Zip it Evelyn!

Lately Evelyn has taken to talking all the time! Or at least making some sort of noise constantly. Laughing, roaring, grunting, talking, giggling, ohh's, ahh's...you name it. This makes it very hard to talk to her when she is always talking too! So, when I needed to get something across to her the other night I decided to start off my conversation by telling Evelyn to "zip it". She immediately zipped her mouth and was ready for me to talk. I started to tell her that I wanted her to sit up at the table and eat her dinner. To which she responded..."how am I gonna eat with my mouth zipped?"

Smartie!

Evelyn's Red Room

The weeks have quickly passed since we moved into the new house. Cannot believe it has been a month now that we have been living there. About time for me to blog about Evelyn's Red Room!


Months before the house was even ready to be painted, Evelyn stated she wanted a red room. She also asked for her bathroom (which is actually the main bath) to be painted purple. While selecting colors at the store, Evelyn was with us, so we showed her several colors and let her pick. At first she selected the color called "Mickey's Pants" from the Behr Disney color collection. Everyone knows Mickey's pants are a brilliant bright red. Evelyn also selected a lavender color for the bathroom called "Glass Slipper" from the same Disney collection. While still looking at red paint colors, Evelyn changed her mind and selected a different red color name. If you ask me, it still should be called "Mickey's pants". Very Red. Very nice though.
