It's about time I blog again! I keep forgetting about it and then when I think of it again, I am busy doing something else. Anywho, to catch up on what's been happening around here I'll have to back up almost a week I guess.
On Saturday evening, Mom brought Allie back home. I was SO happy to have her home. I missed her like crazy. My mom said that they had to fight her to get ready to come home on Saturday morning because Allie decided she wanted to stay a "monf." When she did finally get home I think she realized that she did miss us a little more than she thought and she was happy to be home.
On Sunday, Brandon had to work so Mom and us girls went out to shop a little bit. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to get out of the house. My mom went home on Monday and we hated to see her go. Allie cried and begged her to stay for a month. I felt so sorry for her. I can't wait for the day that we live closer to home and we can visit anytime we feel like it.
We have decided that Brylee is definitely going to be our little hand full. She has such a temper and she is the most determined little thing I have ever seen. She will not take no for an answer. Her favorite thing is to press keys on the keyboard laptop. We can tell her no and move her hand a million times and it doesn't phase her! When Allie was a baby, I only had to tell her no once or twice and she would listen to me. Not this girl! That's ok, she can use that hard-headedness and determination for good one day if we do a good job in raising her :-)
This is totally not related to anything else I have talked about, but we have recently made a new rule that we eat our meals at the table. Shocking and revolutionary, right?! Well, before this we would always just make our plates and eat in front of the tv. I got tired of the messes and trying to keep Brylee out of everybody's plate and also the fact that we spend 85% of our day already in front of the tv so we made the rule. It has been going so well and everyone loves it. Brylee loves to sit in the high chair and eat. Allie loves to sit in her chair at the table and Brandon and I love the extra family time that it gives us. I am also loving the conversations that none of us being distracted is leading to. Allie was talking about Daddy closing his eyes and talking. I asked her if she was talking about him praying and she said yes. I asked her if she knew who he was talking to when he prays. She asked who and I told her it was God. She asked me where God lived and where Jesus lived. I told her Jesus lived in heaven and in our hearts. She said, "well, he's not in my heart." I replied that he could be if she wanted him there and all she had to do was ask." She closed her little eyes and said "I want Jesus to live in my heart." Sweetest thing ever!
There have also been some funny things said at the dinner table lately too. I always joke with her and call her things like goofy goober or something like that and she will call me that back just to be silly. Well we were sitting there and I called her a fart blossom. She laughed, but Brandon told her to tell me that we aren't supposed to say fart because it isn't nice. She said "yeah, mommy. We are supposed to say toot. Call me a toot blossom." Maybe it was only funny at the time, but Brandon and I just thought this was funniest thing.
I'm sure there has been more funny stuff that I just can't remember. I am going to try to make it a point to post every night if I don't keep forgetting haha!
