Here we are!

Hey, I finally figured out how to work this stupid computer:) I hope to not bore everyone too much!!
Gentry, being 5 years old and couped up in the house all day is bouncing off the walls! She needs a playmate. It is November, cold outside and supposed to snow tomorrow. Maybe she will get to play in it. That would make her day!
Being the stinker that she is, after I trimmed her hair the other day (it was so long she was sitting on it) she decided that it would be fun to cut some more off with the school scissors!!!! She now has hair to her fanny in the back and just past her shoulders in the front!!! Atleast she cut it the same on both sides! I didn't think school scissors were that sharp?!
Yesterday she said to myself and Grandpa,"Everyone close your eyes so I can do magic!"
We snickered and closed our eyes. She said,"I'll count, one, two, three." She is moving around the room as she counts. "Four, five, six." She is moving down the hall. "Seven, eight nine." She is in her room. We are giggling now. I open my eyes just enough to see her monitor. It is in her room and lit up like a christmas tree. "Ten, eleven, twelve." She now sounds muffled. "Ok, you can open your eyes," she yells. Grandpa and I are laughing. I say, "Where did Gentry go?" She says, "I'm invisible." Grandpa says, "You're invisible in your closet?" We are laughing so hard we can barely talk. She says, "No, I just went invisible. It's magic, see?"
How cute and innocent for a little monster child! The light of our lives!

Prime example of classic Gentry tattletailing on her self: "Grandma, can I eat the other half of my donut now?" "No, we are going to eat dinner in a few minutes." Five minutes later,"Grandma, guess what." "What?" "I just ate my other half of my donut." She is beaming. "What? I just told you not to. Why did you do that?" "Cause I wanted to."
This is what I deal with on a daily basis. Atleast I don't have to catch her doing what she isn't supposed to. She just tells on herself instead:)

  1. Well, at least she's not lying about it after the fact. Just sneaking. Hopefully this phase will pass quickly. She's probably testing you to see what she can get away with!! I'm so excited you started a blog!!!! Yay!
