The Karrens

I thought it was time to write down a few funny things the kids have been saying and doing:

Oliver:

-"Go Happy" (this is what he says if he is in trouble or wants you to be happy with him, it is accompanied by a cheesy squishy smile, and pushing your face into a smile.

-The boyscouts where at the church, and held the door open for us, to which Oliver exclaimed "Thank you cowboys!"

-We were taking Izzie and Allie's little friend, Virginia, to her house. Oliver kept yelling "California!" which I thought was weird, but he has been asking to go to the beach a lot lately. But after we dropped her off, he said in a defeated sad voice, "Oh, California". I said, oh, do you mean, Virginia? And he said "ya, Girginia." I guess it is smart he knew they were both states. Although, I don't think California is a very popular name for a little girl :)



Isabelle:

Isabelle has been adding soundtrack to our lives lately.

-I was hugging Allie, and Izzie walked in a broke in to a slow, dramatic version of "Over the Rainbow" before bursting into laughter.

-Oliver has an obsession with his little pumpkin, he gives it a bath, and plays catch with it (which is really him just chucking it to the other side of the room) Izzie thought is was funny that he treated it like a little friend...so she starts out "I wanna know what love is...I want you to show me ..." She thinks she is pretty funny.



Alexandra:

Allie has become quite the fashionista lately...she won't leave the house without a major put together outfit...usually knee high boots or flats, hair done with flowers or bows, matching earrings, and jacket. She likes dark colors and lace and boots... She really loves my big hoop earrings, so one evening I put them in her ears while she was doing homework.

She had to accessorize the rest of the outfit of course. I told her she could leave them in while she finished her homework. She was writing her spelling words, and said in a quiet voice, "Mom,"....yes..."these earrings make me feel powerful."
