The fun things you find when packing for the move

As I’m packing up my apartment I am cleaning out as well.  Tonight I was cleaning out some drawers and finding all sorts of things that Mom’s tend to keep.  Mini Red keeps running out when she hears me sighing and awwing at the pictures I find of her when she was little. 

Besides finding pictures I am finding notes I’ve written of funny things Mini Red did such as:

9/15/04
In the car Mini Red held up her umbrella and made a “cha chi” sound as if the umbrella was a rifle.  Then in an accent she says: “Don’t mess with me! I am Anol Swartaznegger and I am the Gov’nor of Calaforneeiaah”. I don’t know where she get’s this.

Thank goodness there is always a date. September 15, 2004 would make Mini Red about 9 yrs old.

Here’s a note she wrote to me when she was 10 and I’m including the mispellings:

I can’t wait to find more of these.  If Mini Red allows I may post more. I’m just glad to see that I’ve at least written down some of these funny, kid like, things she did and put them anyplace to find later. I’m also so happy I’ve saved her notes.  So many of her notes end with “P.S. I Love You Mommy“. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
