Kallie says the darndest things

We were having a little snack in the kitchen and Kallie holds up a pretzel and says

Look mommy it's Mickey Mouse!

She has also been into been into babbling some nonsense followed by the words Birthday Cake. I have no idea what she means by this, but out of no where or when you are yelling at her she does this. Hum, a distraction, I guess.
example:

K: Mommy!
M: What Kallie
K: lkadjfahdfkjhdfkaj a Birthday Cake!
M: Really! Wow!


Last night we had ribs for dinner. She was getting into eating the meat off the bone. She bites down and hits the bone and says "Daddy, it's hard."

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to me! I had to work all day...yes day. My work asked if I would do some more day shifts and I am a sucker and said yes. Well the kicker was that I had to work my first day shift in like 3 months on Mother's Day. YUCK. But it is ok. We had a wonderful brunch and the Grand America last weekend with Gary's Family..Very Tastey.. and we had a great dinner last night (steak and crab!) Gary surprised me with Oliver Garden for lunch at work and Shantel colored me a wonderful card. It was a great day, even spending at work with all the NEW Mothers!

Potty Training... yeah right!

Kallie is no where near potty training. She can hold it for a while and ends up soaking wet at all the wrong times and leaves the room when she needs to "take care of business". but other than that no go.

The other day Kallie pooped and came up to me to change her.
I asked her if she pooped
she laughed and said yeah.
Mommy: Oh you stink
Kallie: Giggle giggle
Mommy: That's disgusting!
Kallie: No mommy
Mommy: Yeah Kallie that's disgusting
Kallie: It's not disgusting....its nummy!

Ahh the things that kids say!

Super Kids!

Well the kids haven't had too much going on lately. Their new fascination is pulling all the pillows off the couch and jumping on and off the couch. Keegan seems to think climbing on the back of the couch is the greatest. He has learned from his sisters that jumping into the pile of pillows on the floor is a great joy as well. So far no trips to the ER!

Spoiled?? I think so!

So Shantel was planning a long play date with Ella after school today and go to Jackson's baseball game. I called Gary to let him know that Shantel wouldn't be at Grandma Pam's when he got there. He informed me that he had set up a sleep over for Shantel with Grandma. Well I call Aunt Les back and tell her to bring Shantel home a little later.

Shantel gets home and I apologize to her that her play date was cut short. She replies "That's Ok I am going somewhere more fun...to be spoiled at Grandmas!" I laugh at disbelief and then she finishes "And have all the treats that I want."

That had to be the truest statement she had said all day!

Hair Cut Anyone?

So today Shantel decided on giving herself a haircut. I found a clump of hair on the ground and knew immediately it was from Shantel. I asked here why and her excuse was...Because. I told her because wasn't really an answer and she replies...it is for me. WOW! I have my work cut out for me with this one. Luckily it is not the biggest chunk in a very visible spot. It just looks like she has bangs growing in at different lengths. Ahh the joys of parenthood.

Smartest Kid!

I just need to brag at how smart my littlest redhead is. Today I was getting ready to leave for work and I was putting Kallie's shoes on. I looked of at Keegan and asked if he wanted to go to Grandma's house. He did his usual nod yest with an Uhh-huh. I asked where are your shoes and I swear he said I don't know...in a 15 month old sort of way... "I doh ohhh". I laughed and said again where are Keegans shoes, he walks off. I continue putting Kallie's shoes on and he walk up to me with shoes in his hands and says "shoe", sits down and tries putting his shoes on. Now if that is not genius... I don't know what is!
