I totally have the same problem with the book and the movie. I can't help but imagine the same characters in my head. It's not bothering me though.
I like the book so far, although Laurie seems too proper - again, comparing the book to the movie.
I really liked it when she wrote about the girls' routine in the morning before they left for the day and the last part of the routine was the girls looking back to their mother before turning the corner. "Somehow it seemed as if they couldn't have got through the day without that, for whatever their mood might be, the last glimpse of that motherly face was sure to affect them like sunshine."
I guess I like that part because I want to be the mom who affects her children like sunshine. I'm also super excited for Anjanette to be growing a baby inside of her right now. I can't wait to make promises about hand crafted baby things that it will take me not long to do, but years to actually get in the mail to you AJ. Jenny? Randi? Can I get a witness?
I love you all. I'm enjoying the book. More later.

all the girls are too goody goody for me. it's annoying. except joe who is obsessed with boots (ok maybe not obsessed).
ps. Camille- Thanks for being so excited about my little peanut. I can't wait for the homemade goods to arrive in the mail! I was actually thinking about you yesterday as I was looking through Pottery Barn kids. There are dolls like the ones that that you made. And I thought, I wonder if I could pay Camille to make some of those for my kids (or at least give me some pointers if I try to make them). What do you think? Great idea, huh?
I agree with AJ. These girls are way too perfect for me. Even when they're upset they get over it in two seconds...maybe I should work on getting pointers from them.
I do like reading about their rules and expectations, though. It would be so improper to go to a dance without gloves...
