I will touch and allow in my house. =)

Friday Funnies:

1. While eating dinner one night, I asked Alanna how   she knew so many things.  She said that she just knows them in her brain and they come down and out her mouth.

2. While shopping for a new suit for daddy, an older gentleman was helping us and asked Alanna how she was doing.  She said, "I'm great, how are you doing?"  He responded, "I'm fine for an old man."  She immediately turned to me and said "Mom, that man is old and he's about to die and go to heaven right?"

3. While Alanna was playing with her doll house, I overheard her saying "No, you can't have cake 'cause you're allergic!"  

This girl cracks us up daily!  

Helping Dad:

Cie-J has to fill up his car with antifreeze and oil every few days (that's a WHOLE different story) and he decided to do it at night instead of rushing to do it before work.  He stuck his head in the front door and asked if I'd bring him a flashlight.  Alanna heard him and immediately ran to her room and got her little pink flashlight with flowers on it. =)  She came to me and said "I got this mom.  I can help dad."

She ran outside to him and held her little flashlight under the hood, because she really wanted to help out.  Even thought it was five minutes past bed time, even though it was cold, and even though my phone provides more light than that little flashlight, we let her help.  It was such a sweet moment.

Railroad Museum:

 Alanna got invited to a birthday party for a big 7 year old boy because his little sister is one of Alanna's best friends.  So basically, she was there to entertain the sister.  It was great!  It was at the railroad museum in our town that was built in 1903.

They had this small train that a man built for his own personal use that the kids could crawl up in.  She 

thought it was SO NEAT and went in it three times.

One whole room upstairs had this really cute little town set up and there was a train that ran through it.  All the kids loved this room.  Shoot, even I loved this room! HA!  It was just really neat how each thing was built to scale.

Such a fun place!  We will have to go back for sure.  She says she wants her next birthday party here.  

Oh my.  We shall see....

Monkey Monday:

 I don't love all the laundry on the couch that needed to be folded, but I DO love that my sweet girl crawled up on my lap, put her arm around my neck, and wanted to check my emails with me. =)

Friday Funnies: Shyne Edition

 Shyne (say Shine) was eating a graham cracker while I was holding her.  I asked her to smile for me and this is what I got.  HAHA!

And not to be out cheesed....Alanna had to add her smile in too. ;)
