Kara can say the funniest things

Kara's bedtime prayers are becoming longer and more specific. Taking after her mother. Our time together before she goes to bed is prayer time. Daddy has a reading time and I have prayer time. She starts by saying, "Thank you God for the world so sweet(glad she is so naive)for Nana,Papa,Grandma,and Reese cups for everyone." I am not sure where the Reese cups came in but how adorable. She then repeats what she said earlier but faster. She will say in Jesus name and then say, "oh yeah and thank you for whomever she played with that day" This can go on for some time. She has learned the art of stalling before bed even with her prayers.
Last night she asked if I was old. I said, "NO",she asked if Nana is old and I said,"A little bit old". I said,everyone gets old and she said,"even me". Yes, honey even you some day. She hugged and kissed me and said,"Mommy lets not ever,ever get old." Sounds good to Mommy!!!
I have prayed that Kara have a guilty conscience. I think it is working because every time one of us come home from work she tells on herself. She told Tim she was not being a good listener but only for a little bit.

Our 5th Anniv. 4/23/10

Kara actually took this picture of Tim and I on our anniversay. I am so blessed to have such an awesome husband!!!

Franklin Park Conservatory

We went for the first time to Franklin Park Conservatory to see the butterflies. She enjoyed looking at the flowers,the train and the room where people get married. She was disappointed because no one got married and a butterfly did not land on her. We still had a fun day.

Kara's favorite things

Kara's favorite thing to sleep with is a penquin(that Tim gave me when we were dating)So,we bought another one so she wouldn't tear up mine. She then needed both of them to sleep. I went to buy a back up just in case we lost the second one. The moral of the story is...we should of stuck with just one. She needs all 3 of them day and night with her. She named them Peep,Pippa,and Socko. I can't even explain how and where she came up with those names. Her other thing she does before bedtime is Daddy reads 3 books and then mommy puts her to bed. I love this picture of her and Tim reading bedtime stories.

Easter 4/4/10

Easter 4/4/10

A little late posting Easter pictures but I finally developed them. Kara actually did 3 Easter Egg Hunts. The first one at her pre-school. Tim had her practice the night before and coached her right before. He was unbelievable,he was literally yelling at her, pick them up,run,get up,don't open the eggs yet, get as many as you can. All for 10 pieces of candy, hopefully she will not be traumatized for next year. The second one was at my parent's Church which they gave out prizes instead of candy. The third one at Aunt Lisa's house with her cousin. We also read everynight about the true meaning of Easter. Jesus loved us so much that he died for all of us. Kara about 3 days later,lined her stuffed animals in a row and starting crying(fake)she came out and said,"They all died on the cross but we shouldn't cry,Mommy. They will come back to life and we will be happy again. Tim and I were amazed just listening to her as she told "us" the story. She even mentioned the "mean soldiers" but God forgave them and Jesus and one guy went to heaven and the other one did not. We pray she will always have a hunger to learn and read the stories of the Bible.

Strike a Pose

Kara comes out of her room and ask Tim, "How do I look?" She is wearing our 3D glasses,pajama bottoms around her neck(she said, it was her scarf),pajama shorts with both legs in one for a skirt,and rain boots. She said, "Do I look ravishing". I made the mistake of asking her to pose for a picture. She is 3yrs and 3mos. now with an unbelievable imagination. She has a "pretend mouse" living with us name,"Jerry" He is the one that makes all of the messes,tears things up and sleeps in the ceiling fan. She wants to leave cheese and toys out for him. Tim and I are ready for "Jerry" to find a new home.
