There Was a Little Girl

THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL



There was a little girl,

 And she had a little curl

Right in the middle of her forehead.


When she was good


She was very, very good,


And when she was bad she was horrid.


One day she went upstairs,


When her parents, unawares,


In the kitchen were occupied with meals,


And she stood upon her head


In her little trundle-bed,


And then began hooraying with her heels.


Her mother heard the noise,


And she thought it was the boys


A-playing at a combat in the attic;


But when she climbed the stair,


And found Jemima there,


She took and she did spank her most emphatic.

Happy Birthday Katelee

Katelee celebrated her 3rd birthday this week.  She managed to snag a chocolate cake -- complete with candles -- and some good gifts.  We had a good dinner at the neighbors Friday night, so the girls got to play with some other kids.  Then, on Saturday, we made the trek to Lubbock to partake in Chuck E Cheese festivities.  The girls had a blast.  Then, we checked into a hotel and swam for awhile.  To top off the evening, we got decked out in our Mizzou gear and braved the Red Raider football fans.  Evidently, we were good luck for the Tigers.  They were winning when we left the game at half-time, but they ended up losing.  The girls didn't really care since they got to meet Truman the Tiger!
