A Few More

Okay I just happen to have some time right now... These are all from Facebook so if you keep up there, there's nothing new in this post. =)

Last night, I was putting overnight curlers in Lainey's hair and Bekah asked "Will you make my hair octopus-y, too?" lol

Reading with Lainey often goes something like this: "The...dog...went... The dog went?? That doesn't even make sense." "Lainey, *finish the sentence.*"

Told Bek I'd make the girls some decaf later... She says "I like coffee... Laina spills her coffee." lol I said "Yeah, she's our clumsy Laina. We love her!" She said "Yeah. And sometimes she clums water on the floor." LOL She is SO CUTE!!! =)

We had a birthday party for Bekah (on Oct 22). She is still talking and talking about it and it is SO precious to me that what she's talking about isn't cake or presents or games that we played - it is "I loved having all of my friends at my party!" She keeps naming for me all of her friends that she loves. =) So sweet!

Oct 1:

Cuteness 1) Bekah called a friend's toy razor "a pretend scravy thing."

Cuteness 2) We were at an alpaca farm and I told Bekah "These alpacas make me want to sneeze!" She said "These alpacas make me want to smile! They make me want to KISS!" I asked if they made her want to kiss ME and she said "No, they make me want to kiss the alpacas!" =)

Cuteness 3) We were making a cake for a neighbor's birthday and Bek whapped my belly with a frosting-covered spatula. She said "Oh! I'm so sorry I got frosting on your baby!!"

Sept 26: Bekah, eating yogurt: "Cows are so sweet for makin' me have milk." =)

Sept 19: Studying the Sumerians today... Lainey's sitting there poking her clay making a cuneiform tablet and she says "I'm making a picture of your brain!!" LOL Well, I guess that's what they look like... =)

Sept 17: ..other day I said "Whoa, I think I might throw up. I don't feel good." Em said "Welp, life's not about you feeling good!" Hahaha!! She's learning something. :)

I felt baby kicks with my hand Sept 14. Harper first felt them the 17th.

Sept 13: Getting out winter coats and snow pants and Bekah goes "Those are coats!! Are we going snowing in those?!?!?" =P So excited. lol Actually, we are learning about the Ice Age today and we are going to pretend we are in one. For 2 minutes, most likely, lol. Long enough for a picture and some fun. =)

Sept 11: Me: Laine, I like your funky style. =P Laine: What's funky about it? Me: Well, the purple polka dotted tutu and the bright knee high socks with multicolored stars on them.... Laine: I don't think they're funky - they're pretty! =)

Baha! Bekah just totally rejected a fresh mozzarella ball, after delighting in sheep cheese, and then wanted more and more 1000 day aged gouda. That's my girl.

Sept 9: Em asked to do the "big kids'" activity in Science today. So she wrote her first report. =P So cute!! She researched Giant Anteaters and typed up a little report about them. Lainey did the "little kids'" activity and drew a mammal - an absolutely adorable elephant. I am so glad I am not missing all of this! =)

Sept 6 was feeling baby thumps.

Sept 6: Em: I only got infinity infinities. Laine: I got more. :) lol

Sept 1: Today Bekah showed me her "Leaning Tower of Babel" made out of Legos and dropped in on the ground. It landed on her foot and she said "Ow, that hurt my finger thing...I mean...my toe!" =)

Aug 31: Yesterday, I took a nap with Bekah in my bed. She ended up at the bottom of the bed, and I was at the top. I woke up feeling super sleepy and needed a Kleenex, and without my glasses, I thought Bekah's pigtail was a Kleenex sticking out of a box. I totally pulled her pigtail, lol. I'm glad she slept through that. =P

Aug 29: Em woke up and threw up this morning. Not good. She says "Now my breath smells like celery." LOL

Aug 24: Hahaha!! I was blowing into my bottle and Bek said "Momma, why are you singing into your beer?" lol

Aug 14 (road trip to TX for Lauren's wedding): Bekah's playing with a daddy and a baby beef jerky. Hehe! Road trip entertainment. :)

Aug 12: Played Life with the girls today. Had a little Rachael and Leah going on... Em had 4 babies, and Lainey had none. She was so upset about not getting kids. :)

Aug 10: Bekah loves limburger. Peew!

