Quote of the day {By Makayla Jo--nearly two}

So, I'm putting my jeans on this morning and they are a little snug (you know after they've just been washed...tell me you experience this too) I'm pulling them up and I guess I made a little face at Makayla while doing so and she says,

{"What Mom, can't zip your pants?"}

I just had to laugh! I guess I'd better add exercise to my resolution!

The Calico Crew said...: I was going to mention something about your scrubs getting a bit snug. Glad you brought it up--I'm TOTALLY kidding! By the way,Porter saw your picture of your funny face and asked, "Why she doing that? Is she mad at someone?" Yeah, that's the face I make when I'm mad.; January 9, 2009 at 2:29 PM
Gretchen said...: Oh... I know how you feel. Cam always says that kind of stuff to me, (only he is 5, so his are TRUE!!) When I am doing his hair in the morning he will push on my tummy and ask if I have another baby in there! Thanks bud,...way to boost my ego!! I loved checking out your blog. You have added so much since I last looked. You have such a fun family! You are all so awesome! Looks like you had a way fun, busy Christmas. I love your New Year Resolutions, too!! They are great ones! How would it be to not HAVE to add excersise to the list, you skinny little thing!!; January 10, 2009 at 5:15 PM
Kim said...: What the heck....she talks that well? I'm not sure Avery will be using complete sentences by the time she's two....I don't know, maybe a lot can happen in 4 months who knows. Your girls are so cute....and getting so big....and you certainly are not getting any thicker (do you like that word?); January 10, 2009 at 8:49 PM
Kit said...: THat is so funny! I love that you call her Jo Jo all the time. It totally fits her!

P.s. Did you ever make your blog into a book?? Teach me please. I really want to make my 2008 book, but now that blurb is gone....don't know what to do??; January 14, 2009 at 1:10 PM
Jamie Sue said...: OH my gosh, that reminds me of Sydney. Last night for dinner I made some rolls, 12 to be exact. So the kids wanted to know how many everybody got. And I told them that they all get 2, but mommy and daddy can have 3. Well, that's when Sydney goes, "Can you guys EAT 3 rolls? Do you have room? Well, I know Mom has room, but I don't know if Daddy's belly is big enough for 3." YEAH! Lovely! At least yours came out of the mouth of a 2 year old and not an EIGHT year old. Jeez!!; January 16, 2009 at 11:50 PM

I was explaining to Abbey that Harvey has RSV and what that means. She looked at me and said,

Abbey came out at about 10:30 {after being in bed since 9} to use the bathroom. RJ went in to check on her, and she had his glasses in her hand?? He asked her what she was doing with his glasses and she just stared at him. She grabbed the toilet paper, used the last square to wipe, and without tearing it from the roll, flushed it down. The whole roll started to follow! She got up and went back to bed, all without a word!

"PPI's are DUMB!"
"PPI's are done?"--mom
"NO, PPI's are DUMB. I'm not doing that again."--Makayla
Apparently it wasn't as fun as she was expecting.

This is so cute because her papa makes her "sticky popcorn" AKA marshmallow popcorn and it is her favorite thing, and it's VERY sticky.

This is too funny so I need to write it down. Broc and Julie adopted a darling baby boy last August. He's African American and Abbey never seemed to notice or at least never said/asked anything about it. Broc and Julie were babysitting Abbey and Makayla and Abbey was playing with baby Tyler. She looked up at Julie and {very matter-of-factly} says,
"Well, it looks like you are going to have a brown baby!"
So funny! Like she was just waiting for his skin to turn light and decided it just wasn't gonna happen!

Last few days {April 10-12}
"She lookes so DAPPER!"--Abbey
and this is a good thing. She says it when her barbies are dressed up fancy.

Potty training week- {March 25-April 1}

"I got POTTY POWER!"- Makayla

April 1st

"Whoa tooters!"- mom
With a very concerned look, "I poop!"- Makayla
Run to potty
outcome: Makayla's first Shart :)

Abbey watching American Idol with me--{In her most "adult" voice}
"He is such a TALENT!" --Abbey Mathews
It cracks me up, she takes bits and pieces of things we say, and puts it together in her own unique way.

February 23, 2009
Trying to get Makayla to take a nap
{and she wasn't happy about it}

"I not talking to you mom!" --Makayla
"Why because you're mad at me?" --Mom
"Yup!"--Makayla

{Then, of course, she continues to rattle on and on and on...and finally falls asleep--an hour later!}
