We hosted our Community Group meeting at our house one week in June. Although Megan did not do well when all her friends were over and they were playing with her toys, she was sure excited before they actually came. She said, "My friends will be here just like at church!" I felt bad for an older little boy at the gathering who was bored with the little girl things and kept asking if we had a Wii he could play - no, we had to watch our lesson on their shortly - and if there was a tree house in our back yard - I wish we had a backyard!
I think Megan's starting to realize that our house isn't as big as other people's. Lately she's been saying that she wants a BASEMENT for her birthday! I ask her what it will look like and she describes my parents' basement: 2 rooms, a window, steps and lots of toys!
We had to drive down a long gravel road to get to my aunt and uncle's house for a fish fry a couple weeks ago. Because of Busytown Mysteries Megan was so worried we were going to get a flat tire the entire time!
Megan likes to give puppy kisses. Megan likes to blow and catch kisses. But did you know you can blow puppy kisses? Yep! Just lick the back of your hand and blow on it!
Megan: Mommy, why do we have to shut the garage door? So the mouse won't get in?
Megan: Mommy, can I have some fruit snacks? (asked first thing in the morning)
Me: I will give you fruit snacks to bring to Grandma Gennrich's house today.
Megan: No! Grandma will tell me I have to eat lunch first!
Megan was having a hard time getting to bed one night and ended up watching a recorded Celebrity Apprentice with us. Well, this episode had Dennis Rodman on it who was dressed up in his finest sparkily attire and eye shadow. Megan's commented, "Why he talking like a man?" I told her that he was a man. She said, "Oh, I thought he was a lady!"
I told Megan that Mommy was moving to a new spot to sit at work. Right away Megan wanted to come see my new desk. But I think she had other motives. "I visit Mom at work and watch Disney Junior on Kim's computer and get snacks and treats!"
John's softball team was short on girls one night and I got roped in to playing. I saw Becca's Facebook post earlier that day asking for girls and when I left for the game that evening I purposely did not look for any of my gear. John called me when I was about half way to the game and asked if I heard about the girl shortage. I told him yes but there was no way I could play since I was in flip flops and was not wearing a sports bra. He told me that, yes, I was prepared to play. He packed my shirt, shorts, sports bra, glove, socks and shoes but he would only ask me to play if they definitely needed an extra girl. I got stuck in traffic big time during the drive that I didn't even care that I did have to play once I arrived - I was kind of in the mood to hit something! Megan was so sweet during the game. I played catcher and she cheered me on with every ball I had to throw back to the pitcher. I struck out twice and then had a fly out. Megan's response? "Mommy, you forgot to run!!!" Sorry Meg - Mommy forgot to hit the ball!
John's been recording Busytown Mysteries for Megan from the TV so we don't have to watch it on Netflix. But with the TV version come commercials and infomercials. I'm not sure that the infomercials are the best for her. She doesn't want us to fast forward through them and we should let the TV do it on its own. Silly girl just wants to watch the demonstration for the perfect pancake maker! I think for Christmas this year she is just going to get As Seen on TV items!
Megan forgot her headband at Grandma and Grandpa Lewis's house. I told her not to worry and Grandma would hold onto it and babysit it for her until the next time she visited. Jokingly, I told her that maybe Grandpa was wearing it. She said, "Noooooo! Grandpa doesn't have any hair!"
One night as I was tucking Megan into bed I said, "Goodnight little friend." She replied with, "Goodnight big friend. I mean, medium friend!"
Some of my favorite Megan sayings right now are:
- "What kind of Grandma?" She says this when we tell her that Grandma is coming over or we are going to Grandma's house. Guess we have to be specific!
- "I had it a second ago" She says this when we are looking for something and just can't seem to find it.
- "Just lucky I guess" This is used quite often when I ask her questions like: How did you know ___?
Megan is very friendly with kids in the neighborhood. This is a conversation between Megan and a neighborhood girl earlier this week:
Megan: Hi. What's your name?
Girl: My name is Abby.
Megan: *Gasp and face lit up*
Girl: What's your name.
Megan: My name's Megan and this is my brother Owen.
Girl: That's a nice name.
(I proceeded to tell the girl that Megan knows a dog named Abby.)
Megan: You have a dog too?
Girl: Yes, I have two dogs named (I forgot the first one) and Buddy.
Megan: *Face lights up again* This is my little buddy! (she points to Owen)
Girl: I'm going to go inside and see my sister now. (she runs inside her house)
Megan: Oh, I hope I can go to her house sometime!
Before we go, here are a few pictures extra pictures from the month.
Scout and Violet all ready to go!
