Pregnancy makes my butt look flat....seriously. I have always been on good terms with my rear, but I guess the extra weight around my waist and back make it look like I have a flat butt. Of course I don't work out quite as much as I used to and of as always, with age, things have "fallen". oh well. I now also have a rash on my stomach and boobs. I had it with Evi as well. It basically looks like a sunburn, and it itches like none other. With Evi, my mom threatened to quit going in public with me if I couldn't stop scratching my boobies!! This time it is even acting like a sunburn though, the skin is peeling this morning...I don't remember this from last time.

Evi is all about "helping" these days. I realize it all about growing up and being independent, but sometimes it's annoying because I could do it all so much faster if she just didn't care. So we have now put a stool in the kitchen because you shouldn't even attempt to make her anything without her help. Or you will have one very upset child, with gigantic crocodile tears. These 2 pix are of her enjoying the fruits of her labor after she helped me make cupcakes.

Did I tell you she met another Evangeline at Disney this holiday. She was an adult and Scott and I had just happen to hear her mother say her name. So Evangeline met Evangeline.

According to her teacher Miss Stephanie, Evi is a popular girl at school. Everyone wants to sit with her. (but of course!) I was surprised and asked if she was bossy at school, because she sure is at home. She said no...which is good, Scott & I were worried.

We recently gave Evi her first piece of gum. She loves it! So now I have another easy source of bribery, plus it should help on the airplane. She's noticed her ears a lot lately and sometimes it scares her. So hopefully this will help keep them clear. She's pretty good at not swallowing it and chewing it for a long time. She also had some Snickers bar for the first time the other day and quite enjoyed it as well.
We went to the zoo the other day and Evi took her little stroller and a babydoll. It was pretty cute watching her pick up the baby and point out the animals. Or hide her face, because apparently, Flower( the baby's name) is afraid of snakes.
Evi on the other hand is afraid of every noise and darkness, which I know is part of the age, but it gets very tiresome sometimes.
