WOO HOO VACATION

I'm goin to Idaho, I'm goin to Idaho....da da da, la la la....
I'm so excited. J, M and I are all leaving on Saturday morning to fly to Idaho! not to mention my sister Erin will also be arriving that day! And who will be there to greet us? Mom and Emily!!! YAY!!! (although I will sadly note Megan and my neices, and of course Jason, will not be there)
I love my family! I'm pretty sure they know that... but just in case - I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I miss everyone so much because we all live so far apart. It's a very sad story. But every once in a while we get to get together and it's worth the world to me! AHHH!!! I want to scream I'm so excited. I am stressing myself out though, trying to get everything in order and ready. J tries to be helpful, but mostly he's only good for taking care of his stuff ( he kinda just gets in the way of everything else, but I appreciate the effort.) It is incredible how much harder it is to just get one baby packed, much less myself. It is even more amazing how much stuff one baby needs - fortunatley Emily has a lot of friends with babies, so it cuts down my load some - no high chair needed, no extra toys or entertainment to bring, she even offered baby food (which of course M refuses to eat now)- but still...babies! goodness!!

Today, while trying to get everything ready, M still needs all her attention. So she was fussing that I was neglecting that fact, until I had no choice but to sit down with her. At some point I decided to sing the ABC's to her. I don't sing it often enough, so she made me make it up to her today. After I finished my first round, she sat and smiled a minute, and then made the hand sign for 'more'. So I sing it again. 'more' she says. So I sing it again. 'more'. again. 'more'. again. finally I told her "there is no more, it ends with Z." Thank goodness she was content to stare at the fish for awhile.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Veggie Tales

so, because i'm lazy and am terrible at getting up in the mornings M and my morning routine is not the best, but it works for us. I get up when I hear her yell "mooom. daaaad. mooom. blah blah goober gibber." I get her out of bed, and still sleeping I go to the kitchen grab cereal or left over pancakes, or multi-grain bar for breakfast, put M in her highchair or more often just on the floor with a bowl and instantly she says "tales" and I turn on the one of our veggie tales movies and lay on the couch until my brain is working. well...just the other day it was the same routine, but when the movie ended I watched M disappear around the back of the couch and in a few seconds I see her hand reach up and grab the remote of the back of the couch, walks back around, hands me the remote and says "tales" and looks expextantly at the t.v. It was soooo funny and adorable. sometimes lately she comes up to me and says "remote?" and then "I dunn...
