First Fort

First Fort

Girls, we made our first fort last week.

Of course, I am a little ashamed it took us this long.

We sat most of the dining room chairs in a circle in the living room and draped a large white sheet over it.

Under it, we put a blanket, a sleeping bag, and a few pillows.

And after a little testing, H you topped it off by putting your toy lantern inside.

My favorite was coming home at 5, crawling under, and watching movie trailers on my phone while you both sat in my lap.

We played in it a little most every night for about a week before we had to take it down for the cleaning lady.

It was amazing.

Let’s do it again soon.

Please?

I love you.

Dueling Notebooks

Dueling Notebooks At Our House

H and K, Y’all have been walking around the house the last week with dueling notebooks.

H, it all started when you got a new notebook as a birthday present.

Pink, with a fuzzy cloth cover, and a medallion of a unicorn on the end of the bookmark, is about all a 5-year-old girl can ask for in a notebook, I guess.

But then, of course, it did not take long before K saw it.

And she immediately needed one too.

We quickly found one of H’s old discarded notebooks – featuring Anna and Elsa from Frozen on the cover – and offered it.

K, you were thrilled and so proud.

It has been perfect.

Y’all are perfect.

Y’all are beautiful.

I love you.

Buller

Buller

K, you love your “buller.”

You mean “butter,” of course.

But you say it “buller.”

You are going through that phase that every kid goes through, where you can eat literally eat butter by the spoonful.

And you do.

I say that, but H can still do the same thing.

We made waffles the other day and you ate nothing but the butter off the top.

By the time we were almost done, you were eating it off the end of the butter knife.

Frankly, I can’t believe you like butter even more than the syrup.

You are especially on a “butter and tortilla” kick right now.

“Torta and buller.”

We about make a meal out of it every time we go to On The Border.

You are perfect in every way.

And my word, you are adorable with your pigtails.

I’ll see you in 15 minutes.

I love you.
