I think my mind is starting to kick into school mode and substance is what is calling for. I need to get back to reading more, having grown up talk :), and more. HEEHEHEHE... oh no, I am having a moment. lol So, anyone, anyone start a subject. I can't even think of one... lol
Ok... here is something:
Something that champs my hide is that they don't make "Talls" for children. Hannah has such long legs that the size around the waist doesn't match the length she needs. I try slims, the pants with the adjustable waist, everything and they just don't work. She is a 6 to 7 waist and a 10 length, you could fit two of her in those pants that fit her length wise!! So now she has a great collection of belts, but not always does she like to wear them ( I cant say that I blame her!), plus they are so baggy in the legs. So I am calling on all children's clothes manufactured to consider, strike that, to make talls!! I think I have this frustration every time I go clothes shopping, so please, excuse me and my frustration!! :)

I have the same problem with Elizabeth. She is not that tall, but she is longer in the legs than what fits her in the waist.
What I'm reading...I just started The Hobbit, which I've never read before. Sad for a bibliophile like myself!
I have the same problem with my older daughter. I found that the pants at Aeropostle work the best (and they are ALWAYS on sale)! We buy 00. Can you believe that they even make that size? But they are PERFECT and cute. (And not too 'girly', as my daughter would say.)
Book... I just finished the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Great book! This will be on my daughters' list for this year. My favorite book is Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. Great story!!! (Not for kids. It is a great Lady read.)
I've just started Memed, My Hawk by Yashar Kemal a Turkish writer. It is translated from "the" Turkish. It is too early to tell If I am going to like it. It starts off with a boy, Memed running away from home through a field of thistles...ouch!
My girls and I never ever had the problem you described. Still, I do sympathize, from way down here. ha
I'm reading, and almost finished with The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. I think I'm the last in my family to read it, but I am loving it.
THE ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS is one of my favorite books, Christina, children or otherwise! Windy, has Hannah read it yet? She must. Better yet, read it together. I think it would be just the book for her -- a girl that uses her wits to stay alive and lots of animals in it. Seems like a perfect fit for her to me.
