life with Emily. ah, life with Emily.
when it’s good, it’s VERY, very good..
she’s smart and funny and talented and even stops to teach her brother and her ice-cream clad, half-nudey sister a new dance move…
but most of the time THIS is Emily…
“Mommy, i have a problem!”
“Emily, i’m at work. what’s your problem?”
“It says i have to wear my camp t-shirt because we are going bowling today.”
“I know. i took it out for you.”
“But i can’t wear it.”
“Emma. i’m at work. what’s the problem?”
“Well, see the thing is…well, i just can’t…it’s not, it’s just not CUTE. i wouldn’t be caught dead in it.”
(she’s SEVEN)
“Emily, the ENTIRE camp is going glow-in-the-dark bowling today. every. single. person. there is going to be wearing the SAME shirt.”
“so?”
“So, you can’t go on the trip if you’re not wearing it. is it worth missing bowling?”
“maybe”
“goodbye Emily. i’ll see you later. have a fun day. i’m hanging up the phone right now. i need to go back to finding a photo of a cactus…”
“At least you got to pick your shirt this morning”
CLICK
Emily also says, “please, please, please stop wearing white pants. they are only appropriate for the pre-teen set”
she is wise beyond her years, folks.
even Mrs. Fussypants agrees with that, Emily!
thank you thank you thank you for all your TV recommendations. i’m currently in the process of downloading about 43 different shows. and i’ve decided to start with
but only because it was the first one to finish downloading. three episodes in, though, and i’m HOOKED. amazing.
speaking of TV….anyone watch Big Brother 10 last night? any early favorites?
But life with Emily is entertaining!
Re: BB… I didn’t get a whole lot out of last night… too much about justifying the nominations… but I liked Jerry (who didn’t?) and suspect that Dan/Brian will end up orchestrating their own demise in a few weeks.
SciFi Dads last blog post..Making Lemonade
I like the Hooters girl because I CAN RELATE TO HER! 😉 Well, not really — she’s WAY hott! And, her hooters are HAWT!
Ummm, we’re off to salsa tots and Monkey’s wearing a white and black polka dot dress because SHE INSISTED! Yesterday, she wore her “Paris Hilton” dress to a HORSE SHOW. I have an Emily in the making — at THREE YEARS OLD!

Emily sounds like she’s older than her years 🙂
How did I miss Big Brother? I’ll have to remedy that.
Angellas last blog post..Three Posts In One
I haven’t been watching tv and didn’t know BB started….will be tuning in for that. I forgot about six feet under, great show.
porters last blog post..
I love Emily. I would be caught DEAD in those camp shirts either. Ewwww…
Big Brother. My fav? Too early to tell. Obviously that Reny or whatever has to go. If she doesn’t, I will stop watching.
PS. I love your taste in TV.
ohmommys last blog post..Their conspiracy to keep me from going to BlogHer…
OMG. This is why I have boys. Really, I couldn’t handle the pressure of the fashion problems…hers AND mine. She is super cute.
I may need to check out 6 feet under. I must have been under a rock for the last few years. Oh, and I missed Big Brother too.
HRHs last blog post..Monday Potluck: Where’s the fruit?
Haha, just wait until she’s 13! Then the fun will really begin 🙂
Katies last blog post..Jumping on the Wagon
Oh Emily. So sage, so…me. Love her. =)
To be fair, those camp shirts aren’t flattering at all. And green? I bet it was electric green. Not anyone’s best color.
Just wait until she has money of her own to spend on clothes.
heathers last blog post..153 Holes in my Heart
Where are you downloading these shows from? I think I need in on this action!
And BB10 – I dunno who I like yet. I know I don’t like Renny and that Brian guy seems sketchy to me.
I think that maybe, just maybe, Emily and I are long lost sisters, or twins, or cousins or something.
I am pretty sure she has my soul – literally.
I once had a friend who made us all wear matching t-shirts to her birthday party. Needless to say, she wasn’t happy with my chosen attire. Oops.
hahaha! emilys so funny.and my 7 year old very stubborn about what she wears.and don’t get me started on the 3 year old.yikes!
Dude. Bring Emily to BlogHer. I think we’d get along famously.
slynnros last blog post..Happy Birthday to me!
Emily TOTALLY has that TV show host thing down. She already knows how to gracefully push someone off camera while still smiling. What a gal!
Margarets last blog post..Shoes White People Like
It is totally obvious that your daughter could kick my fashion ass. (As you will see at BlogHer! Whee!)
And? Did I throw out my favorite series EVER? Dead Like Me. Mandy Patinkin (Inego Montoya Princess Bride) plays an mid-level manager to a rag-tag group of Grim Reapers who have their headquarters in a German Waffle house in Seattle and get their assignments via PostIt notes. LOVE IT.
Loralees last blog post..Lecturing leads to frigidity. Just so you know.
My 7 year old is the EXACT opposite. She could not be less interested in fashion. She’d wear the same grey sweat-shorts and white t-shirt every day if I didn’t leave ’em dirty once in a while.
manager moms last blog post..Suck On This, Dilbert
Do we have bizarro world Emily’s? Mine is 8 and I swear I just had the same conversation with her the other day.
Does yours ever say – “this is the worst day ever!!!”
Funny kid! Love it! And I think she could be right about white pants. Once you have hips….
Emily – the next Vera Wang. I believe it!
You won’t be disappointed in Six Feet Under! It’s awesome!
Glad you’re enjoying Six Feet Under.

