The Carter's

one excited girl!

We went to Beauty and the Beast with chloe and beth last week! Liza had been looking forward to it for months. When she watched the movie she cried and cried when the beast turned into a man because she was so sad the beast got so sick. we talked a lot about it and she finally understood that the beast got to have his wish come true which was to turn back into a man and to marry belle.

so during the actual show..liza would whisper (in her YELL wisper) "MOMM, ARE THEY IN LOVE??" " IS HE GOING TO GET HIS WISSSSSSHHH?" over and over again. she really loved the show and clapped vigorously after every song and she was like..."mom! i didn't even cry!" liza slept in her bed all night for 4 nights in a row so she got a special Belle barbie with cup (chip) she brought those with her and every time those characters walked on the stage she would hold them up.

liza has been cracking us up so so much.

she has been inserting some extra words into her sentences .

like "awfully" and "probably"

she looks at mccoy and says "oh mccoy, you are such a little stinker, aren't you" about a hundred times a day.

she is big into pretending she is a teacher. she will help us pronunciate words a lot. like today she told me a hundred time her shoes said lelly kelly on them so she would say, "mom can you say lelly, like this lelly; and i would repeat her.. and then she would say, kelly.. and then she would say; say lelly kelly". she had a complete school today with mccoy in trying to teach him the safety of going down the stairs on his belly. she was a complete teacher and very patient. it was really funny to watch!

he , of course, did everything she asked!

she was crying for me to come into her room before her nap today...

when i went in there i said

"ohhhhhh, you missed your mommie?? just say it, am i the prettiest momma you have ever seen?"

(*just so you know this is said VERY sarcastically**haha)

and she said, "nope." and i said "whaaaaa????, who is it then????" and she said, "Coco!"

liza and i were laughing so hard tears where in our eyes. we laughed and laughed .

 (i think it is confirmed. we have the EXACT same sense of humor :) )

so tonight she said, mom? can we play the prettiest momma game? and so we did and she would insert everyone she could think of, but the one that cracked her up the most was saying that uncle chippy was the prettiest!!!

chip--she also said , 'member when uncle chippy put me on his shoulders in coco and crickets house? well that was pretty dangerous don't you think?"

and this little dude got to have some friend time too! alex got to come over and play twice over the weekend! yay! this shot was an early morning play date on graham's way to pick up breakfast. we loved it! :)

these past two weeks have been insanely busy. jason had his big golf tourney and we had both sides of family in town including my brother and all sorts of friends in town as well! we let our hair down friday night...ok, i guess you could say i am responsible for more of the "we" in that situation. It was so fun to have our friends and fam in town and all together!

during the past 2 weeks jason and i and the kids have had something EVERY SINGLE night. not even kidding about that. we were exhausted. we vowed to not plan one thing this weekend and my kids took 3 hour naps and we got a ton done which included relaxing and soaking up some family time. WHICH, i needed because i am headed back to atlanta for more training tomorrow. ugh. i'm so ready for this part to be over!  Linda is here helping jason so we are VERY thankful! i will miss my babies!!!
