Coraline, the movie


Jade has been obsessed with the movie Coraline lately. I think because it scares her a little bit but it's a really good movie, the stop animation is beyond belief and the characters are really different. Jade drew this picture for me today, and anyone familiar with the movie, will note the stitched closed mouth. FUNNY, she's processing because one of the main characters is a spider who makes dolls (and stitches the mouth and eyes), the interesting part of the movie is Coraline has two moms, that theme is not lost on me. I love the way kids think and process information.

Another funny story. We went to Michael's and they had their Halloween decorations out and there was this skeleton that talked when you clapped your hands. Jade was very interested, but scared at the same time. She asked Scott and I to clap our hands in front of the thing for about a half hour. Two days later, I took Jadie to Victoria's Secret (I wanted perfume). Jadie ran into the store in front of me and ran right to one of the "sexy" mannequins and clapped her hands, she turned to me and said "MA! She's not talkin' to me!!" I laughed my butt off! Got to LOVE kids!!

Happy Swirlie Princess


Jades cousin Moomoo works at Disney and bought her this Cinderella Dress. We'll it was a total hit!!! We couldn't get it off of her, it's a twirly, girlie dress full of glitter and crinoline (sp) so it's fluffy and fun for Jade to wear. The other picture is of Jade and her cousin Cakie, her "big sister", Cakie is the light of Jadies life and she talks about her all of the time. As you can see they are wearing matching dresses, bracelets and tattoo's - very important gear for 3 and 10 year olds!!
