Lizzie and Julie always make me smile. They're so stinkin cute its impossible to not smile around them. Granted, sometimes I have to suppress my smiles to discipline them. Deep down I am smiling inside though because even when they are very naughty little girls they are even more innocent to the core.
These girls are best friends and worst enemies. It changes every five minutes or so. But is you ask Lizzie who her best friend is she'll say, "Julie!" If you ask Julie she'll say, "Lizzie!" And for the most part its true. Being nice to your sister is our number one learning priority these days. I wasn't surprised at all to hear from an older 11 year old that Lizzie had stood up and prayed in front of the whole Primary to "Bless us to be nice to our sisters."
The girls consider each other to be their best friends but they each have a favorite cat that is their "baby." They dress them, bathe them, and put them down for naps.
We all had a lot of fun with these matching outfits. :)
Now, there is a special story behind Lizzie and her cat, Meow. Meow has been her favorite all her life until she left her at Target one day and when we went back to get her she had disappeared. She was heart broken. Until, this last month my Mom came to visit and we all went to the Puyallup fair. As we stopped by the Ty stuffed animal section we found Meow! She had visited the "beauty parlor" and was just as Lizzie remembered. She actually teared up when she saw her. The lady at the store informed us she had made a special trip back to her house that morning for this cat and that she was discontinued and one of a kind! Since then its been like Meow never left...for good or for bad. (Lets just say that Meow has a very high pitched voice and she talks alot.)
