oh my dear sister.


roughly translated: "emma screaming. that is me."

we went through a harriet the spy phase when we were six.
the other day i found emma's "PRIVATE NOTEBOOK."

this is one of the gems inside that set me laughing till tears were comin' out of my eyes.

i sure don't remember her being this crazed all the time.
i mean, for heaven's sakes, have you ever MET emma? she basically doesn't ever get angry or sad.

(i've always liked the way emma draws.)

a toast! to emma, and the tormented secrets of her six-year-old self.

This is funny!
But I beg to differ on an issue...you used to get very upset with Emma if she colored in her animals with "wrong" colors. For instance the one I always remember is Em coloring her bunny purple. t bothered you to no end....:)You, my little realist, wanted that bunny to be brown...

Oh, Emma.

We never knew you were screaming inside. ;)

I especially love the scribbled out version.

annie i kept that first shot on my blog cause i thought to myself 'annie would keep this.' i was very close to deleting it cause there weren't crisp and clean lines.

i was trying to channel you the whole day. '..if i were annie..."

ps. this blog made me laugh out loud and then read the whole thing to brae. ah!
