As an update to last nights' post...BOO KEY HAS BEEN FOUND!
David found it last night in a room in the basement which has been in shambles for awhile. Baby and toddler clothes strewn about, sheets, quilts, etc. I had peeked in there yesterday but overlooked it.
I am still not convinced that Boo Key didn't slither down the stairs into the depths of the basement of its' own accord simply for some R & R.
We're not asking questions, however, we are just welcoming it home with open arms. Tiny little 3 year old arms.

Violet Beauregarde
This is going to be Reese's new nickname.
She chewed the same piece of gum for 12 hours today!
And it was a Super Bubble to boot. Which lose their flavor in about 4 minutes.
I knew she popped a piece in her mouth a little after 9am after she got dressed this morning. And I saw a piece of gum on her plate at lunch and again at supper. But I didn't think too much about it.
My kids all love to chew gum. Tate's piece usually falls out of his mouth fairly soon after he starts chewing it. Or I make him throw it away because he keeps pulling it out of his mouth with his grubby little hands.
Drue will chew a piece for awhile, but I think she gets bored with it easily and spits it out.
So I was quite surprised when I noticed Reese chewing gum during our movie tonight at almost 9pm. I jokingly asked her if that was the same piece she had put in this morning and she nodded.
I made David discard it as he carried her sleepy self up to bed. If she had been more awake, she may have lobbied to put it on her bedpost.

More Hair Drama
I have been doing countless ponytails, braids, "pony braids" (which are ponytails made into braids) on the girls all summer long! Which, I realize, only technically began a week ago...but when you have kids in school "summer" begins on their last day of the year.
When I'm getting the girls ready to go somewhere nice, I like to have their hair in curls, rather than haphazardly thrown together in one of the aforementioned styles.
Reese knows this.
But she is forever trying to get out of it and sneakily talk me into doing any hairstyle except curls on her.
Yesterday morning as we were running around like mad fools trying to get ready for church, she came and found me with her comb in hand and inquired about her hair in a hopeful tone, "Ponies?".
"Nope".
"Braids?".
"Nope".
"Pony braids?".
"Nope".
"Straight hair?".
"Nope...Curls!"
Which she responded to in mock desperation, "Not this curse upon me!".

MISSING
Name: "Boo Key"
Age: 3 years
Last seen: Saturday, June 27th 9:30am
Description: 3 feet by 2 feet, soft, blue, silky edge
If found please return to Tate L. Hollaway, distraught owner.
It is feared Boo Key may have wandered off in protest. You would too if you were dragged hither and yon, through dirt and grime, sat on, stepped on, and clutched tightly throughout the night. Oh, and were also used to slap 2 little curly headed girls whenever it struck your owners' fancy.
We miss you Boo Key. Please come home to us and be reunited with your best friend.

Sister Against Sister
Last night was the BIG night in the girls' T Ball season. Their teams played against each other. There was no competitive streak to worry about, however. There were a lot of hugs and high fives during the game though. Which was sweet to watch and elicited many Awwwwwwwww's from the bleachers.
We cheered wildly for both sides of course. And ran the girls' bat back and forth between dugouts. We also ran hydration to both dugouts thanks to the sweltering 100 degree temperature.
This was the end of the game where both teams line up to tell each other "good job" or "good game". I snapped the camera just as Reese and Drue got to each other but you can't see much of Drue...just her socks.
