Monday Funny Catch-Up

I was sick again last week and it just feels like it won't leave.  I am just hoping it doesn't return!  Megan's been pretty cute lately so I want to catch up on most of the funnies I can remember before I forget everything!

Last Monday morning as I was driving the kids in to their Lewis Grandparents' house Megan said she was hungry.  I had grabbed the bag of cut up apples that was left over from church the day before and handed it back to her.  I was surprised that she wasn't eating any of it and she said she wanted to save it and eat it when we got there.  I was kind of hungry and wanted just a couple slices but Megan kept telling me no every time I asked her.  Finally she said, "I know, Mom. Grandma will give you grapes if you want and you can eat them at work!"  Grandma was able to split the apples into two bags but Megan whispered in my ear that "now there's not enough apples for me". And you know what?  Her bag of apples came right back home with her...

Owen has been teething something awful lately.  Megan thinks his getting teeth is so cool.  Last weekend this is what she was telling everyone: "Owen's getting teeth.  And he's getting hair too!!"

Tuesday I stayed home with the kids because I was sick and Grandpa Lewis had a sore throat as well.  I told Megan that her and Owen had to stay home with me that day because Papa was sick.  Logically, she replied with, "Yep.  And Grandma and Keeper and Abby and the cats too!"

The kids kept me hopping on Tuesday.  I think we did everything but bake a cake that day.  One of the highlights was our mani-pedi session.  We sat on the floor and pulled up our pant legs so Megan could paint our toes.  I admit that I hadn't shaved my legs probably all month due to not feeling well and just winter in general.  Megan took one look at my legs and excitedly exclaimed, "Mommy, your legs look like Daddies!"  She thought it was so cool... 

Megan also found a tube of chapstick on Tuesday.  She kept applying it and twisting it out further and further.  I told her it would break - and guess what?  It did!  Right away Megan said, "Oh no.  Daddy will be real disappointed."  Every time she saw the broken chapstick I got the same 'disappointed' response.  Pretty sure Daddy's mostly disappointed with you not listening to Mommy tell you to stop, Megan!

Owen cracks me up when he grabs hold of a remote, aims it at the TV, pushes a few buttons then looks in that general direction waiting for a sound.  He's going to have the remotes all figured out at a younger age than his sister!

Bath night again on Wednesday.  I already had Owen out and in bed but Megan stayed in extra long to do finger paints.  One of her other favorite bathtub things is swimming like a mermaid.  That night she told me I could leave my shirt on and pants on and still put my legs in the tub to be a mermaid too.  I always love when I get pampered while taking care of the kids.  And luckily she didn't comment on my leg hair again :)

"Megan, why are you throwing those things on the floor?"  These are the kind of responses we are getting lately.... "Because I love you!"  Can't argue with that one, huh?

Bedtime routines are both quite frustrating and comical lately.  More than a handful of times in the last couple weeks it's taken close to two hours to get her to fall asleep.  Even though it has been quite entertaining.  I've found out that either John or I need to brush our teeth with her to put her mind at ease.  The other part of our nightly routine is having Megan put on the heater in her room to "cool it down".  She also has not only one but two cups of water at bedtime - one for each book!

Lastly, Megan spent a great portion of Saturday morning playing with water.  She likes to pour water back and forth in her tea set but she also likes to fill her Tupperware cups up with water in the bathroom too.  I gave her a tall bench so she could fill up the cups on her own and then she would dump the water into the toilet.  When I asked her how she was doing she replied with, "I'm just fine, Mom.  I'm in my workshop!"  True Lewis there, right?

My 3 Musketeers!

Waiting for Sunday School to begin.  She's really more excited about it than it looks :)

Megan, I said to give Owen some puffs, not all the puffs!!!!
