probably rather have...

Me: come eat lunch sweetie.. look peanut butter just like mommy!
Anna: well, I probably rather have pizza

I wanted to say.. you're two! You don't get "probably rather haves" yet! But I just laughed and said Mommy already made peanut butter. Maybe we'll have pizza for supper!

Anna has since used her "probably rather haves" very wisely. Just so you know for the future she would probably rather have ice cream than a fruit slush and she'd probably rather have chicken than pizza!

Another favorite phrase lately is "that's awesome"... here are some cell phone shots of what Anna has labelled "Awesome":



Her (oh so very) abstract artwork- "Awesome!"



Her new found love for dressing EVERY animal/doll we have up- "Awesome!"



Bubble baths in the big jacuzzi tub- "Awesome!"... Also- just incase you're blonde like me.. if you turn the jets on when only some of the jets are under water then they suck in air and launch water out at your face like rockets- you, your child and the entire bathroom will be soaked in about 2 seconds! I thought Anna would be traumatized for sure but again she said... "That was Awesome... and hilarious". It was hilarious for sure!! She is still talking about when Mommy got all wet in her face!



Caroline rolling over - "Awesome".. still.. and she still wants to take a picture every time!
rabbit trail- in this photo.. caroline is wearing 12month clothes. Anna wore the shirt last week!!! She also wore this exact outfit at 11months!! Crazy?... YES!!



Probably rather have a shower over a bath... they are just "Awesome!"

We've been having fits and fights with the common cold these past couple weeks. Sneezing, Coughing, Hacking, Gagging, Throwing up... in that order! All together with sore throats, ear infection (in Caroline), attitude infection (in Anna and Mommy), a little fever, late nights, little sleep and lots of medicine... and my new favorite "AWESOME" gadget:



YES!!! The battery operated nasal syringe.. best $20 you'll ever spend on snot!!!
Casey's Aunt.. "Dr. Betty" told me about it and it truly has saved us!! Casey would tell you I'm addicted to it.. every time one of the girls starts to cough (because of the nasal drainage dripping down their throats) I run and get the "nasalclear"... Anna hasn't quite labelled it "Awesome" yet.. she more runs and hides under the bed and finally comes out with an m&m bribe or something.. but Caroline and I think it's Awesome!!

It's on my "baby shower" gift giving list for sure!!

I realize I have TOTALLY been slacking off on the whole blog thing.
This was especially obvious when my 12 year old niece commented (Oh, Aunt Molly. I loved this month's blog).. THIS MONTH's!!! Well, here is something that may cheer you up:



I've added "BLOG POST" to my weekly check off chore list.

Yes I'm and OCD "list checker off-er".. if it's on the list it WILL get done because I simply cannot stand to not scratch off every single thing for that day!

Mondays are my MAJOR cleaning days... I'm going to try and Blog on these SWEET days but this week I didn't think it would happen so I put it down for Thursday. Since I'm early.. maybe I'll try for two this week!!!

Y'all have a HappyWeek!!

Oh.... and HAPPY 1/2 Birthday Sweet Caroline!!!! 6 Months today!