Aug 9: "This place take longer than gettin' booked inta jail." -guy at the DMV, to Harper

Aug 8: Lainey: I like cows. I mean, dead cows to eat. LOL Me too. :)

Aug 5: Bekah, taking about her plum: "I ate the paper, but the inside was dripping all over the where." :)

Aug 2: Only boys have innies. -Lainey

That's yucky syrup! It has honey on it! -Bek

Bekah calls watermelon "lalamelon." =)

July 22: I was measuring batting for our craft at the ladies' retreat. Bekah asked "is that for making treats on trees?" :)

Lainey spontaneously burst into tears. Turns out she is upset because she thinks when she turns 5, her pretty glittery flip flops won't fit her anymore. :)

July 21: Bek: Can I have one of your ginger candies? Me: Nope. Daddy got them for me because I'm pregnant. Bek (crying): But Lainey told me *I'm* pregnant!!

Em, eating cereal... "Why do they call it 'Life' if it's full of sugar?" LOL

July 20: Discovered in line at Chick-Fil-A that Bekah has a naked bum under her pants...& the only place her diaper could be is on the bathroom floor at Hobby Lobby. LOL

July 16: Bek likes to say "That is too cute to be cute!!" :)

July 15: The girls, playing Pet Shops... Lainey: I want to spend my money! Em: That is SUCH a bad idea because ONE meal is FIVE hundred dollars! lol

Have you seen that Asian workout video, with "I was robbed by two men?" Bek has ben running around, saying "Take anything you want! Take anything you want!" Lol

July 14: Bek came to me crying and said, "The wall hit me!!" :)

July 10: Bekah, drinking some water yesterday: "Whaaaaat? Dere's a callapiller in dere!" (That would be a snot caterpillar on her lip. Eew.)

July 9: At an outdoor wedding...Bekah starts crying and I take her up the road and find it's because she sees "red fireflies" everywhere and "can't see the sun." :(

July 8: "Mommy, you're cute. Can we have oatmeal?" -Bekah

July 6: Lainey, sorting out who is playing what role in their game of House: "Okay, you are going to be our baby that loves to be naked."

June 30: Bek: Can you tangle this out? (untangle) :) She is so cute!!!

June 11: Bek just came and said "Dude, can we watch Thomas?" Hahaha!

May 20: Bek: "There was a thunderstorm and it was gonna about to say BOOM! It said BOOM!!!!" (That morphed into "about to gonna" and she used to say that all the time!)

I think I'm finally to where I blogged this stuff before. And my Titus fabric is here and in my lap! Sooooo cute!! =)

When I Grow Up

Oh and the other day Em asked Lainey what she wants to be when she grows up. She said a famous singer and a famous ballerina. =P She asked Em what she wanted to be and she said a wife and a mommy. =) Then Bekah piped up "When I grow up, I wanna be Lightmeen A-Queen!!" That would be Lightning McQueen, the red race car from the movie Cars. lol Sometimes she says she wants to be Lightning McQueen AND Mater. =P The other day she was running in circles saying "When I grow up, I want to be a CAR!!!!" Em told her people don't just turn into cars, and she was really upset like all of her plans for the future were crashing down. lol I told Em to just let her play. So she is back to telling everyone she wants to be Lightning McQueen. =P

Titus, for Real, and Girls

So I didn't even mention Titus. Our baby is going to be Titus. The girls are sooooo excited and talk about him all the time. Bekah tells him how when he comes out and gets big she will take him on a roller coaster. =) She also wants to teach him how to use the potty. =P

Harper's mom came for Bekah's birthday and brought us our first Titus stuff. =) So now there are cute little boy clothes in Em's closet. She told me "I squeal every time I open my closet!! The Titus clothes are SO CUTE!!" =)

I got fabric to make Titus crib bedding and it is supposed to come today! Yay!! =)

Last night Em put a sash around Bekah's chest like a bikini and Bekah ran into my room and said "I have a bakumi!!" lol

Bekah has been saying "make suring." "I'm make suring there's no lions or robots in our basement." or "I'm make suring there's no bad guys in our basement." =)

The girls all got fish when we studied fish in Science and Bekah named hers Gilgamesh. Em's is Emma and Lainey's is Elizabeth. Then we went to a fall party a week later and they got three fish. Agh! So Bekah named hers Hammurabi, we don't remember what Lainey named hers, and Em named hers Jessica. Lainey's fish and Hammurabi died after about two days. It was so cute and so sad to hear Bekah crying "Hammurabi died!!" =( Poor girl! Em's isn't doing so well today but we are trying to do what we can to save it. Spent a lot of money on some chemical that might help. But we don't want Emma to get sick, too, and Jessica is in the bowl with Emma. Sad! Bekah said if she gets another fish she wants to name it Nefertiti. =P lol

