Our biggest forget-it moment came at the beginning of the month when we had our first really big dumping of snow. We hadn't winterized our patio as well as we needed to before the snow came and we completely forgot about tucking satellite cable in better. When our dish was installed they buried it ok but it slowly made its way up from underneath the rocks. Anyways, when the snow removal people came with their snow blower they cut the cable! That was not the thing John was hoping to see as we pulled into our driveway after church that Sunday right as the Vikings game was about to start! It took him a couple hours and a couple stores but he was able to get the TV going again and watch the last half of the game.
Now on to some funnies (in no particular order):
Megan got such a kick out of all the Christmas decorations, including the stockings. At my parents' house, she found a stocking, stuck it on one foot and said, "Ho, ho, ho. Give me candy!"
When opening up Christmas presents at John's parents' place one of Megan's gifts was packaged in a box of an outdoor lighted deer lawn decoration. We all commented on the box since John's dad usually gets boxes from his places of employment. As Megan pulled out her beautiful fleece blanket and pillow she exclaimed, "Hey! Where's the lights!"
The Sunday before Christmas my mom and sister graciously took the kids for the day so John and I could do some thorough cleaning of the house. It was awesome and one of my best Christmas presents this year! Anyways, picking Megan up that night John told her that she had been at Grandma's house so Mommy could clean the house. He also told her that he made her bed while she was away. She quickly said, "Did you make me a blue bed?" Here she thought John had made her an entirely new bed and she talked about her blue bed the whole night long!
Megan's been on this little kissy kick for the last few weeks. She likes to wrap her arms around my neck and kiss me smack on my lips. I try to turn my head and tell her to kiss me on my cheek but she turns it right back. I finally asked her who kisses like that. She replied, "Auntie Cat and Uncle Kevin!" I am no longer going to be the first person to start the dinging of glasses at wedding receptions anymore! Too much wedding fun for Miss Megan!
We've also been talking about people lately. Big people and little people - mostly that Megan and Owen are young so they are little and that Mommy and Daddy are grown-ups. Right now, Megan has been telling me that I am medium in size and is wondering when I am going to be big like Daddy! I knew my height would come up eventually, but not when our daughter was only 2 1/2!
Our little girl sure knows when someone is not in a good mood. Megan can sense when I am a little annoyed or mad and will ask, "Mommy, are you mad?" She is so sweet when she comes up to me and puppy kisses which makes me giggle and says, "Mommy, I make you happy!!"
John is sometimes a little predictable and Megan has caught onto that too. One night Megan wanted a popsicle and sometimes John likes to ask her if she's sure, then really sure, then really, really sure. Well, Megan was a couple steps ahead of him because she said, "Daddy, I want a papasicle. I'm sure, I'm really sure, and I'm really, really sure!!!" Then, she proceeded to take me by the hand to the garage door so I could get to the freezer. She told me, "Go on. You can do it. Go on!"
Megan is totally amusing us lately with all her little expressions and sayings. Here are a few of them that I can think of off the top of my head:
- Mommy, your necklace is adordaful!
- Shh, no talk to me (When she doesn't like what we're saying, of course!)
- Where going tomorrow? Where Mommy, Owen, Megan going tomorrow?
- It's like this, remember? Owen, that's my toy, remember?
- Yep, Rachel's here alright!
- Tell me... (when I ask her what she wants and she wants to hear the choices)
- There, that's better.
- Whew, that was a close one!
- What does it taste like? "Good!"
Glad I'm not the only one who dumps the kids off at Grandma's to be able to really clean...and have a clean room for more than 5 minutes.
