Happy Days: June 2011

So I opened my kitchen drawer and realized that it looked just like a page out of an eye spy book.

Can you find...
A dominoe
a princess
a paintset
a pair of scissors

Ok... I guess I should clean it out.

Now, if the rest of my house could be this organized.

Memorable Moments

Madi and Ty were playing hide and seek. Tyli would count perfectly to ten then yell, "Knock, knock! Here I come!" (2.21.10)
"Mom, I know what 4 + D is. 4D (40). (2.18.10)
Jon gave me flowers for Valentine's Day. Madi's response was, "Oohhh! Daddy gave you flowers. He must Luuuuuvvvvvv you." (In her most ooey gooey voice.) She then proceeded to tell me every single flower gift she has every recieved. (2.14.10)
"Mom! My messy face is not clean!"- Tyli (1.21.10)
We went to eat at Red Robin a while ago. As we were being seated there was a large statue of the Statue of Liberty (holding a hamburger.) Tyli looks up at it and yells, "Look! It's Jesus!" Maybe a little sacraligious, but I'm still laughing about it. (1.16.10)
After a long day, Madi was whining for a treat. I told her I'd give her a treat, I'd give her a kick in the pants. She replied (very whiny) "Nooooo! Thaaat's not a treat!" (1.4.09)
A three year old is very repetitive. EVERY time we drive by a place we have been Tyli will point it out. We went to the light parade this year and each time we drive by the spot Ty points it out. "Look mom! The "harade". As we pass Madi's soccer field, "Look mom! Madi's socco ball." As we pass the firestation, "Look mom! The firetruck " As we pass the field that we watched Brooklyn's soccer game, "Look mom! Brookie's socco game." She also loves to point out the track that I run at, the dragon waterslide we rode and the amusement park we visited. You would think it would get old, but I laugh every single time. (1.1.09)
The other day Tyli and I walked from the store to the car. (It was all of fifty feet.) Once we got to the car Tyli gave a great big sigh, wiped her forhead and said "Phew!". I guess fity feet is a lot further to a two year old. (11.09)
I am LOVING the way Tyli talks right now! Just the ways she asks for "churgar" on her cereal every morning, or the way she calls for "Baddy" (Madi) or "Badison" or says "tan't" (can't) or "towd" (cold) or "biowin" (violin). Sigh. Does she really have to grow up? (11.09)
Madi was using the restroom the other day and this is what I heard, " BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Toilet paper alarm! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Toilet paper alarm!" I swear! I hope she doesn't do these things at other people's homes! (11.09)
After work Jon was asking Madi how her day went. He also asked her if she had been a good girl. She responded, "Yeah, I was was good...well, except for when I was a little bit naughty." (11.09)
Tyli is obsessed with Cinderalla. She watches the movie every day. She loves her Cinderalla dress which she also wears every single day. Some days the dress goes on and off ten times. The other day she came down stairs wearing her Cinderalla dress and I said, "OH Tyli!" She was very upset and told me "Mom don't "oh" me! Mom! Don't "Oh" me!" (10.09)
The other day I told Tyli she is "so silly!" She responded, "I not silly, I Tyli!" (10.09)
Madi was trying to explain something to me and she was getting confused. She told me, "Mom, my thoughts are all tied up in knots!" (9.09)
Tyli loves her binky! Unfortunately we all know (or hope) that one day she will be binky free. We are planning on taking her to the toy store where she can "buy" something with her binky. After that, no more binky. It will be rough! We've been prepping her though. So last night we were talking about it and I asked her what she wanted to buy with her binky. Her response...another binky! We are in trouble! (9.03.09)
Carver, Parker and Madi were having a sleepover. They were up giggling all night. Finally I went to see what they were up to. Madi and Carver were hugging. I asked what in the world they were doing. "I'm being Carver's Teddy Bear!" Madi replied. (7.26.09)
We were hanging out with Parker, Brooklyn, Madi and Carver. Brooklyn and Parker were talking about having a crush on people. Carver asked, "What is a crush?" Madi replied, " You know, it's when someone smushes you." (7.25.09)
