Exhibit A: Ashlyn's Christmas List.
Found: On the floor in my Studio.
Reference: Items numbered 23, 24, 25 and 26.
Translation for those that don't read kid scratch:
23. hi-hels (as in shoes, hi-heels)
24. shoes (but NOT hi-heels, just shoes, ya know)
25. panys (underwear, non-specific)
26. fack money (aka. fake money)
anyone feeling the urge to contribute to my therapy fund, i gladly accept paypal. hahahaaaa. just kidding.
but seriously. would that not make your heart skip a beat? my not-even 7 year old is asking for hi-heels??? and immediately after, pannys (misspelled purposely), and FAKE MONEY!?? oh my word. i promise she's way more wholesome than it appears.
reality is, she loves to role-play and wear costumes and dress-up like a pretty princess. so i think i'm good. but for a minute there, i won't lie, i questioned my mothering abilities.
and just for my reference for when i go to scrapbook this list.....
1. a new doll (3 ft raggedy ann)
2. a big toy ball (like she used in OT therapy)
3. close (clothes)
4. it to be summer (gonna have a problem with this one)
5. 64 crans (crayola)
6. a cran sharpinner (to make them pointy again)
7. books
8. a shef hat (so she can be an official cook)
9. art to hight in my room (she wants art to hang on the wall)
10. 1000$ (uuuuuuuh. can this be on my list too!)
11. play-doh toys
12. blones (the latex things that float---balloons)
13. Whers Waldo book (ah, Waldo.)
14. Dora Kitchen Set
15. Kids Cook Book (HELP me out here.....any good titles you know of?)
16. earrigis (yes, her ears are pierced. since 10 months old)
17. whitbord (dry erase board, a HUGE one)
18. paint
19. piano cord
20. little tv
21. tom and jerny game (tom & jerry. don't think they make games?)
22. star for the Christmas tree
23. hi hels
24. shoes
25. panys
26. fack money
27. yo-yo ball (yeah, they're SO cool!)

ReplyDeleteAdorable-and the yo yo ball. I have got to get Target today!
ReplyDeleteAdorable.... I love reading letters to Santa from little ones.
ReplyDeleteLove that list. enjoy the child while you can. My 9 year old informed me that she was too big for toys and wants adult stuff like her 15 year old sister.
ReplyDeleteLove the Christmas list! Can't wait til Abby can write hers out :) And I'm so not surprised in her requests...she's a girly girl and tomboy all in one!
ReplyDeletethat is so adorable. i wish my little girl had such a variety...right now it is hannah Montannnnnaaaa...Ugh..LOL
ReplyDeleteI love keeping their letters to Santa, or I should say their lists for Santa. It tells you so much of what they were into at the time. I remember asking for high heels and makeup when I was little and I use neither now so it's all just temporary insanity hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThat yoyo ball is awesome.LOve the list my 3 yo made one and he cut pics out of catalogs of everything he wants. I love it and can't wait for him to give it up so I can add it to my scrapbook. It's so cute.

ReplyDeleteMeghan

ReplyDeleteI remember my youngest also asking for money. She meant pretend money.
The giveaway looks fab!! Pick me!
WOW! You better start saving your money now for all the other girly things she will ask for as she gets older! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThose sound like things a girl needs to survive(replace fake with real money though)! What a great list to work from, she is sure to get something she asked for.
ReplyDeleteI think she has a great list. I want 1000$ too. I hope my husband will come through for me....lol.
ReplyDeleteI love letters to Santa, I keep all my kids. It's fun to look back at them when they get older.

I save my daughter's Christmas lists too. Especially the ones where there are lots of misspellings because they're so cute!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh that is too funny. I hope you scrap that so she can look back and laugh when she is older.
ReplyDeleteMy dd has the Fairly odd Parents cookbook and it has some great easy kid recipes in it. Also check out the Betty Crocker Kids cookbook.
Love the list! What a great idea to scrapbook it!

Oh yeah! Pampered Chef Kids In The Kitchen Cookbook is the BOMB! It's a 1998 cookbook, but I googled it and found it on Ebay! Here's the link even..(I *HEART* THIS BOOK!)

What a fun list!!!! It also brought a few giggles...good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to nancy...very cool wreath!!
Can't wait to see who winds the ever so cool yo-yo ball. Thanks agin for doing all thes RAKS...so amazing!
Oh man. Kids crack me up! Well, until they get older - my teenagers lists aren't funny... they just hurt my wallet even reading them!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAshlyn's Christmas List is priceless. It's nice to see a girl wanting "play things" I don't think she asked for anything that needed batteries or a outlet. A couple of cookbooks you might want to check out...Pillsbury(kids)and Mom and Me. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the letter to Santa - priceless!
ReplyDeletelol, A yo-yo ball!! And sorry, but that Christmas list had be cracking up!
ReplyDeleteI saw a link for you on Stephanie Howell's blog. I LOVE that Fiskar's wreath, totally awesome. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteJess
Oh, my gosh! That list is hilarious!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is 6 and she talks about her boyfriends...my husband is already stressing about when she's older!
ReplyDeleteLook at all the items that came first! And really, what little girl doesn't want high heels? It is only after you have to wear a too small pair with panty-hose all day in the middle of summer that you NEVER want to see the torture devices again!
ReplyDeleteOnce I complete my mandatory AA meetings I will love playing with the Yo-Yo ball.
ReplyDeleteThis list is just classic! It's great you took a pic of it - so you can see years from now what her wish list looked like. At least Ashlyn included numbers on her list...my own DD's list is 2+ pgs long, and she even included prices (yes, she shops the Target and Walmart ads, just like mama. ;)
ReplyDeleteRan across your blog through Stephanie Howell's and I am loving it!! I told my hubby tonight that we are going to melt crayons and give as gifts to my twin's classmates. Thanks for such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's list is precious! I remember circling pictures of toys in the JC Penney catalog back in the 70's. I wish I still had them so I could see what I was into back then. Thanks for sharing.
uhu, pick me!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun prize! Would love to win :)
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog, and NO, you don't need therapy! Your blog is awesome, as is your talent. Thanks for generously sharing your 'bling'!! (mama needs a new yo-yo ball...)
ReplyDeletethat list is precious...you will so cherish this 10 years from now!
ReplyDeleteNot sure that the yo-yo ball is, but it looks like lots of fun. Only found your site today and went directly into my "my fav's"

This is a really elaborate wish list! These lists are definitely a keeper.
ReplyDeleteyour daughter's wish list is sweet. i got an awesome set of melissa & doug fake money at tjmaxx for $14.99.
ReplyDeletetjmaxx also has a kid's cook book with their own set of measuring cups, rolling pin, etc. $7.99 i've seen this at several tj's.
good luck with your shopping!
Kids say the darndest things. My 6 year has a similar type of list with weird items on it... besides a Nintendo DS,
ReplyDeleteshe wants a bottle of hot sauce for her dad, a pumpkin, a pack of colored construction paper - not the yucky yellow stuff, anything PINK!
Such fun scrapping memories this list will make. Thanks for the chance to win a prize.
Happy Holidays, Debbie
