Friday (or Saturday) Funnies: Mid-November Wrap-Up

Here I go again with a whole collection of funnies to share because I didn't get around to it last week.  Most of them are from the week before but still some cute stories here.  I hope you enjoy them as we are enjoying the nice warm Florida Keys weather!

At cousin Alexa's 3rd  birthday party we asked Megan how old Alexa was now.  We got a couple different answers:  A couple times she replied with "Two and a half" and another time with "Two months"!

We dropped Megan off at childcare the Sunday before last and Miss Barb had a funny story to share with us.  Megan had been coughing a bit with her hand by her mouth.  When Miss Barb reached Megan to ask if she was ok, Megan told her that she had something in her mouth.  Miss Barb got a little nervous but calmly asked what exactly was in her mouth.  What was Megan's response?  "A cough!"

The Wednesday night before last the kids and I stayed at my parents' place for dinner.  While we waited for dinner to be ready I wanted to go play piano with Megan.  There was a piano book on the holder but it wasn't staying open for me.  My solution would have been to put another piano book on top of the page that kept flopping shut but Megan's mind had another idea.  She hopped off the bench and ran into my mom's office.  I thought she had bored with the piano and had moved on but I was quickly reminded how Megan's mind works.  She returned with a big clip, like a chip clip bag, but one of those that narrows at the tip.  She proudly gave it to me and said, "Here Mommy... a tweezers!"  I could use this to clip the pages together and keep the book open!

A couple shorter ones:

• I told Megan that she had a new baby cousin, Lily.  She was so concerned about her and kept asking if baby Lily was crying!  I guess she learned from her brother that crying is one thing babies do well!
• Megan's new nickname for Owen is "Wiggle Butt"!
• We know when Megan likes the taste of something when we get our new favorite expression of "Deeeeeee-licious"!

And most recently:

I was driving the kids to John's parents' place last Monday morning.  As you might remember this was the morning of winter's first snow here in Minnesota.  I was tempted to call the trip off several times and go back home due to many white-outs that I kept getting especially going around the curves.  It all turned out fine in the end but I let out quite a few deep sighs when I couldn't see anything.  Megan asked me what was wrong.  I told her that I couldn't see the roads or the cars.  She was so sweet and said, "But Mommy, I can see them!"  I was glad to have my little backseat driver helping me navigate :)

During that same trip I told Megan that her and Owen were the best little kids I could ever ask for.  Her reply?  "Well, who were you asking?"

And finally, my ultimate favorite of the week...  Megan's hair is finally long enough to get back in a ponytail.  John put it back on Thursday but it needed fixing when I got home from work.  I put it in and told her it looked beautiful.  She wanted to look at herself in a mirror so I was happy to show her.  Megan loved it - especially because she now looks like Daisy Duck!!!  What a clever connection she had made.  I think this might be a good way to get her to let me put her hair back.  I will just have to ask if I can put the Daisy in!
