Funnies: First Half of July Wrap-Up

I thought we'd do a little funnies post this wonderful Monday to get everyone in a fabulous mood for the work week.  And here are smiles from my three here to get us rolling (this was from our lazy 4th of July morning!)  I wish they would always be so cheery!  

Also from the 4th of July is this picture of Megan when she took over my picture-taking duties.  All I have to say is I got a lot of low-quality pictures of people's mid-sections and feet.  But she had fun and the camera survived!

Owen says, "Mom, this risotto is so good, just feed me with the spatula!"

 

I guess all this orange got to her head!  When we walked into Home Depot the kids said they wanted orange balloons - they were in luck!

Megan has been proving to be quite the body-builder lately.  Without even asking she is lifting watermelons off of countertops, taking the stir crazy popcorn popper and then a 15-pound bowling ball last night!  (Bowling ball was not very funny... she only lifted it up three inches but when it dropped it burned out three lights in our chandelier downstairs!)

Megan and I had a couple mall outings the weekend before last.  That Saturday we went to get Owen's pictures taken and then off to find her a flower girl dress!  We found one right away at Sears that she loves and wouldn't even look at any other dresses after that.  I needed a dress too and we went the next day together.  I ran through a couple little girl sections to see if I could find a different flower girl dress I liked better but she kept telling me, "I already have one.  We're need a dress for you, remember!"  I ended up trying a dress on at Maurice's.  I told Megan that I was going to go ask the other lady what she thought of it but she piped up and said, "But Mommy, what about me?"  Megan said it looked good :)

At our church friends' house last week Megan was digging in their sandbox like a wild woman.  I asked her why sand was flying everywhere and she said she was trying to dig like a pirate!

John had his laptop setup in our bedroom a few days last week.  That means that there were a couple cords connecting the laptop to the wall.  Megan thought it was pretty cool when she found that the cords could be pulled apart (laptop cord and extension cord) and she could run through like it was a finish line!

The kids pulled John's Goldy Gopher bobblehead down off a shelf yesterday.  Megan asked what his name was and told her it was Goldy.  Poor thing... his name is now "Goldilocks"!

Out of the blue one night Megan said, "If you and Daddy both die I will get a new Mommy and Daddy."  Not quite sure what to think of that I asked her if she wanted a new Mommy and Daddy.  Her response?  "No, not yet...."  I realize I'm not always the most pleasant of Mommies but I hope she always wants me to be hers!

One night last week I put Megan to bed in her own toddler bed.  John and I were watching TV downstairs and I knew I heard rustling several times upstairs.  Megan never came down so I wrote it off as me hearing noises next door.  When we went upstairs to bed something looked odd...  Door to kid room was open, door to our bedroom was closed and there was a little girl sleeping in our bed!!!  Oh, how I love this bedtime stuff!!!  Actually, I am convinced she will not sleep by herself until we get a new house so she can have a big bed and her own room!  Ugh...  It might be time to get the sleeping bag back out - I had to pack it away so I could have a place to put my keyboard since I'm doing some church music again...
