Oh Meeps the annoying little brother always trying to be around Lulu and mess with her. This is him just staring at her like a creep while she eats.

Below that are some pics from family walk and the girls playing laser tag 🙂

Oh my little Too bear you are almost 7 and just lost your first top tooth and oooofffff it is all going too fast. You’re sitting next to me and talking to me right now as I type which you are basically doing all day b/c you are now a little chatterbox. You’re so flipping funny and smart.

We are currently reading The Wish Tree and just finished Sweep. We complained about the book Sweep the entire time we read it and how we will never take sissy’s recommendation for a book again b/c it was slow and boring. Then we finished it and both bawled crying at the end. Literally, we sobbed together.

You think you’re a teenager and last night you did “skincare” with a little headband before bed. I tried to video you but you caught me so I am just documenting the memory.

For Xmas you got everything from My little Ponies to makeup. You are a mix of 7 and 17 (thanks to your big sissies). You still call for me every morning with your Momma, Im awake, I miss you, I love you, and I want bubbbbbaaaaaa. I still come rushing down and sign you a morning song that goes something like this:

Good morning to my muff, my little muff a puff, hi ho the derry O, good morning to my muff. I love my little muff, she does her muffy stuff, hi ho the muffy low, I love my little muff.

Then I say something like this:

How’d you sleep guadaleep, howd you sloop guadaloop?

Yup, and we somehow think this is all normal. Anyways, I started this whole post because I wanted to remember something you say that gets me every time and I don’t want to forget in case one day you stop saying it. When you’re trying to ask “is that ok with you” you always say “does that mind with you?”. Ugh it melts me, and of course I reply, no that doesn’t mind with me. Eeeeek I adore you muffy pie!!!!

Twas the week before Xmas and the girls all hopped on the bus for a bit of gift gathering in Horta. I taught Sabs and Sissy how to use their debit card for the first time and now they are all set for this next “adult” step in life. Toobs got a massive hot chocolate with whip cream and Sissy and I split a mediocre apple pie with a side of paper that was apparently attached to it.

Also the bottom photos are from a diff bakery on a diff girls day that week where Toobs and Sissy struggled to eat the toughest pastel de nata. It rated very low on Toobs pastel de nata chart but luckily a few days later she had the yummiest one in Pico to make up for it.

All these photos were from back when Toobs had two front teeth (one hanging on for dear life)
