Happy Anniversary
Yesterday, Jon and I celebrated our fourth anniversary. Jon surprised me by getting a babysitter (which has been a bit of a trick for us here), then we went to Italiani's, one of our favorites in Plaza Galarias. Then we crossed the mall to the VIP theater and watched License to Wed, which ended up having half the cast from "The Office". I don't favor movies where the conflict is frustration, but it was still pretty good and cleaner than most today. That's always a plus.
What's a VIP theater you ask? It is THE BEST way to watch a movie. Picture stadium seating with the big screen then add soft leather recliners with a small table between every two seats and a waiter to bring your order of popcorn, drinks, sandwich, or sushi.
Where does it hurt?
3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"
Junk Food
9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"
Cookie Dough
L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...
Finding the Moon
Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08
Kids are the best source of laughter
- I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
- R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
- L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07

So, you don't favor Brownish/Green hair, do you? I can't see the green, it just looks brown and it really isn't as bad as you described.
Nah, green just isn't my color.
This picture is the fixed "red" version. Scroll down, you'll see the green on a different post.
Your family is beautiful! So fun that all the "Lee's" are getting blogs and we can all keep up with one another!
Your girls may have something to learn in the make-up department, but they've got ingenuity down pat! What smart little ladies!
VIP theater is the way to go! sounds really nice. It is so fun to see your family pictures!
