Funny Talk

Some funny things the kids are saying now.
Ella: mapkin (napkin)
"I need you to carry me, I can't carry myself."
Ella was holding her hair in a side ponytail and my dad said "Is that your Princess Leia hair?" So then when people would call Ella she would say "My name is Leah. E-l-r, Leah."
"Last day" This can be used for anything done previously. Previously that day, week, minute, whatever. Such as "Ella will you please go potty before we leave." and Ella's response "I already went last day!"
Natalie: while walking to the park I was in the street and the girls were on the sidewalk "Mom, get out of the guts!" (the gutter)
my dad bought a hummingbird feeder and Natalie comes running in the house "Mom, Grandpa got a hummingbird feeder fooder!"

I've Been Tagged

THREE OF MY.....

Joys:

1. My family. I love spending time with my husband and kids. They are the most important things to me in this world and I can't imagine life without them. It seems that there is never enough time for us to do things together but I am always grateful when we do. We are also lucky to live near lots of our extended family (really close to my family at the moment).

2. My friends. While I wouldn't classify myself as a social butterfly I do love the few close friends that I have. Some I have had pretty much since birth and I consider them family. Others are more recent and continue to be my friend even if I am weird, silly, crabby, etc.

3. A beautiful day. I love waking up and the sky is blue, flowers a blooming, birds are chirping and is is sometime after 6:30!

Fears:

1. Having my husband or one of my kids die.

2. Driving over bridges or up mountains with big drop offs on the side.

3. Public speaking, not being liked/accepted, heights, spiders, there are more but that is a good start.

Goals:

1. To get in shape and stay that way.

2. Discover my talent. It seems like most of mine are things like punctual, organized, dependable, etc. Right now I am working on photography and really hope that something comes of it.

3. Catch up on scrapbooking.

Obsessions:

1. Chocolate. I pretty much think this is the perfect food and can be eaten anytime of day and count as a meal.

2. As I am sitting here thinking about what to write being clean came to my mind. I like my house to be clean, my kids to be clean (at least at some point), my car to be clean, etc. But then I thought "I have really let that slide since having three kids." Oh well.

3. Recording my kids life through pictures, blogging and scrapbooking . I want to remember all the cute and even not so cute things they do.

Random Facts:

1. I really like to eat and don't mind cooking, but I hate menu planning. I would much rather have a chef than a cleaning lady.

2. I danced in the Nutcracker three times with the professional ballet company. And yet I can't dance whatsoever today.

3. I faint every time I give blood. And not only do I faint, but I have these weird (or so I have heard) seizures when I faint. So basically I don't give blood anymore.

I now tag Chiara, Candice and Joanna.
