No More Naps

Over a month ago Boo decided she was done with naps.  I was REALLY hoping that it would just be a phase and she would start napping again, but I’ve officially given up that hope.  By now we’ve worked out a new “normal” and we’re getting along just fine.  It’s actually working out nicer since we don’t have to stop for her to take a nap during the day. 

It seems WAY too early for her to stop napping since K stopped napping just last year at 5 years and 3 months (on the day Peanut was born), but I think she really is ready.  When she does take a nap she’s down for 2-3 hours and is a little big grumpy all evening after she wakes up.  Now she just plays hard until bedtime. 

When she was napping we would put her to bed at 8:30 and she would quietly lie in bed looking around or talking softly to herself until 10:00-10:30! Now we put her down at 8:00 and she is out like a light.  It seriously takes less than 5 minutes.

So I guess it’s all for the best, but it does make the day a little long. Especially in the afternoons when I catch her laying somewhere and sucking her thumb…

“Who me?? No, I’m not tired…I was dust hiding!”

“See Mommy?”

At least the little one still takes two good naps for me! :)

“Dat Funny?”–Part 6

December 5th

I went into her room to get her up in the morning and found that she had SHREDDED this foam cow that T had got for her.  It was everywhere.  “Boo!  Why did you do that?!?” S: “Because he was moo-ing too loud and he waked me up!”

December 7th

Me: “Girls! Time for bed!”

Boo: shaking her head…”Dat is un-ah-sept-able.”

December 10th

I was changing Peanut’s diaper with some new diapers someone had given us.  I think they were Huggies and had Mickey Mouse on them.  We’d never had that kind before and when Boo came in and saw them she said, “Noooo!  Don’t let her poopy on Mickey!”

December 11th

When S gets really frustraated she pulls out all the stops!  She knows that there is power in the word of the Lord so it is so funny to hear her scolding Bug.  I heard them arguing and wrote it down.  “Twust me K!” she shouted so frustrated she was turning red in the face.  “Twust me in the Wourd (Lord)!  FROM MY ENEMIES!”

December 12th

When she gets really excited she will say, “YAY!  SUPER YAY!”

December 15th

We let her pick out a present for K and when we got in the car she told K what it was. “I got you a wapunzel weg (wig).” Bug, who speaks “Boo” said, “You got me a Rapunzel…leg?”  I scolded, “Boo! Don’t tell her or it won’t be a surprise!”  S turns to to K.  “SHHH!  It a su-pise!”

I’ll just do these for now and do the others next week.

“Laugh With Me!”–Part 22

I am SOO mad at myself!  I’ve been keeping these on my phone and thinking that I should make sure they were recorded somewhere else, but I just kept telling myself as soon as I got caught up with them it wouldn’t be a problem.  Then my phone freaked out and T had to do some fancy re-setting type stuff and I lost everything back to January when it had last been updated.  So I lost all the girls’ funny sayings from January till now!  Grr.

For K I only had two that I hadn’t posted.  I am going to keep up with them from now on!!!

January 25th

We have a bad habit of going to Mexican food about once a week (sometimes every other week) because it’s good food and nice to get out of the house and one of the two restaurants we eat at here in our little town.  We had been trying to get K to try out some of her Spanish phrases there and this time when we left she said, “Gracias Sen-yorta!”  Haha :) Now she is very good at saying, “Gracias, Senor Pablo!”

January 31st

We were doing our schoolwork for the day and came across the word cartographer.  I explained what it was, and then said, “You learned a new word! You can tell Daddy about it when he gets home.”  She responded with, “I already knew that word.  I just don’t use it very often.”

And the one that made me realize I lost all the others…

July 8th

Playing a game of cooties.  “My cooties are moving to Maine.” Me: “Really? Why?”  K: “Because they are mad at Boo’s cooties so they are moving to Maine to have lunch and then they are going to drive to Alaska.” She then proceeded to walk them into the other room. :)

Maybe I’ll remember some of the funny stuff they said…but not likely.  If I don’t write it down ASAP I forget.  Like even an hour later.  :P

Happy Birthday to Me

I had such a good birthday on Tuesday! T had to be at work early for a meeting, but the girls made me pancakes for breakfast!  I mixed up the batter, turned on the griddle and let them have at it.  They did a great job!  They also woke me up with sweet homemade birthday cards…the best kind!

T got off at 11:30 and Noni and Papa joined us for Mexican food.  Yum.  Then we headed down to the lake to soak up some sun!

Peanut absolutely loves the water! And she loves to try to eat rocks so she really loved the lake! But not so much the squeezing of her cheeks to make her spit out all the rocks she kept putting in her mouth. :)

Bug and Boo love going to the lake.  We really need to get down there more often!

The water looks really dirty in this picture! It was clear when we got there…we just kind of stirred up the sand/dirt.

Peanut would not sit still and was crawling all over in the water in search of things to put in her mouth.

She seriously wanted to dive into the water and swim away!  She is hard to hold onto around water because she just wants to be IN it!

Noni made sandwiches and my favorite…German chocolate cake.  Yum!

My friend B and her daughter joined us. 

The family went together and got me a pretty new suitcase since our current one in this size is broken in several places because we use it all the time.  Noni also brought me back a beautiful aqua colored bag from her trip.  So pretty!

T bought some wooden boxes and then had the girls paint them.  So sweet!

They did a great job.  I love them!

What a wonderful birthday!
