When few things bring you more joy in life than a flower you learn quickly how to properly enjoy them. We'd thought we'd share a few tips with you in case becoming a flower connoisseur (or something of the sort) is on the top of your "to do" list.
Pick 'em. Just like boogers...
The best spot for a flower is in your hair. This is best done by "fluffing" the flower up to your "hair" (or next to your ear if you don't have much hair) and saying "woo-u-woo-u" (as in that is SO pretty!).
The more the merrier. Keep on picking 'em.
Sometimes you just gotta take a taste and make sure you got a good one. Like I said, just like boogers...
Just in case you forgot, flowers go in your hair. ;)
Take time to smell 'em. This is best done by scrunching up your whole face and stuffing the flower in your nose, then let everyone around you take turns smelling your flower by stuffing it in their face over and over again. Gotta share a good thing.
Hold on tight. Don't let something good slip away from you because
it will bring you pure joy.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the black eye is not essential in the flower enjoying process.
I know kids get obsessed with things, but this flower obsession things is out of control! Let me give you a few examples:
-She goes through the ads in the mail the other day and out of all the things she could find in them she finds flowers on a picture of Miracle Gro in the Ace Hardware ad and is ecstatic about it . Seriously?!
-I literally can't take her in Michaels, JoAnn's, Home Depot, the Dollar Tree...anywhere with fake or real flowers because she yells out "eeeeeeessseeee" (her word for please, but said seriously like George of the Jungle when he is swinging through the trees) while signing please (rubbing her hand in circles around her tummy) the WHOLE time and everyone looks at me like I'm starving her to death because she is rubbing her tummy and screaming.
-She carries around petals that have fallen out of the fake flowers in her hair bows all day long in the fist of her hand, even when she is crawling, and lets out a shrill scream every time she remembers it is there and gets SO excited.
-I know I've said this before, but she can spot flowers from a mile away, even if they are tiny.
-She discovered the flower print on the shirt she is wearing in these pictures and dragged it around with her like she'd just won the lottery (they did have glitter on them and were pretty fancy, in her defense).
-I find her trying to get in her dresser drawer that houses all of her hair flowers and begging for a flower (remember the obnoxious "PLEASE" ritual described above? Repeat that here.) ALL day long.
The best part though? A silly flower, or any portion of a destroyed flower, can keep her occupied for the longest time. Simple pleasures.

So funny. Her room will be easy to decorate with her obsession with flowers, right??
Wait, so how did she get the black eye?
And congrats on the house! That's so exciting! Now, according to Debbie, you just have to paint and then it's time to move in. Yeah!!!
How cute! Girls will be girls and boys will be boys I guess. Oliver LOVES cars and choo choos. Driving with him is the best. "gree car ... boo car ... reh car"
