It's a Talent
Sean: "Sadie, get off your sister."
Sean: "Sadie, get off your sister."
Sean: "Sadie, STOP BOTHERING your sister!!!"
Sadie: "I am not bothering my sister. I am bothering you!"
Sean: "Sadie, get off your sister."
Sean: "Sadie, STOP BOTHERING your sister!!!"
Sadie: "I am not bothering my sister. I am bothering you!"
Look Mom!
Sadie found a new way to earn her money. Chores are a thing of the past. The little fountains with the coins in them are much easier. Getting a little wet in the process is not a deterrent.
Kindergarten
My little Bethanie started Kindergarten today. I actually did better than I thought I would when it came time to leave her with her teacher. I did struggle last night when Sean was giving her a Father's blessing. Her short 6 years flew past my eyes.
I am dreading putting her on the school bus for the first time tomorrow and watching her drive away.
WHHAAAA!!!
Bethanie is a very thoughtful little girl. She is very helpful and very smart. Sadie and Brady both missed her this morning. You can see evidence of Sadie's feelings on this new stage in life on her face!

Oscar's Cousin
Sadie definitely suffered from a lack of sleep this last week. She had so much fun playing with her cousins, but by the end of the day she would be exhausted! A tired Sadie is a grumpy Sadie. A grumpy Sadie is not someone that anyone wants to be around.
I won't even go in to the details of our car ride from Rochester to the Seneca Lake camp. Let's just say that when we got to the camp, she spent an hour and a half in an empty walk in closet. I was so mad that I happily held the door shut for the entire time.
Some of the more embarrassing moments were when Uncle Eric told Sadie it was time for the family picture. She told him he wasn't his mother, so she didn't have to do what he said.
Aunt Katie told Sadie and Matthew that they shouldn't be playing around in our van. It wasn't safe. Once again Sadie let this adult know that she was not in her aunt's jurisdiction and to mind her own business. (Ok, I am paraphrasing.)
I wish I knew how to add the recording from my cell phone of one of her tantrums that she threw in the car on the way home. Screaming that would wake up the dead.
WHY won't this child take naps???
Here are a couple of pictures for posterity in case anyone needs proof. She is not actually possessed in the second picture.

So Much to Say!
We had such a great time this last week in NY. I thoroughly enjoyed *almost* every moment. (The long car rides were my favorite... sarcasm.)
Sean has such a great family and I am very blessed to have such great in-laws. Not everyone can say that!
We were also able to see some of our good friends from Rochester. After an hour at the children's museum with Jillian, Bethanie said, "I am having the time of my life!".
I have so many Sadie stories to share and a few for the other kids too! I will have to write those out separately as I have some time.
For now I will leave you all with pictures from the trip.

Oh, Cookie, Cookie, Cookie starts with C
Yesterday Sadie was in a seriously BAD MOOD! We went to see great grandma at the hospital. She is staying there while recovering from knee surgery.
Great Grandpa was trying to get Sadie to smile. Usually she is his little buddy and talks to him non-stop. She wouldn't say a word and she wouldn't take the scowl off of her face.
Great Grandpa knows Sadie pretty well. He gave her four Oreo cookies and 3 Lorna Doones.
She smiled...
After her tummy was nice and full of cookies she fell asleep on the drive home at 6pm. She woke up at 6:30 this morning. She is feeling very energetic and talkative this morning.
