This afternoon I was in the mood to go shopping but of course being on a limited budget I thought the D.I. would be fun to scope out. So while Ryan and my brother, Randy were playing the Wii and watching the kids, I got ready to leave, as I was walking out the door, Avery was crying and wanted to go. So I took her with me. Avery and I found some great things actually. A few pants for Madi and two jackets and a coat! Well before I went to check out I went the fitting rooms to try the stuff on. As I was lifting Avery out of the cart, I noticed she had peed everywhere! It was down her legs and all over the shopping cart. Ugh! I asked one of the workers if she had any cleaning stuff to clean the cart, then Avery and I proceeded to try on the clothes real quick. As I was trying on this skirt Avery tooted really loud and then yelled, "Mom! I tooted!"

Me: Shhh! Ok, ok. Just be quiet, ok?

She tooted loudly a second time and again yelled, "Mom, I tooted!" All with a big grin across her face.


What a silly kid!

Bus Ride

On Thursday I got to ride the school bus to school with Madi. She did ok the first day but I thought I would ride with her the next day so she wouldn't be so scared. So I had Ryan's aunt Wendy come over to watch Avery and Emily. On the bus this little girl sitting in front of us was crying pretty hard. Madi and I had a conversation about it and it went something like this....

Madi: Mom, is that little girl sad?

Me: Yeah, she will be ok, I think. She's probably just scared.

Madi: Maybe she is scared of the big bus. Or maybe she wants her mommy too?

Me: Yeah. Maybe she is scared of the bus and misses her mommy. Maybe we could help her?

Madi: Yeah. We could. I am not scared Mom. Avery is scared of the bus. She is little and I am big so I am not scared.

Me: Yeah, you are so brave.

Avery walks into the room and looks at Emily and says, "Hi baby. How you doing?"

Toast

After Madi's first day of school I asked her what her favorite part of the day was...

She replied, "The toast! It was so good."

haha!

Silly Head

The other night after Grandpa Hodges left to go back home to Colorado, I was telling Avery that she is so lucky to have three Grandpa's that love her. Well she must have thought that I was telling her that there were three grandpa's at our house, because she turned to me and said, "No, Mom. One grandpa. Silly Head!"

What? Did my child just call me a silly head?

Nacho is Grandpa?

For some family time tonight we wanted to watch a movie together. So we were all trying to decide what movie to watch and looking through all our videos. When Avery yells out, "Grandpa Newman!"

Ryan looks down to what she was pointing at and saw she was pointing at "Nacho Libre" with Nacho on the side.

It must have been the mustache...

I asked Avery, "Where is Grandpa?"

Avery pauses then yells, "At hoooommmeee!"

Bye-bye Bus

Tonight as we were leaving to go over to Ryan's aunt and uncle's place to watch the first BSU game of the season, I told Avery to go find her shoes so we can go. After about five minutes she came back and had her shoes on and said, "Yuk (look)Mom! I found them!"

Me: "Good job Avery. We need to leave soon."

Avery wonders off and I can hear her in the living room telling all her toys, "Bye-bye bus. I wuv (love) you. Bye-bye bear. I wuv you. Bye-bye bus. I wuv you. Bye-bye baby. I wuv you. Bye-bye bus. I wuv you."

Either she likes her toy bus the best, or she just kept forgetting she already said goodbye to it several times already!

Shoes

I told Avery and Madi to go get on their shoes because we needed to leave. Avery comes running over with her shoes on and says, "Yuk (look) Mom! I did it! YAY!"

She was so proud of herself.

Face Mask

So since Emily is home and we can't take her out in public much, Ryan and I switch off going to church every week. This last week Ryan took the girls to church while I stayed home with Emily. That morning I for some reason decided to put on a facial mask because my face was breaking out. So I put on this white mask stuff that gets hard after a while and that you leave on for 20 minutes or so. Well I forgot I even had it on, and as I was getting the girls ready for church Avery comes into the bathroom so I can get her hair done.

She looks up at me and says, "Yuck Mom! Yuk (look) at face mom! HAHAHAHAHA!"

I must have looked pretty funny to her, as she was laughing at me. It was pretty cute!
