Drew quotes: the Maui version

Jeremy, Drew and I got to Maui a couple days before my parents' timeshare officially started so we stayed in a more modest hotel for a few days.
Drew: When are we going to the other Hawaii?


me: Drew, do you see Daddy and Boppa out in the ocean? They are boogie boarding
Drew: I see Black Hair and No Hair.

Drew is eating a granola bar for breakfast while I am teaching her how to play Go Fish when her granola bar breaks in half and falls to the floor.
Drew: Blasted granola bar!

As she was giving kisses last night, my mom was last to receive hers:
Drew: And now, a kiss for the person who buyed me my Subbies' River Rascal, my new book and my card game. My Grammy.


To the woman working in the jewelry store when she asked how Drew was doing:
Drew: Do you know what I got for Christmas? A kitchen with food in the refrigelator.

Open House and art work

Here is a little piece of art Drew made earlier this month, titled "Me in Hawaii." She has already surpassed Jeremy and my drawing skills.

 Last Thursday was our first Open House and MLS really knows how to put on a show. There were pictures and artwork everywhere. The 2 pictures here are of Drew holding a shark's jaw and a snake...she is much braver than her mom.

 Of course it's total chaos with all the kids on the playground at the same time. Since school began, Drew has become an expert on the monkey bars, totally unbeknownst to us.

 Here is Drew's jellyfish she made during ocean animals month.

 Drew and Miss Ursi, her very first teacher. Drew has already told me she does not want to leave the purple room next year or Miss Ursi. We are very thankful to have Miss Ursi as her teacher since she doesn't seem to mind Drew's regular announcements during class. Usually they occur during Circle Time and pertain to her birthday party - which she has told everyone they are invited, that we are going to Disneyland and that everyone should get her a present, specifically a bike, a car and a spaceship.

this morning's conversation

Drew (looking at a picture of Christina Aguilera): She's on The Voice.
me: What's her name?
Drew: Christine Perra.
me: Close, it's Christina Aguilera.
Drew: I don't like that name.
me: You can just call her Christina.
Drew: I think I will just call her Christine Perra.
me: OK

Let the sunshine in.

The first weekend in June brought sun (finally), strep throat for me (awesome), and Just Dance for Drew (seen on Facebook).

Spring pictures

I totally forgot I had taken these photos in April.

Lately she has only wanted to wear dresses. I even bought a couple of "play dresses" on clearance so she would stop pulling down the nice ones to play in. Today she told us we were her agents and she was going to tell us what to do. She enjoys making up words and repeating those she doesn't understand. Drawing is a new favorite hobby, we'll have to post her work soon. We do still enjoy watching TV, but more and more we are playing outside as it stays light later and watching movies as a family. Our most recent was Kung Fu Panda 2, which was awesome.

Memorial Day Weekend

We finally had some sun this May. But we also had wind. Notice the North Face jackets progressively appearing. We had a nice BBQ at the Sporleders with the usual suspects.
