Claire's Preschool Program

This is the :12 version. If you want the 5:00 version, email me and I will send it to you. =) You are either very bored, need a good laugh, or love Claire very much!

Ellis is pretty smart, too!


Ellie is reclining on a bag of trash (I think), reading a book. So what that it's upside down and only the jacket of the book. She stayed like that for the longest time. Ellie is very content, most of the time, to just hang out.

Proof of Claire's Intelligence...or Ingenuity

When I am working in my office, I put up two gates so that the girls are confined to one room of the house (right outside my office). Claire figured out that if she drops a toy bucket on the other side of gate, she can use a chair to simply step over the gate. Pretty smart, huh?

My Little Butterfly


This is one of my favorite pictures of Ellie. The butterfly wings bring out her big, blue eyes. No story, just a great picture.

Every 3-year-old does it at some point....

The date: 3 weeks before Claire is the Flower Girl in Bree and Dan's wedding.

The scene: I am sitting at my desk, working.

I hear John yell from upstairs, "Where did all this hair come from?"

Yep. Claire was Mommy's big helper and cut her bangs...with the trimming scissors. Just like Mommy does...kind of.

Oh yeah, and she cut her sister's bangs too. I am amazed that she didn't cut anything else off. Those are sharp scissors! I am also amazed that Ellie stood still long enough for Claire to do it.

And her preschool teacher said she needed to work on her cutting skills...right.
