weekend things.

this weekend was super busy and fun.  we spent lots of time with friends - old and new.  it was also glorious outside, in preparation for yet another week of cold rainy-ness.  i'm good with it during the week, although if we have another "snow" day this week, it will be the fourth week in a row, and that is definitely some sort of record.

emme was hilarious this weekend.  she is still super bossy and bit defiant, and we are working on all of those things, but she's just been...easier lately.  who knows why?  maybe we have actually chilled out with her just a little bit.  a few things she said this weekend:

- (i asked her to get a plate/cup for herself and hollis): "i don't like your attitude" and then she burst out laughing.

- (when recounting the day before bed last night): "it was really cloggy this morning and the whole sky was grey!" (cloggy = foggy).

- she was telling me how she was teaching hollis to share by yelling SHARE at him.  i told her sometimes we like to teach by showing rather than yelling.  "yeah, but i just told him because i'm a girl and girls are just girls sometimes, you know?"

more than what she is saying, the way she says everything these days is too much.  she's constantly got one hand on her hip and is such the boss.  she also loves to talk while looking in the mirror and she makes faces at herself constantly.

oh, and saturday morning she slept until almost 8 and woke up singing "mommy the snowman" at the very tip top of her lungs.

here are too many fun pics from our weekend adventures.
