Facebook

Lately, many of my facebook status' have been about Rubie. I wanted to copy them here so that I will remember them. They show a lot about who Rubie is at the age of 4 1/2 and I don't want to forget them....

Why yes, that is a Chino police badge tattoo on her arm. After 10 good days at school, this is what she chose out of the treasure box. Let's not bring up the fact that it took a month to get to 10 good days.


Rubie- "I colored on my face with marker because I don't want to be light brown, I want to be dark brown."
Mommy- "So, no star today, huh?"
Rubie- "nope."

Rubie: I was playing on the carpet again.
mommy: So, what happened?
Rubie: I didn't get to do my job.
mommy: What was your job?
Rubie: door monitor.
mommy: bummer. I thought you were gonna try harder today.
Rubie: mmmmmmm maybe next week.
mommy: so, I guess we aren't holding out much hope for tomorrow.

Rubie: I had a rough day today.
mommy: What happened?
Rubie: I was playing around on the carpet.
mommy: and then what happened?
Rubie: I didn't get no star.
mommy: And, apparently you missed that great lesson about double negatives. Did you get a note?
Rubie: I didn't get no note.
mommy: great.

Dear woman at ralphs (who was MAYBE 50), I am so happy that my daughter said hello to you. I am so sorry that she then said, "I said hi to to that old lady."

Dear Denny's customers (the one off of Baseline and the 15 fwy), I would like to apologize for the 4 1/2 year old having a loud, crying tantrum. She was with me. I would also like to apologize to the bus boy for the carrot bits falling out of her mouth (I'm sure you had to clean them up). Just be happy you weren't t...here for the car ride home. It wasn't much fun. love, Julie xoxo

Halloween Costume #2

In my opinion, Halloween is one of the best parts of childhood. I bought Rubie's costume (Wonder Woman) back in August. Yesterday, I found out that Rubie's preschool won't allow super hero costumes. I have been FORCED to go out and buy ANOTHER costume (how horrible). You can see that Rubie looks tortured by the very idea of having two costumes...



Now she has one for the party at school, and one to go trick or treating in. poor girl. And, yes, Pocahontas wore cowboy boots.

Hello Kitty, Bracelets, and Boots

What Rubie considers to be a good day.

some days...

...I pick out Rubie's clothes, and some days she picks out her own. Guess what kind of day it was today?

snap

That is one beautiful 4 1/2 year old...

Today, Rubie asked me to flat iron her hair...


She has been trying to snap for quite some time, and she has finally figured it out...

Right after these pictures were taken...

We went to the grocery store. Rubie said hello to a woman (who was MAYBE 50 years old), then she immediately turned around and said, "I said hi to the old lady."

It is a good thing she is so cute...
