So adorable! Sean & G reading Little Mermaid, Ariel gets married & sails off. G about King Triton: "He's sad." Sean: tries to explain the situation. G: "But I love you, I would come visit you." Oh, my darling daughter has such a big heart. I fear the day when someone will take advantage of it.

"Daddy's not a Prince."

I was looking some blogs of people I know/stalk. One is of a very stylish woman that tweets and made a book of the most memorable quotes of her middle child. Very cute. One of those things that I was super jealous of bc I wish I would have thought of it first.

At the moment G's most memorable and cute quote that I can remember is "I want to marry Daddy. But Daddy's not a prince." And her face was so serious!

I'm glad she's setting her standards high. :)

Finally!

Finally! My UW online status is updated for all required paperwork - RECIEVED! They can't turn back now and tell me that they made a mistake and told me that they had recieved it when they actually didn't! Now to wait it out until I find out whether I got in or not.
