Precious Painter Moments- Part 1

I may have started blogging in August but I have been documenting things since March of this year. I titled it Precious Painter Moments and since I started this blog I've not added anything to it. I have printed out these for the girls to have in their scrapbooks but I would like to share them in groups on here because I have so many I will post them with the day, date and year of when I wrote them. I have been big from day one of having Clarissa to take pictures all the time and then as the girls got older my mom gave me the idea to start writing some of these moments down so that I would never forget them. I know that some of this might come across as bragging about my kids but this is truly not meant to be taken that way. I just was documenting different things that I felt where important to remember and look back on. Not everything is going to be posted but SEVERAL of the things I wrote will be. I hope you enjoy our Precious Painter Moments. This has 3 parts to it.

Monday March 12, 2010~ Today at 7:45am while on the way home from taking Clarissa to Gingerbread Pre School Kimberly (2 Years) started to tell me what ways to turn to get home. She would either say right, left, or strait. We got home and I couldn’t believe what a good job she did! I’m so proud of her.

Friday April 16, 2010~ HAPPY 3^rd BIRTHDAY KIMBERLY! Today you enjoyed your special day with two parties and a trip to the Doctor. You enjoyed your party with family. You enjoyed your special cake that daddy baked and mommy decorated. You wanted sprinkles and 3 candles. I added a crown because you REALLY wanted to wear one. You ate your cake and ice cream and then opened presents. When asked what we should have for dinner you asked for a hamburger, french fries, AND broccoli. You got lots of neat things and you always said thank you to the person who gave you the gift. Now that you’re 3 you are very proud to tell EVERYONE you meet that your name is Kimberly and your 3 years old.

Wednesday May 5, 2010~ Clarissa was playing and ran up to me and told me Mom you’re amazing I love you so much. Thank you for loving me. WHAT A PRECIOUS moment that was. I gave her a hug and told her don’t forget this moment EVER she smiled and said I won’t. I'm happy to say that I won't forget this moment either!

Friday May 7, 2010~ We have Remington today and for the weekend. I was a little tired so while the girls were eating breakfast I decided to rest for about 5min. In that time Clarissa felt that Remington would like it if she shared her Apple Jacks. I walked into the kitchen and Remi had yet to eat it but I thought it was sweet that Clare didn’t want him to be left out!

Side note- I didn't get a picture of this but I remember it like yesterday!

Friday May 7, 2010~ Today my niece was visiting and I took all three girls swimming while Quentin was golfing with his dad and Charlie. Before swimming I thought it would be fun to take all three girls to McDonalds to get a happy meal and a TOY! The girls ate up all their food and were ready to get swimming. WE HAD A BLAST! We got home and the girls wanted to play with their Barbie happy meal toys. I smiled and got out the three toys. Clare and Alina both got a Barbie toy but Kimberly got a book. She was crushed and was crying that she wanted her Barbie. She even said please mommy I would like my Barbie too. After 15 min of trying to explain to Kimberly they gave her a different toy Clarissa handed Kimmy her toy and said here Kimberly I’m not playing with mine right now. They hugged each other for about a min and Kimberly said thank you Clarissa I love you. Clare giggled and said I love you too sis. Clarissa was so proud of herself and I told her how proud I was of her too. That was such a big girl move for a 4 almost 5 year old.

Thursday May 13, 2010~ I was down stairs doing laundry and the girls love helping me. I try to make sure they put their shoes on because its quite dirty in the basement. Kimberly came down and says “Mommy Barney is over. May I have a nap time kiss please?” I smiled and kissed her. She helped me with the putting the rest of the cloths into the dryer and then we headed up stairs. She quickly ran to the bath room and went potty. She got her M&M and then she headed off to bed. She got all tucked in and then looked at me with her beautiful blue eyes and said “ Thank you mommy I love you so much.” She then giggled when I hugged her and read her a quick story.

Clarissa has also been doing some big girl things. She has been telling stories to me. She loves to make up songs and stories. I hope to start writing her stories down but it seems like every time she tells one I have nothing to write them down on. Hopefully soon I will get a chance to. She enjoys getting coins for helping me around the house. She puts them in her piggy bank and talks about what she’s saving her money for. Lately she’s been wanting a sandbox and a puppy. We will have to see about that puppy.

UPDATE ON FAVORITES!

Clarissa- She loves drawing pictures with markers (washable) and painting. Her favorite color is pink and her favorite sport is soccer and swimming. Her favorite thing to do with dad is airplane and her favorite thing to do with mommy is play games (guess who, puzzles, memory, candy land, and some card games) She loves being read to and is ready to start learning to read. Her birthday wish is a backpack with wheel’s and a baby bed for her baby doll.

Kimberly- She loves playing dress up and putting on make up. She always has her finger nails, or toes painted usually both are done but her nail polish comes off allot quicker. She loves helping mommy and daddy around the house. She’s also a very good girl when it comes to waiting her turn and helping other kids. She’s 100% problem solver not a problem maker. Her favorite thing to do with daddy and mommy is cuddle and read books. She’s a goofy girl and always knows how to make you laugh. Her birthday wish was the Tinkerbelle Movie (she got it) Her favorite color is purple and she loves wearing polka dots!

Thursday May 13, 2010~ continued~ Today we headed to Sam’s Club and Target to get a few things. We hardly EVER take the girls to Sam’s Club we usually only go to Target, The Mall, or Kohl’s. While pulling out of the Sam’s Club parking lot Kimberly looks out her window and says Mommy look its Wal-Mart. Quentin and I look at each other and we are both puzzled on how she would know that was Wal-Mart. So I asked her how do you know if that’s Wal-Mart Kimberly? She simply stated with a big grin “Mommy because it says it right there see?” I nodded my head and said yes it does say Wal-Mart. I still don’t know how she knew it was Wal-Mart but hey she’s a smart girl.
