4 kids-4cousins-4th of July!

The fourth was so rainy. We sat through rain at the parade, rain at fireworks and it was so cold our kids didn't even want to stand outside for a picture. (Of course, I made them because I think coordinating clothing just calls for a picture.) I'm not sure what the heck was the problem with the girls. They are never the problem for pictures. A couple middle boys, sure, but never the girls. Oh well. That's why at our house we call it G-I-R-L. Dramatic, sassy, temper tantrum, tears. We started when she was little because we didn't know how else to talk about it so she wouldn't hear. So we would just say g-i-r-l. It's pretty all-encompassing. Of course now she can spell :) Occasionally, we think she is starting to grow out of it. The spells don't come as fast and furious as they used to. Of course, now we have a little g-i-r-l growing into it!