Jenns last blog post..Why I Live Here
Watched Big Brother. Renny will be the first to go–easily.
I’m kinda rooting for curly-haired Rhode Island gal, although I have a hunch that she’ll prove to be obnoxious.

This article made me think of you “The Weird Science of Stock Photography”. Hahaha! I have to dig through tons of that stuff, too!
cristans last blog post..Dear Prudence…won’t you come out and play?
Oh how I love Six Feet Under. It’s my fav series EVER. The last episode will you have you weeping, it’s the best finale I’ve ever seen.
And white pants…EEEEW. But I sure wish I could pull them off.
Kristies last blog post..I’m thinking of changing my blog name to Thistletwat*
Love Six Feet Under. I agree with Kristie, best last episode ever! I miss that show a lot. Such great characters
I expect similar phone calls from my fashion diva once she figures out how to dial the phone.
Sounds a lot like my Emma.
Renees last blog post..John’s Wish
I can’t get over Emily. You’re in trouble, yo.
Six Feet Under is my favourite show ever. EVER.
You have your HANDS FULL here mama!
Misss last blog post..Things that need to be said
seven?? SEVEN!?!?
Holy Hell!
Britts last blog post..A Hiking We Will Go
YAY for Six Feet Under!! BTW I saw them at Costco for $25 / Season! Seriously, say good bye to summer, it will hook you that bad! Enjoy!
As someone who has some pull with day camps in my area, I’ll make sure I send Emily the proof before we order next year’s camp shirts.
I wouldn’t want anyone to be “caught dead” in our shirts! lol
six feet under is one of my favorite series. excellent choice.
I just finished watching season 3 of Weeds – have you seen that show?
When I was a kid I would get mad if my mom tried to put me in something that didn’t match. Everything had to be a perfect match and never ever worse navy blue and black together.
Also, I wear white pants. And I even have a white pair of capris for BlogHer.
And also, if Renny doesn’t go this week on BB10, I might shoot myself. And that Jessie needs to stop whining.
Kristabellas last blog post..It’s A Blogstravaganza!
Did she actually say “pre-teen set”??? Because if so, I need to borrow her so she can tell my co-worker to stop wearing crop tops.
The Over-Thinkers last blog post..Everytime I post, an Angel gets its’ wings…Poor, poor Angel. My bad.
Emily is SO adorable and reminds me so much of my Amanda when she was that age (and if she is like her I feel really sorry for you, lol….those years were so hard!!)
I’m loving BB10 and was up all night watching the live feeds. So much went down..it was awesome!
I was rooting for Jerry and still might be but he’s been a little creepy on the feeds. I think I’m leaning more towards Keesha. She’s been very sweet to everyone and likes everyone in the house.
Good choice with Six feet Under. What a quacky family! and it only gets better.
Oh boy! It’s starting that early. YIKES!
We’re watching BB! I was so excited for it to start. I don’t have a favourite yet though…..I do have to say I like the old guy, he’s cute!

I like the mom who left her twins at home. I couldn’t begin to tell you her name.
