Sillies by Shelby

A couple of Saturdays ago, I had a hair cut appointment. I had contacted Jenn (our old daily sitter) to watch the girls. She received a call from another mom for her to spend Friday night and Saturday at their house with her 2 boys. Shelby has played a time or 2 with the younger boy Nash at Jenn's parents' house in Gridley. But that has been a couple of years ago now so she didn't really remember him. Since this family lives in El Paso & that is where I get my haircut, I dropped the girls off there to play. As we pulled up to the house the boys were outside playing. This is the comment she had: "Are those the boys? I'm not going to marry either one of those guys". Why does it always have to be about marriage with her?!? Her next funny was after I came back to pick them up. They played for awhile longer and then Jenn asked the boys to start picking up the toys outside. Shelby had been tossing a tennis ball up in the air and hitting it with a baseball bat. She was doing a great job considering at Christmas time she couldn't hit the pinata with a stick. In her defense, she was standing too far away to actually reach it. After she hit the ball quite far, I told her she had to go pick it up and bring it back cause the boys were picking up. This is what she said walking back towards the van after picking up the ball, (As she drops the bat and ball on the ground) "Oooh booooys, you missed a spot". Jenn about choked it was too funny!

We like to play "store". I am the store owner as well as the cashier. Last week while playing she asked if I sold clothes for her baby. I told her the second floor of the store, first room at the top of the stairs on your left (directions to her room since that is where the doll clothes are). She comes back with about everything out of the drawers. While checking out all the clothes I commented about how lucky her baby was getting all those clothes. She says, "Yeah, I think my baby hit the jackpot".

Never a dull moment to say the least!

Still Here.....

Sorry I kind of took a vacation from the blog, but that is exactly what I did from life! I spent 9 days away with Nate and his baseball team on their spring break trip to Florida. It was a great time and wonderful sunny and 82 degrees everyday! I didn't have much for internet access while I was there. I came home for a week and then headed to my parents while Shelby was on spring break. No internet there either. And since being home I have just been trying to catch up. So I have been jotting down some notes of things to share with all you blog readers. I decided to split up the comments as to not make the entry so long.

Another Funny Conversation

One of the funniest things that goes on between Shelby and Morgan is when little sis bosses or corrects big sis and she doesn't understand that usually little sis shouldn't be telling her what to do. She puts up with it and actually does what she says for the most part.

Here is another funny chat:

Shelby: "What do you have in your cup Morgie?"
Morgan: "It's called medicine." (With that "dah" tone of voice). :)

I'm Big Now!

Before I went to Florida, I told Morgan when I came home she could have a big girl bed. My original plan was to set up the twin bed that used to be in the spare room that became Shelby's. Instead I decided to start her out in a toddler bed. I headed out Sunday night to buy it and put it together so she could sleep in it that night. When I put her down in the bed she said, "This is just perfect". It was so cute. She stays in it all night and sleeps great. It's funny because although she has the ability to get out of her room, she stays in the bed and yells when she is ready to get up. Just like she always did in the crib. She's loving it but I'm sorry to say this is just another thing big sister is having a hard time dealing with! Morgan is telling everyone, "I have a big girl bed. I'm big!" I plan to paint it white when grandma can come for a visit.

Pet Request

This morning on the news we saw a baby giraffe that was born at a zoo on the east coast. Shelby thought he was sooooo cute. These are the comments that followed:

Shelby - "I want that baby giraffe for a pet. I'll forget about the stinkin cat."
Mom - "Not this week sister".

Bedtime Prayer

Last night I was saying a bedtime prayer with Shelby. We usually cover the same things: thank you for her, help her sleep well and not dream, help her stay warm...... Last night at the end I added: "Please help Shelby to be a good girl and listen the first time." When we were done she said, "You didn't have to say that about being a good girl and listening". She said this with a disgusted sort of tone of voice! :) I told her yes I did because she needs the help.

Support the Green

I changed my background to St. Patrick's Day to celebrate the Irish in me. My grandma Mosley was 100% Irish so I like to remember her by supporting some green in March. Happy St. Patty's everyone!
