How to Be a Good Big Sister

Hi everyone :)

In the last post I didn't mention how Lena said that I lied to her about taking her to the mall during my school break. I said I thought I'd have my car during break...it was fixed right before school started...but I said how about we can go to the mall tomorrow for a little bit. I had things to return, plus my mom gave me a bunch, and at the same time I can take you. I decided to include Victor. 

When Lena heard that Victor was going she was not happy, but that lasted only a little while.

We went to Marketplace because Lena wanted Justice and I had returns for stores there.

I told Victor to move closer for the picture...he moved too close and I said no Victor sit farther. He responded with I want to look taller in the picture. He already is taller than Lena but that wouldn't have crossed my mind that he would want that for a picture.

I bought Lena this cute thing at Justice for her. It looks cuter in person.

Poor Victor just wandered around with us. Later I bought him candy-that's all he wanted!.

I bought Leah a light coat from Gap and shoes. I came and asked her if she loved me. She had no choice but to say yes. She was silent and then slowly nodded her head. My mom said to give me a hug because I bought her "pretty princess clothes" as Leah likes to call but she refused. Later when she was getting ready for church she ran in to show me her clothes. I got a hug out of her then. She said, "lets go show Daddy how much I love you" and she squeezed me tight.

At church though, when I went to pick her up she said screamed, "put me down, put me down" and now at home no love towards me whatsoever. Andrew on the other hand ran in my room today brought me a candy and before leaving asked me, "Lesya did I forget something?" I said no. He ran back and hugged me and smiled and said, "I did. I forgot to hug you." Sweetest boy ever. I totally forgot to get him something at the mall and he said it's okay, I still love Lesya. He did say I have to take him to buy a toy. 

Finally and most importantly today is my Mom's birthday!!!! She is 43 years old now! I'm soo blessed to have a mom I can call my best friend. No words can describe what my mom means to me.  When I don't see her all day, I come home and we sit talking and talking about our days, as if we haven't seen each other all week. Not a day goes by without me calling her if I'm not home all day. She too, calls if I happened not to call just to talk if I have a free minute. She admits that when I'm at one of my aunt's houses she gets a tad bit jealous. She also said that when I was younger she rested when I slept over someone's house because I talked so much! I think because I don't have a sister my age my mom and I are very close. Just a glimpse into how things are between us...anyway I got her perfume and flowers today :)

Hopefully tomorrow I will post a recipe I have been meaning to post for a looonng time now during one of my study breaks! And oh how I don't look forward to doing homework all day long tomorrow...

Blessings,

Lesya
