Matisyn

Matisyn pulled a "Matisyn" stunt the other day.  Because of a series of events, starting with we were already late to music, Matisyn was supposed to follow directions and go to the bathroom, get her shoes on, and get in the car.  Getting her out the door can often take an incredible amount of time.  In the meantime, Emilyn had a poopy diaper, so I was distracted taking care of that.  When I went outside Matisyn still wasn't in the car; she was around the front picking flowers.  She got herself in the car after I honked at her!  I ran in and dropped Emilyn off at Lacey's house and when we got to music I pulled Matisyn behind me running to get inside so we weren't any later.  At this point I still hadn't noticed anything.  Then she got up to get an instrument, and as she bent over I saw that she had on NO PANTS!  Matisyn decided that wearing shorts were getting in the way.  Everyone else in the class started laughing when I blurted out, "where are your pants?".  They said things like we just thought it was a really short dress, or I thought she was wearing a swimsuit.  I was so embarrassed that I hadn't noticed.  We just continued with class because we were already there, and I didn't have anything in the car to save us.  When we were almost ready to go and the class was quiet Matisyn yelled, "You know Mom, you really should have remembered to bring my pants!"

It was quiet for way too long, so I went looking for Matisyn.  I found her asleep in her little chair in the basement, cuddled up with her animals and a blanket.  So precious!

Above are Matisyn's 4 year old pictures, taken a couple of months ago.  I realized I never scanned them before I put them in frames so I just snapped some quick pictures to show them off.  She was full of personality, hamming up the camera, as always, so it was pretty hard to choose.  We also did a little session with both girls, and were lucky enough to get a few really cute ones of them together.

 I had mentioned how excited Matisyn was for her Teddy Bear Picnic at her last day of summer preschool.  I snapped a picture of her with her bear and lunch box ready.  She had a great time, and was exhausted when I picked her up.  Just a note, because I didn't think about it, four year olds do not know lunch box etiquette since carrying their lunch is new.  Matisyn stuck her peanut butter and jelly sandwich back in smooched all over, and to top it off left her yogurt drink half full open in her bag to slosh all over and make a disgusting mess.  Plus all she really ate were her fruit snacks, which how surprised can I be about that?!!!  She had fun though!

Here's a good one, just because it shows Matisyn in all her fashion glory!  Her hooded towel is on underneath the lion, which means she's getting married, according to her.  I'm not sure what she needs the lion or laptop for, but she is definitely a runaway bride on that horse!
