Oh how they grow up so fast

We just received Lindsay's and Katie's latest school pictures and I had to share them. The two of them are growing up so fast. Lindsay seems to look so much older now that her bangs have begun to grow out. She's becoming my little social butterfly.

Lindsay seems to be growing a bit faster than Katie would like her to however. Recently we moved Allison downstairs to "the best room in the house" according to Todd and Lindsay couldn't get her out fast enough. We've told Lindsay it doesn't officially become her room until next year when we'll be ready to buy her a new bedroom set, but in the mean time it will serve as a play room, yet she has decided that's where her clothes will be and that is where she will do all of her "getting ready" in the mornings. This morning Lindsay of course went in to "her room", closing the door, and proceeded to get dressed for the day. After Lindsay's exit, Katie decided she needed to do the same thing but she was very quickly informed that that wasn't her bedroom and she needed to get dressed in her room. Of course Katie thought otherwise and quickly informed her sister, whilst fighting back tears, "That's not a bedroom! It's a playroom!" Lindsay said "No, it's my bedroom too!" Katie replied, "It is NOT a bedroom, there's no BED in it so it's just a room!"

And in case anyone is wondering what about pictures of Allison. There won't be any professional ones, as she chose to "forget" the packet last fall and we didn't get to order any. Although I plan to post a pic or two of her and her lovely new braces in her cool new hang out soon.
