Hannah is often tries to pin her stuff on Olive-- "Well Olive..." is a common response I get even if Olive clearly didn't do it because she's asleep or something. She likes to sneak frozen strawberries from the freezer and tries to pin it on Olive.
Hannah adores Dewey. She'll just sit with him, hold his hand and get a good doting session on saying things like "your just such a cutie pie, cute, cute, cute, oh I just love you, cute, cute, cutie, cutie pie." Dewey is so willing to give her a big gummy smile accompanied by a little dance and a "huu".
When she doesn't get her way and she is having a hard day, she'll very teenagerly spot out "I hate you. You never let us do ___." Her turrets doesn't stop there, she often turns on Heber or Olive if they do something wrong. Then the next moment she is back to her sweet happy self. Don't worry though, my next post won't be "How to be a Doormat Parents and Let Your Kids Walk All Over You."
Olive and her are starting a ballet class next week through the city of Plano's recs. There classes are both on Saturday mornings. Hannah has been wanting to do this for over a year. They both filled up to chore charts to "pay" for there ballet slippers and class.
She likes praticing ballet, drawing and playing with Heber. They have a bitter/sweet relationship, normally more sweet than bitter. And they can play princess marries cowboys and indians for a long time.
Hannah is all girl. She loves princesses and dark pink. Her favorite princesses are Sleeping Beauty and the Twelve Dancing Pricesses. Her girlness rubs of onto Olive as well.
She is super quirky and this come out in different ways, like driving her tricycle like a drunkard. Or just her weird of the the wall questions and remarks.

Just another day in paradise
Lindsay came over and made Valentine's dinner for us. Pizza and cookies with chocolate milk yum.
Talmage sent me tulips. Beautiful. I feel loved.
We played game like "Valentine's Day Mix Up" and Heber was a Valentine's Burp.

Banana Massacre Results
They had some of the bananas for breakfast. We froze the rest and made "ice cream" with them. There are still a few more left. They sweetly attempted to make me a salad with avocados (you can see some rolling around on the floor). I finished making the salad they started and ate it for breakfast.

Banana Massacre of 2014
I sleep in today for the first time in a while, well kind of. Actually I just stayed in my bed while they came to me with their problems. I solved big dilemmas such as;
"Sorry that is not your shirt anymore, it is too small on you. ...I know it is your favorite."
Or “Yes, I understand that you don't like the princess movie Heber. ...Yes, it is pretty girly. ...That's ok because it is not time to watch a movie."
Or "I'm sorry Hannah bit you, come cuddle by me."
So after I finally got up, this is what I found in the kitchen. Haha! That what happens when I sleep (or hope to sleep) on the job.
