Let me paint a picture for you...

Let me paint a picture for you of what life is like with my five year old. I swear I could write books about Noelle as funny as any Junie B. or Ramona Quimby books. Yesterday morning she was outside playing with friends and as I came down the stairs she said to them (their parents included) "Oh, no! Its my boring old mom!" Okay, even typing the statement makes me want to cry! I'm 29- that is not old and I know I spend my days doing housework, but I wouldn't consider myself boring! Anyways, fast-forward a few hours and Noelle and I are on our way to the craft store. Noelle is wearing royal blue (tight) stretch pants, a long-sleeved purple shirt that barely passes her bum with a kind of diagonal- cut and ruffle at the bottom, pink hello kitty rain boots and Corom's spider man full-head (tight) mask. It was so snug in fact that her little ears were pushed out. Here is where the true Noelle comes out- she has an ABBA obsession lately. She sang in the car, at the top of her lungs "Take a chance on me" like 10 times! "PLAY IT AGAIN MOM!" The funny thing is that through my rear view mirror I could only see a spider man singing ABBA with a great big smile! This child is so imaginative and creative. I must admit that having a child like this is exhausting, but I wouldn't trade her for the world!
