What a week this has been! We have been running around like our hair is on fire! (I stole that from a friend, who wrote it in an email and I literally laughed out loud at the mental picture! Apparently I am very easily entertained.)
Anyway...
This weekend is going to be just as busy, so I'll have to hold off on posting for a couple of days until it settles down. But I'll leave you with this teaser...
B and I are going to a fancy hotel tonight for an "industry event" for his work. It is formal and we get to get all dressed up. I'll be sure to post a picture later of the fanciness. I'm just excited to sleep past 6:30 and not wake up to a little munchkin telling me that it's "day because it's light outside" and she "just can't wait until 7:00".
Not that I don't love that wake up call. Ugh...
So here's a couple of quick Lauryn-isms until I can post the really good stuff later!
1.) A while back we were driving and Allison was fussing because I left her pacifier at home. I had resorted to using the time tested technique called ignoring her. But Lauryn was much more compassionate.
She looked over at her and said, "Allie! Chill, baby!" (except "baby" was pronounced "bay-beh")
I'm not sure I can convey in words how hilarious that little "accent" was. Where did she hear that!??
2). I was in the kitchen the other day and I heard Lauryn call out, "Rosita!!!! I found you!!" I turned to see her grab Allison's hand and lead her down the hall to her bedroom. She proceeded to call Allison "Rosita" for the next couple of hours.
Not a clue where that came from either. Apparently there is some outside source heavily influencing my child. I'm at a loss.
3). Finally, an oldie but a goodie... We were walking around the downtown square visiting my parents around Halloween. There were pumpkins set up outside all the stores. We passed one store whose pumpkin had been knocked off the bale of hay and had unfortunately smashed onto the sidewalk.
Lauryn immediately stopped, bent down to the pumpkin's level, and said, "Oh, are you ok, darlin'?"
Have a great weekend!

The bay-beh came from dear Macy, I'm afraid. That's how she pronounces it when she sings her booty shake song:
Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake
Shake your booty
Show me how you do it bay-beh!
(We try to correct the bay-beh b/c she sounds like a young Britney and we can't be having any of that)
I'm afraid that she learned that song from me. I get all of those booty-movin' songs stuck in my head from the gym.
Gregg's been calling Macy "Little Tracy" lately....
Now the Rosita cracks me up! Can't claim that!
Have a wonderful evening with Brent tonight!
Have fun at your event! Love the Laurynisms...especially that last one. That made me LOL!!
