"I'm getting a dog"

Ella came home from the lake last night totally distraught over needing to have her own dog. I was in a terrible mood because I was exhausted. Work was terribly slow and it made me foul. Anyway.... She started in with me about needing a dog and I said absolutely not. We already have 2 dogs and just put one to sleep in January and it is just not the right time and NO. She kept going on and on and ON AND ON. She wanted to play Let's Make A Deal. I said no deals, you are 6 and I say No. She got mad and walked away.

A little while later I said that maybe she could have a dog in 7th grade. I got my first dog in 7th grade, so that was a good time. She threw up her hands and stormed to her room. Ug...that makes me a little crazy, so my natural response was "OH MY GOD, I'M SIX AND MY LIFE IS TERRIBLE!!" I know, bad choice, but the drama wears me out.

Prince C went to her room to discuss it with her. When they returned it was decided that she could have a dog for her birthday if she took care of our dogs when she's at our house and her Mommy's dogs while she's there, EVERYDAY.

She wants a Shih Tzu. Shoot me now. Oh, Wait....It's never going to happen ANNNND if it does -- it'll be at J's because that's what Ella wants. Oh, and, J doesn't know about this dog yet.

xxoo,

5 on Tuesday (because I am forgetful)

1. Quote: I can't find Annie! I kept an ant named Annie in my pocket all day at school. Now I can't find her!

2. At Sam's today they had enormous Easter fluffies. They were like stuffed animal dog beds, I swear. I eyeballed them thinking, *perfect for Easter*....Ella said "Oh my gosh I NEED the dog one! NEED! I have been so good and I haven't gotten anything new lately!" I said well maybe the bunny will bring it. "No, I NEED it now!" Um, no. Approximately 15 minutes later she introduced us to her new stuffed dog...the one she pulled from her backpack. Stinker.

3. Prince C had to sort-of explain the tweets and the buzzes today.... Hilarious. But the full story will follow later...

4. Quote: You have magic hands! This is the best macaroni I have ever had. You should have a tv show! Ten minutes later to Prince C, You have magic hands! This is the best steak ever.... You know the rest.

5. Sunday is Little Em's 3rd birthday party. She's having a tangled tea party. The invitation requests that the guests come dressed all princessey. Ella picked out a perfect princess dress today and a matching one for Nora. I wish I didn't have to work, but Prince C will be there with camera in hand.

xxoo,

Frootie!

Supermodel

For Spring Break we went to the Children's Museum in Indy. They currently have a Barbie exhibit. Ella loved it.

Talking to Barbie on the phone.

Supermodeling.

Nora trying her hand at the Catwalk... It's blurry, but Ella and Helen are in there too.

Good times were had by all.

Butt Scooter

Last night we had dinner with my besties. After dinner we hit up Ritter's for dessert. It was chilly but we were eating ice cream and giggling so who cares...

We let Nora sit on the ground and play with rocks while we stood in a circle and chatted. She was having a great time so much so she decided to sit and spin on her bottom. We all laughed. It was a new dance move. All the adults liked it but Ella thought it was hysterical.

Ella then said, "She lookes like when a dog's butt itches and the scoot it across the carpet".

xxoo,

Frootie!
