Help me!!!

Yes, Savannah is cute and funny, but she is going to be the death of me!!! She is the queen of "no", using all the tape in the house and shouting for no reason.
If we make it to her fourth birthday, let alone her wedding day, it will be a miracle!
But, she does something funny and "abracadabra!", I forget that she's a pain in the butt. I can't stay mad for long when her Dad comes home and does "spider hair". A lifetime ago we went to Lake Powell (at least it feels that way). Of course, Savannah loved it. She couldn't get enough of the tube. Every time we got in the boat, she asked to ride on it. When the big boys chickened out, she hopped right on!
And after Powell came the family reunion. Here is one of the few quiet moments in the motorhome while driving to Oregon. Now that I think of it, why didn't Sherie have to take her turn in there???
Here is the happy girl before she was almost washed away. She still talks about it.
Of course a ride on the merry-go-round made it all better.
Annie had lots of fun playing with her cousins on the beach until Luke dumped her fishies out. Yes, she is still talking about that too.
Jer missed her terribly, but she filled him in on all the happenings.
Last weekend we went to Flagstaff with the Ruffs. This picture doesn't even do justice to the dirt. I ended up throwing this shirt away!It looks like Savannah has the same problem as some of her aunts when she is away from home. I got tired of sitting in the bathroom with her so I just put her potty outside. She sat there for at least twenty minutes and still nothing, but she enjoyed herself.
Now we're back home and she has no one to play with again. She plays with playdough a lot and tosses her dollies in the air constantly. I'm not sure what's so fun about that, but it keeps her occupied.
She has suddenly taken an interest in choosing her own clothes and hair accessories. She picked red sparkly barrettes this day so she would "be special". Then she chose this dress and said, "Don't I look fabulous?"
This post has taken me hours to put together, so I have calmed down now. We were just outside flying Savannah's new kite and now she is stapling away at her desk. Let's hope tomorrow is a little easier than today.
