Experimenting With My New Camera

Reagan graciously volunteered to be the model as I tried out my new camera.  Behold: Reagan at nine!  Little Girl is growing up!!!

Little Women

Reagan and I were watching the new version of Little Women that Masterpiece put out.  I thought it was very well done, and enjoyed it thoroughly.  Reagan was very "meh" about the whole thing.

Reagan: "Wait.  HOW many sisters are there again?"
Mom: "Four.  Jo, Meg, Bethann, and Amy"
Reagan: "Only FOUR?  It seems like there's thousands!"
Mom: "Thousands of sisters?"
Reagan: "YES!  At least ten.  There has to be at least ten sisters in this movie."

HAHAHAHAHA.

At other times, she was spending more time watching me than the movie.  Which I found very irritating.

Reagan: "Mom!  Are you CRYING???  Seriously?  Why are you crying?"
Mom: "Because BethAnn is dying!"
Reagan: "So?  Why would that make you cry?"

ARGH.  Where is my kindred spirit to watch chick flicks with me???  I had very high hopes for Reagan, but.... maybe it's too soon.

In Honor of Mother's Day

What Little Miss wrote about me on Mother's Day....

Suspicious Canuks

Reagan was doing her Michigan State History tonight, and read that initially, it was suggested that Detroit become Michigan's state capital.  The idea was nixed, however, because Detroit was too close to Canada, and that would make it vulnerable if there were ever a Canadian-American war.  I laughed out loud.

Me: "That's funny.  We've never had a war with Canada."
Reagan: "Well, you never know.  Everyone always says how nice those Canadians are.  But they're SO nice, they just might be up to something!"



HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.

Reading Month Unplugged Night

Leaving Her Mark

Reagan, sweet child that she is (and a hard-bargaining entrepreneur), cleaned my bathroom for me the other day.  She did a fantastic job tidying up, and when I went in to wash my face before bed, I found THIS:

All the bars of soap stacked in a pyramid, with an "I love you" message written on it in red lipstick.

Just so we wouldn't forget who did the cleaning.....

Will the Crafting Never End???

Tonight, Reagan made herself a new headband, by hot-gluing beads onto it.  She did a great job, and did not burn herself like her mother always does when using glue guns!
