Fancy Like Nancy - Girls Night In
Every time Daddy is on call we have a little party with Mom. Our last party was exquisite. Rissie, Anna and I dressed up in our fanciest clothes and our favorite accessories. We visited with Grandma Lee who gave us our Fancy Nancy books, but we were so fancy, I am sure she thought we were movie stars! Then we had parfaits with sprinkles. Parfait is a fancy word for ice cream-sundae. We ate with our pinkies up and called each other darling. Then, we finished our party at the Living Room Theater. It was a splendid night!
Don't we look POSH?


These are some simply MUST SEE videos
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

Oh my heavens I can't get over how much I just love them! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my heavens??? I'm not that dramatic. But BRAVO LADIES!!!! You will make you new bother tough as nails with all this girl power.
Oh gosh! You make it look so fun to have a house full of girls! I was looking at that post thinking, "why haven't I done that?" Then I remembered the boys might not be into feather boas. Addie needs to come visit those girls of yours for sure!
So fun!...maybe I can get Andrew to play with me :)...ha ha ha..sigh.
What a great way to make a potentially long night so much fun!
The pictures are adorable! They are fancier than Nancy. Of course! - - they always have been. I haven't been able to get the videos to work, so I'll come and see you instead. Yay!
So, that last comment was from me. Dad would never use those words. :) I had to sign him out and sign me in. Next time I'll check!
We love fancy nancy- we read it all the time! What a cute and fabulous mother you are. I haven't thought to do a Fancy Nancy girls night. I might have to try it. Love you!
what a good mom you are! Way to make the best of what could be a lonely evening away from the husby. We miss you guys.
loved it! I had to share with Alece since her little Kenley is a Fancy Nancy connoisseur (that's a fancy word for "fan").
The best part is that I'll be there to hug and kiss them in only a couple of weeks! Oh, and loved the posh ice cream dishes.
What a perfectly delightful way to spend on-call nights! I'll have to remember this ... and tweak it for our little prince ;)
You are such a fun mom!
I wish you could see how everyone stops what they are doing to come and see what is playing on your blog. We love and miss you all!
