Q&A #128

When is Kellsey's birthday? I'm not sure I have ever seen that.
Kellsey's birthday is November 6th, three days after Kameron's and two days after Kassidy's and my mom's. The first week of November is going to be jumpin' around here! :)

Where did you get the Alvin doll thing?
We actually found that at Toys R Us. They had all the chipmunks and the chipettes, though they were pretty wiped out when we were there a couple days before Christmas.

And, she got Fancy Nancy books?!! My Favorite!! I haven't heard anyone else mention her. I love the colorful outfits she wears, so she must be one of Kennedys favorites, huh?
Yes, Kennedy loves those books, she always says, "ooooh FANCY!" LOL

Kellsey seems to really enjoy everything, how is she doing?
She's doing pretty well... she's finding her place in the family and starting to feel more comfortable and testing her limits more. I think at first she was scared to do anything - good or bad - and now she's doing a little of both! haha She'll figure it all out in time though, I'm sure!

Yeah Freddie. Great news. He has been waiting a long time. Hope your friend has a blog.Since I have 2 children in our family from Freddie's country, I would love to follow along.
They do have a blog... you can click on Freddie's button in that post or find it right here.

Renee' I think Kennedy needs to learn to be excited about her gifts lol, she is such a doll and her excitment is contagious, loveit.
I know, right?! I love that she gets so excited about things! LOL

Kass is still playing w/LPS? Laurie said she's all done with Littlest Pet Shop and wants me to get rid of them! Geez, I just got them for her 2 Christmases ago! They grow up so fast!
WELL she SAYS she does... and remember my caption of "my mom said she would NOT buy this for me!"? LOL I said that because really, it just seems like she's outgrowing them and I rarely see her playing with them anymore, but I had no good ideas for her and she asked and asked and asked... we'll see if she actually plays with it now. She'd never tell me to get rid of them, she's a pack rat. I have to clean out her room when she's at school! LOL

Okay so I noticed grandma used the same wrapping paper at her house. How'd that happen ;)? Great pics. Sounds like everyone got just what they wanted. So are you thinking about Kennedy and Keeghan's birthday presents or birthday party in May?
LOL Well, I had a lot of paper here so I offered to wrap her gifts too. I figured we may as well not BOTH be up all night wrapping! :) I'm just thinking about their presents right now... I'll start thinking about parties later. I'm too tired to think about that right now! haha

Wonder what Kellsey is thinking you guys are going to do in January....she must think you guys totally rock now!
I know! We were just talking about that! She came to this country and everyone has lights on their houses and pretty trees up and TONS of presents... this place is about to get VERY boring! haha

Oh and still waiting on the pics of Franks and yours matching PJ's. LOL
Well... there's a pic of Frank in his here. I will have to get back to you on mine! LOL

YES! Frank in matching PJS! Renee, your photo is next. Next year I want matching His & Hers footy pjs ok?
I...uh...don't think I can do that. LOL

So do they ask you for your weight for your military id? That's a little too personal for me when you're not 10 ;).
LOL They just copied what was on my driver's license... which miraculously has not changed since I got my first license when I was 17! Wonder how THAT happened?! ;)

Perhaps she can know pass for legal age and have her first beer?!?...LOL
Ummmmm NO! LOL

Good for dad for taking pictures to document! Was he instructed to do this? ;)
Maaaaybe! LOL

Did you get her a super-cool new wallet to put her super-cool new ID card in?
WELL, I thought she was getting a new wallet WITH the purse, but it turned out to be a coin purse, so she'll have to get a wallet later... maybe she can buy one with her Claire's gift card! :)

Seriously Renee! I can see her in the exact same pose as the last picture in 5 more years. Won't that be fun??!!
"Fun" is relative. LOL
