sugar

don't you just LURVE 7 year old teeth?

today Miss O invited me to paint her nails.



with 3 daughters one must keep a "two-year-food-storage" size supply of nail polish in the house. (among other things)


to begin with, we had to remove the old nail polish. or what we lovingly refer to as "nail pollies" around here.


i had the honor of removing yellow with black dots, resembling 10 small bumblebees on the ends of each of her fingers.


we were moving on to a shade of blue. (thank goodness)


i poured some nail polish remover (extra strength) on a cotton ball to begin the removal process.


Olivia looked at me, and in all seriousness declared, "mom i always used to think that clouds were just like these cotton balls, but now that i'm 7 i know they're not really."


me, waiting for further enlightenment.
(cuz 7 year olds know a lot!--take it from a 7 year old.)


"now i know that they are REALLY like giant sugar crystals in the sky."


isn't that sweet?
just like sugar....and just like her.
sometimes i STILL just want to gobble her up.
