Oh girl!

There truly is never a dull moment around this girl. I love everything about her. Everything from how helpful she wants to be.....even how organized she wants to be, her new thing is to organize the silverware in the dishwasher while I am doing dishes. Who knew the spoons would only get clean if they are washed next to other spoons....?! She is still very much our girly girl, BUT she doesn't mind working or getting dirty either.....just refuses to STAY dirty for long.

Steven was building us a storage shed beside our house (Love my handy man) and she was 'helping' him by raking up leaves and trash and putting it in the wheel barrow. She ended up filling it all by herself....and it kept her out of harms way too (aka Daddy's high powered tools).

I get told all the time that I dress her SO cute. I can truly still say we just provide the clothing. She has her own style and opinion and no fear of making her opinion known. She LOVES to change clothes for no real reason. She wore this dress to school that day with shorts and sandals, then she came home and saw some boots we'd ordered her so she disappeared into her closet and came out wearing this.....

And, a few minutes later she informed me she wasn't a cowgirl anymore....now she was a tap dancing princess. Dull moments?! Not in this household!

I think if her outfit looks "too plain" for her she will add something to it to make herself "stylish"....case in point.

We went to a store this past weekend to spend some coupon money on her sweet Daddy, but instead he found these shoes for Brooke. She LOVES them because Daddy picked them out, they are colorful and they have a high heel.....oh boy. She was acting like it was tough to get them on.....

And, I took this picture because when I came in from unloading the truck she had the nail polish all set out for me to paint her toes and fingernails so they would MATCH her new shoes and of course the colors had to be in the same order.

This morning she asked to wear a pretty fancy dress to school. My motto right now is to let her wear pretty much whatever she wants as long as it falls in with school guidelines and is weather appropriate because she outgrows stuff so fast, we might as well get use out of it! She put the dress on, walked out to look in the mirror and said "Aw Man!" I asked her what was wrong and she said "This dress got way shorter!" I had to remind her that the dress didn't change at all, but her legs can't seem to stop growing. She said "Momma, I have tried to stop growing so fast like you and Granny asked me to but I just can't do it!"
