Ezri speaks

“I want this mustache to be a masterpiece.”

“See, Ivan, easy as peasy.” Showing her brother how to craft.

Meghan: What’s the hardest part of being a big sister.
Ezri: The special smell.

Ezri: BEE-BO PINATA! BEE-BO PINATA!
Amanda: What is a bee-bo pinata?
Ezri: It’s a pinata shaped like a bee-bo.

Rodeo bookstore is a game where Ezri lays out books from our collection and offers them for sale while she plays her harmonica.
She also “speaks rodeo” which involves speaking through her harmonica. It’s a trick to understand.
Eric made up a song we sing when we play rodeo bookstore, “Going to the rodeo bookstore and we’re gonna have a good time.”
I am usually the customer. Though lately Ivan has learned to play. You ask the bookstore lady (Ezri) if she has a book on a topic and she gets it for you and sells it to you for pretend money. Ivan walked up and said “Baby” and Ezri happily sold him a Peekaboo book with a baby on the cover.

“The pink ninja goes like this” (lots of spinning and jumping and thumping).
“I will teach to be PINK NINJA!”

Ezri: I’m the Las Vegas call girl!
Me: You’re the Las Vegas call girl?
Ezri: No, no, no Las Vegas cow girl. Like in the lights.
Me: The Las Vegas cowgirl?
Ezri: Yes, I ride cows and have that circle rope thing.
I think we are referencing this: Neon Cowgirl Sign
Though the neon Vegas cowgirl does not have a lasso. She is also not riding a cow.

This picture is Ivan and Ezri in the story box they made. It has stars drawn on the inside and buildings and a girl with rainbow pigtails.

AS a big sister six times — I have vivid memories of that special smell.

This is so weird because our girls hadn’t seen each other for almost a month but right after we got home the girls decorated a cardboard box all pretty and declared it their storybox and spent a week climbing into it and climbing out of it. It got filled with toys in a hasty clean up before y’all came over on Saturday or you guys would have been introduced.

Although I did work the weekend before we left so they may have made it before we left and Kaylee and Ezri could have talked to each other about storyboxes – it might not be their latent psychic powers activating.
