Oh so fun!

Claire has been so cute lately doing things for her little sisters. She makes them forts, plays school, and comes up with great ideas. She sets up centers around the toy room for the girls to learn at. Math center, reading center, etc. It's adorable. The other day I heard her and Hallie playing in my room. Claire was asking Hallie math questions and if she missed them she had to do 5 push ups. SO FUNNY! 

As I am potty training Audrey she came up with the idea of Audrey being the line leader in order to get her to go to the bathroom. It worked like a charm! Audrey will go in a heart beat as soon as I utter the words, "Audrey, come be the line leader to the bathroom." Claire LOVES being a big sister and helps me when she doesn't even realize it. 

The other day after making a fort for the girls, I asked her to be my helper in the "Beauty Parlor." We dressed them up in skirts, painted toenails and fingernails (different colors of course), did hair with flowers and ribbons, put on necklaces and bracelets, a little makeup and....

rest assured, we did NOT forget the lip gloss.


After that we headed off to the Mexican Fiesta Ward Party. I love having girls.

Clair is such a sweetheart. I'm sure the girls will idolize their big sister for all her attentiveness. Such fun.

Does Claire want to visit California for a little while? I am hoping Adam will be as helpful when he is as old as she is.

Man I love that Claire. She really is such a good big sister and so smart.

As you were playing beauty parlor this week, no joke I was pretending to be a lion crawling around chasing Atticus...What a different world girls are.

Oh, I love Hallie's bangs. Very cute.
