The Story About a Princess

 This afternoon I stacked the dishes in the sink, ignored the crumb topped counters, let the slow cooker do it's thing, and played with the kids. While Joseph was napping Camilla excitedly came to me with the idea of creating a book. She asked for two sheets of paper and help with the stapler. 

She then drew out her title page and story and asked me for help with the words. Her title read "The Stooee Ubow U Prises". My mother heart smiled as she read the title to me. She really tried hard. After I helped her spell the words, she read the story to me.

My favorite was when she got to the end and said, "I know it looks like they're scared, but they're just kissing." Love those stick people with their puckered up lips. Her drawings still make me smile and I can't wait to look back at these pictures down the road. Another favorite line of hers today happened when I was upstairs and they were downstairs. They had just turned on a kids show and I heard Camilla in her hilarious, sarcastic tone say, "Well THAT'S going to haunt my dreams!" She's so funny and definitely made me smile today!
