School

Stef was so stinkin cute yesterday. MIL took her to B&N for story time and saw a cute little Disney Princess backpack for sale. She thought Stef might like it for Christmas and showed it to her. Well, Stef LOVES that little backpack. She was walking all around B&N telling people "Steffy going to school. Steffy going to school" I guess she sees the big kids at the bus stop with their backpacks and put 2 and 2 together. The next problem was that MIL never takes her purse along in to story time. So she had to pry the backpack from Stef's little grasp so they could go to the car and get her wallet. Enter bloody fit. It didn't last long, only til they went back in to pay for the thing. I told MIL to hide it during Stef's nap or she'd never get it back. When I got there to pick her up, Stef was still sleeping, so I snuck in MIL's bedroom to check out the backpack. I showed it to Steve when he got there (to scrape off some foam stuff from the day before). When Stef woke up, MIL just HAD to get the backpack out to show us how cute Stef is with it. Steve tried to play his usual "mine!" game with her but she wasn't having any parts of it with backpack. Then as I was getting her ready to go vote with me, we were all surprised that Stef just left the backpack go.

I knew Stef wasn't understanding that were going to Vote and not Boat. At the polling station, she asked "Where da water?" LOL She was so incredibly good while we waited in line, then wanted to help me push the buttons on the new electronic voting machine. It was so cute.

LMTO!!! Logan to was thinking we were going to see a boat. He kept asking where are the fishies. I was going to let him "help" me vote but the poll aids were all "He CAN'T touch the computer!!!" Buttheads, so I just enjoyed his bloody fit. All the while thinking asked for it poll people.

Come on Mama, let that poor baby have her backpack :)

Ella also loves playing with Lex's old backpacks. She pretends she's going out to the bus and going to school.

Oh, and has Koren had the baby yet?

And tell you are very welcome for the art box. I just wish I would've actually gotten it there for Halloween.

I get the bad citizen award too...I didn't vote. I couldn't drag my big preggo butt off the sofa.

That is too cute about the boat thing!

Ian loves his backpack too. He sees Ali leave every morning with hers and had to have one too.