Tyli is talking more and more. I think we will be able to avoid speech therapy. :) I love the way she can say " Mommy" in such a way that she hits every pitch on a scale. She starts high, goes low, and then comes back up. I also love how she adds the short "i" sound to words. Like horse is "ho-is" and wait is "wa-it". I also love it when she runs from me saying "missed me!" Too cute! (2-09)
As many of you know I love doing my girls hair. Madi will brag to her friends that her mommy learned to do hair on her barbie when she was little. It's true! Some days Madi will be perfect while I do her hair. I can twist and twirl it to my heart's desire. The next day she'll cry at just the thought of having her hair done. So one day I asked her, "Madi, how come some days you are so good when I'm doing your hair and some days you cry and cry? What makes the difference?" After thinking about it for a minute she answered, "Chocolate!" She just happened to be eating some at the moment. So I guess I have two questions. One, is she a little young to have figured out the secret to life? Two, is it OK to give a four year old half a chocolate bar every day while I do her hair? (2-09)
Madi- "Today we watched the saddest show at school." Of course I was concerned so I asked what show it was. Then, almost crying, she replies, "It was about a little boy who became best friends with a snowman. Then at the end of the show the snowman melted." This sweet little girl has such a tender heart! I don't know anyone else who would get so broken up over a melted snowman. (1.09)
Tyli has started to love saying prayers. She folds her arms and then whispers things we don't understand. We think it's the best prayer we have ever heard. (1.09)
Madi- " I know what Tyli's birthday is. It's Christmas the eleventh. Aren't you so proud of me that I know that?" (1.09)
Madi- One day we were hanging out with Meagan, Sarah, Lizzy and Ben in Ben's room. Madi says, "Look mom! This is Ben's diarrea!" She had meant to say diary. We all started laughing we thought is was so funny. Madi was so embarrased and started crying. The next day I tried to talk to her about it. To let her know that we all say and do funny things and can laugh at ourselves. She was still so embarrased she started crying again! I'll try again next year. Maybe she'll think it's funny then. (12.08)
Tyli- Jon and I love to whisper to Tyli. If you whisper in her ear, she'll whisper some funny sounds back. The other night Jon whispered in her ear "I love you!" Tyli whispered back perfectly in Jon's ear, "No!" That's Ty for ya. No to everything! (12.03.08)
Madi- "Mom I love you! You are the coolest mom ever!" Wow! Talk about an ego boost. I just take them when I get them. (11.15.08)
Madi- "So, whoever forgot to get the sugar for the cereal, has to be the one to get the sugar for the cereal." This is especially funny considering I am the only one who ever gets the sugar. Hmmmmm. I wonder who she is referring to? (8.28.08)
Tyli- Today Tyli called me "Do-di" all day. (10.27.08)
Tyli- Mom asks, "Tyli, do you always so "no" because I am always saying no to you?" Tyli responds, "NO!!" (10.26.08)
Tyli- Whenever I starting singing (and for those of you who know me, that is ALL the time!), Tyli puts her finger up to her mouth and says, "SSHHH!" Should I take it personal? (10.12.08)
Madi- "Mom, Tyli is shakin' her boobies!' She meant "boodie." (10.01.08)
Tyli- "No! Mine! This!" Welcome to the next year of my life. (9.27.08)
Madi; "pasghetti, hurted, bumgall, esited" (9.27.08)
Madi- "At school when I don't get chosen, I have a sad face on the inside, but I use a happy face on the outside." (9.18.08)
Madi- "Daddy, I love going to church because all of my friends use such good manners to me." (9.7.08)
Tyli- "Wall-E" She serously says it with the exact intonation that they use in the movie. Did robot speech come from one year olds? (9.5.08)
Madi - "Mommy, I love you even when I'm gone." (8.13.08)
Tyli - (Trying to tell her dad about her day.) "I (points to her eye) MMM (went) uh (swimming.)" Close, let's try again. "I (points to her eye) bop (went) momming (swimming)." So close! (8.13.08)
