Breakfast, breakfast, my favorite first meal,
Can I have a doughnut, or maybe some oatmeal?
Remember, I can’t like butter or bread,
But please don’t take too long I really need to be fed!
All done! It was so good! Thank you thank you!
You know just what I like! How did you guess? You must like that too.

Good job, now go wash your hands, first soap,
Not so much, Lily, now don’t you mope.
Scrub, scrub, scrub, now for your teeth.

My teeth, my teeth! I love to brush my teeth!
I love my pink paste and princess brush,
Oooo did I see my baby in my room? I better rush
I think she’s stinky and needs a diaper change.
Baby, did you say you were hungry? That’s strange,

Where did your bottle go? Is it in the lego drawer?
I could make a tower… higher, higher, just a little more,
And crash! Jaron, did you do that?
What a cool hat!

Can I try it on? Let me try.
I don’t care if you had it first its mi-
Ow! You hit me! Why!?!
Now I’m going to cry!!!!!

I have to say sorry? But he hit me!
Yes. I took the hat and would be sad if he did that to me.
Okay, I’m sorry and I love you. Let’s play!
I won’t be mean, please stay!

I love to play with you all the time.
Hot or cold, at home or away- anytime!

Thankful Turkey

What Pilgrims Do:
Thought to sail
bUild huts
Run away from England
King of England wouldn't let them worship God
Eat food Native Americans taught them to grow
Yes, God is faithful

The Pumpkin Pie is Gone!
Mom made a pie
Someone came along and put her face in it,
then she ran away.
Another girl came along and stuck her finger in the pie,
and sucked her finger all day long.
Then she ran away.
Another girl came and put her foot in it,
and then she ran away.
Then a girl giant took the rest of the pie
and then she ran away.
The End

"It sometimes happens, that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before; and, generally speaking, if there has been neither ill health nor anxiety, it is a time of life at which scarcely any charm is lost."- Persuasion by Jane Austen

I just turned twenty-nine a few weeks ago and was rereading Persuasion at the same time. To say the least, I liked this quote a lot. I've been think about life, what I've accomplished compared to what I want to accomplish in my life time and some days I'm satisfied and some days I'm not. But today, I'll just live in today- get what's on my list to get done done, play hide-and-seek with Lily Rose in the new curtains Corey hung up for me, and hope that the anxiety I've faced and the anxiety to come are not too much to fade what beauty I have, because that is most definitely the greatest deterrent to keeping my beauty of youth (although my diet could handle some changes :)). I'm not just meaning my physical beauty either. I mean my energy and blind faith too.

So, here's to pretending I'm a character in one of Jane Austen's books whose twenty-nine with her charm intact!
