Lately with Eve

First of all, I love that Eve is learning how to write.  This adds a new element to our family that is so much fun!  Here are a few of the notes she has recently left laying around the house.

"Eve is closing at 6" -- a sign for her Doc McStuffins Clinic and her store


 "Do it for Eve" -- to her dad, in response to her asking him to play a card game with her



She started trying to write Coleman at the bottom, but got frustrated and left him off :)



"Dad and mom, I am happy of you.  Mom and Dad." 



"Mom.  I am mad at you." -- To be honest,  I cannot remember what I did to make her mad.  


"Clara did.  Eve is sad."  This requires a story.  
Mimi came by the house one Wednesday during nap time and brought Eve her very own notebook with a cupcake on the front. It was a HUGE hit with Eve, and she was SUPER excited about it.  Once the little kids woke up, life got back to busy as usual and we moved on with dinner and baths and jammies before piling in the van headed to church.  Eve was distraught when she discovered that one of the kids had grabbed a pen and decorated the front of Eve's cupcake journal with "scribble scrabble".  She was determined to do an investigation and asked each of the kids a series of questions until she had narrowed it down.  I worked hard scrubbing the pen marks off with a wet wipe, and when I finished and got everyone loaded up in the van, Eve approached me with this note.  It was her verdict.  Have I mentioned how much Eric and I love this kid??      



This is a picture of me that Eve made out of her and dad's memory game.  She's creative!



Eve -- you are such a fun, funny, and full of life girl!  We LOVE having you as part of our family.  

 These are Mimi's glasses.  Poppa popped the lenses out for you and you wear them ALL THE TIME. Just today, we were at Publix, and while I was waiting to check out, I looked at you and laughed because I hadn't noticed that you had been wearing them all throughout the store.  And I thought people were just smiling at us because I was a crazy mama that brought all of her kids to the grocery store!
