Name Calling

I know they look like best friends. They are. But also, too often, worst enemies. I suppose it comes with the 3-kids-so-close-in-age territory.

Lately, their choice words when offended by each other are "You big rat!".
And it is the ultimate insult.

Before this name calling gets any worse, I am going to have to start administering vinegar on those dirty little tongues.

The girls loved their year at Grace Ballet where character is taught through dance.

Observation: tutus have a way of making them look so childlike and innocent.

Inspired to take this quiz via Rachel's blog.

I'd have to agree with the description, but not the photos so much.
I like more color & more white than this.
Also, I lean towards 'American farmhouse' more than a 'muti cultural 'style.
That was fun! Go see what you come up with.