The other day I left the garage door open while I lasered and forgot to close the screen door and some flies came into the house. Bekah and I were sitting at the bar in the kitchen and she said "There's two flies!" Then another fly came over and she said "Oh! Now there's free flies, just like I'm free." =P Too cute! She is very happy to be three years old now. =P

I've painted the master bathroom, but still have some spackling to do (and painting over that), and I painted most of Lainey and Bekah's room but I have one wall that I couldn't get to all the way. I can't move the bed myself. But three walls are done, except for right around the top because I'm still deciding if I'm going to put a cute scalloped border around the top (painted) or if I don't want that much work. I painted a ballerina on one wall, but it needs a few more coats. The girls named her Adelaide. =)

I built a bookshelf and an entertainment center for the basement and then the big girls and I spent Bekah's naptime making a doll crib for her for her birthday. It took a few days, but it turned out super cute!! It is dark pink like the ballerina in their room and the drawer under the crib (for doll clothes - yay!) is a medium pink, which is what color the last wall will be. The other three walls are light pink. No crazy argyle stuff this time. =P

Bekah actually helped with her crib before it looked like anything. All of the girls love to do wood putty with me and Lainey likes to sand. =) And of course they all like to paint, but Bekah couldn't do that on the crib. =) Bek was working with me and I asked her "Do you know what I'm making?" She said "Yeah!!!" I asked what. She said "Um...boards!!!" =) lol She didn't know it was even for her at that point. Later she did know it was for her and she saw some of it starting to come together and said "Are you makin' me a bookshelf?!" She probably would have loved a bookshelf as much as a doll crib, if not more. She comes to me daily with an armful of books and says "Can you read all of these books to me?" =) So precious! She could spend all day with books. =)

Speaking of reading, Lainey is doing a really great job. She has learned quite a few more phonograms and she is getting quicker at recognizing words without sounding every letter out. She likes to read her readers to Bekah. =) It's so sweet!!

I'm working on Christmas presents and trying to decide if I want to take a little break and make some baby bedding when my fabric gets here. =P But I can't find my rotary cutter anyway. So I guess that's the first thing I need to do... I have two - how do I lose them both? I don't know. But I can't wait to see my Titus fabric!!! =)

Titus & Girls

I have a couple of lists that I made at the Rabbit Hole of cute Bekah things. So these are pretty old, but I don't want to not blog them. Emmy and I have been reading things that she said and did when she was just barely 3 and it is so cute! I want Bekah to get to read those things about herself, too. =) This list is from when my parents were visiting.

One day she told me "I like your mom. It's cute!"

"I'm going to peepee on the parking lot!"

My parents were here and my mom has a neck pillow in their car. Bekah put it around her neck and said "Look! It's a bloon wif a Bekah head!" I love how a balloon is a bloon. =P

I'm pretty sure the context of this was drinking some Starbucks in Grandma and Grandpa's car. Someone (I think my mom) asked Bekah "Did you get some?" I said "She was suckin' it down!" She said "Yeah, I was making sure there was nuffing, nuffing, nuffing for Grandma." LOL!!

Bekah loves knock-knock jokes and she had so much fun doing the banana-orange joke with Grandpa. She never did get it quite right. She would say banana 4 or 5 times and then suddenly her response to "banana who?" would be "orange you glad I didn't say banana?" And we would all crack up while Grandpa said "But you DID say banana!!" =P She tried and tried and tried to get it right. I think she did get it right one time. It was really cute, though. =)

Bek told Lainey "I love what you are drawing. It's beautiful!!" (I love how all of my girls compliment each other's art work.)

Bekah was talking about the wedding we had gone to and called it "That princess thing."

One day at church Bekah was walking down the hall, leaning on the wall. She got to a doorway and just fell down. lol

Em: Bekah, where did you put your cow?
Bek: I was collecting it.
Em: ...Do you know what collecting means, Bekah?
Bek: No.

Bekah, to Laine: You're mean!!! You're interesting!!!!
Laine: Do you know what interesting means?
Bekah: No.

lol I love these girls. =)

Harp: Bekah, did you poop in your pants?
Bekah: Nope.
Harp: What is that horrible smell?
Bekah: I think it's bugs.

Bekah loved fireworks this year and one time she tried to smuggle a smoke bomb into bed with her.

At the playground, Lainey asked Bekah if she wanted to try eating an ant. Bekah said "No...it's plastic!!!"

The girls found a snail shell at the playground and brought it home. They were playing with it and calling it the "power rock." Harper asked them what a power rock did. Em said, matter-of-factly, "It's so you don't have to sign papers when you go on adventures and stuff." =)

Okay that is everything on that paper. I will try to find the others. =)
