Kindergarten Crush

Yesterday we were getting in the car after dinner and Kristen says to me, "Mommy I want to marry the boy in the orange group!!" I very calmly (aaaahhhh!!!!) tried to figure out what child she was talking about and what was the orange group. I finally realized she was talking about a boy in her group at the harvest party at her school. I asked her why she wanted to marry him and she said, "Because he is just so HANDSOME!!!!!". Oh no! Is what I thought she is five and already is catching on! Oh the innocence! I asked her what his name was and she wasn't sure, so I very gently told her to find out his name and let me know. Love that she told me this and love that it was completely random and out of no where!!

Homecoming 2010

Well it's sad to see it has been a year since I wrote on here last. The craziest part is we have a 1 year old...so maybe it makes sense. Anyway.

I needed to write a few things down here! This past Friday night we went to the Homecoming game at Linfield. You see a few days before Kristen came home from school and said that a queen and king were coming to her school. She was so excited and I just couldn't figure out what queen and king she was talking about and then it hit me! The Homecoming queen and king were coming. Kristen was beyond excited to see the queen. So she drew her a beautiful picture to give to her after she was announced queen.

At the game we were just waiting for half-time so that we could see who the beautiful queen would be. We had already seen a few of the princesses and had taken pictures with them. So finally there we were at half-time and all the floats go by and then the princesses. Kristen was just in awe. The princesses made it out to the middle of the field and then they announced that the Homecoming queen was Karissa. As soon as it was announced who the queen was, Kristen ran as fast as she could to get her pictures and then took off like a bullet to the end of the field where the other princesses were coming off the field. She gave one picture to a princess and then I finally caught up to her and she looked at me worried and said, " Mommy I don't know which one she is!" I reassured her that the Queen was still on the field and it would be a few minutes before she came off the field. We waited patiently for the Queen and she finally made it off the field. Kristen went up to her with a huge smile on her face and handed her the envelope (which was a bill envelope with the see thru panel). Queen Karissa turned to her and was just as excited as Kristen. It was the sweetest thing. They hugged the Queen thanked Kristen so much and Kristen was just grinning ear to ear. It made Kristen's night! The best part was that Queen Karissa carried the envelope with Kristen' s beautiful picture in it around with her all night.
