She is currently shaving her beard ... with snow. ???
$50.00 was spent after locating nummies on Ebay. I am ashamed. Em will be happy (watch, right after they come she says "but I am a big girl, I don't need nummies anymore." ugh!)

I am trying to decide what to do for her birthday. Her THIRD birthday. It's a big one. She says she wants a pink one. But then she also tells me another time, she wants something entirely different, so really she has been no help.

I was thinking of getting her a budgie bird for her birthday, but she doesn't seem to enthusiastic about that idea. So then I thought, maybe I would take her to see O'Donel's production of the Wizard of Oz because she LOVES her some "Dortay." When I went to look up the ticket information and what not's for the show, I also found that the Wunderbolt Circus will be here. Now I am hard pressed to decide between the two.

Which would she like more?

I need a magical Birthday fairy!

Sunday Stealing Starrlight meme, in other words .. tired!

1. What was the last thing you put in your mouth? Halls cough drop. Ugh.

2. Where was your profile picture taken? Haven't got one uploaded, but usually they are of Em and can be taken just about anywhere.

3. Can you play Guitar Hero? Yes.

4. Name someone who made you laugh today. What was it about? Em. Picking out her own clothes and choosing a old jumper I bought for her niece back when I was university. It is size 12 months, then pairing it with her silver Hannah Montana belt. AWESOME! The jumper is bright red.

5. How late did you stay up last night and why? 2:00am. I was watching Yes Man. Falling asleep and gave up at 2. It was not worth it any longer.

6. If you could move somewhere else where would you and why? To a house of my own. With no other people. Where I could have hardwood floors in the main rooms but carpet in bedrooms. Where I could have things as I want. But alas that is a dream for yet another while I am sure. No use to complain.

7. Ever been kissed under fireworks? Probably.

12. Who took your profile picture? Me most likely. IF there was one.

13. Who was the last person you took a picture of? Em in the van after ballet.

19. Night out or night in? In please.

25. If we were to look in your Facebook inbox, what would we find? A lot of junk with one or two messages worth saving but for the most part, junk.

28. What song is stuck in your head? There three sad souls, oh me oh my. No brain, no heart, he's much too shy. But never mind you three. Here's the Wizard as you can see. He'll fix that one two three, in the funny place called the world of Oz. Oh the world of Oz is a funny funny place where everyone wears a funny funny face. All the streets are paved in golden and no one ever grows olden. In that funny land lives the Wizard of Oz.

29. Someone knocks on your window at 2 a.m., whom do you want it to be? Nobody. I do not want anybody knocking on my door at 2am.

Lifes more fun when you raise your arms .. like this


So, the niece and nephew are here running around going crazy. No really they are going crazy. The oldest one (7) is going to a birthday party shortly and the younger one (4) isn't going. It's a school birthday so, you know, thats the way the cake crumbles. Anyhow the two of them were sitting on the floor rolling Em's big ball back and forth when the bigger one keeps the ball. Little one retaliates by biting her. Big one says "well I am not bringing you home a lootbag or anything" and little one flips. Freaks out and screams "But I love those things."

I make the mistake of saying "Boy you guys are mental today" simply just meaning their behaviour is crazy and out of hand (hindsight with my language use always bites me in the end.) I didn't notice Em sitting down having a ball with her Nintendogs game (yep I let my two year old play with a ds, shoot me for being a bad mom later) until she stands up and says "You guys are mental!" I roll my eyes and think great, now look what I did.

All that aside, here are some Friday Felicities ...


1. Em starting Ballet. I have waited two years for this and now it's here.
2. Easily getting Em to take a nap daily by telling her we will party all night :P
3. Watching many different versions of the Wizard of Oz with Em.
4. It is all that much closer to next Thursday (nothing special happens then though go figure)
5. Finding Karen Alloy, because wow! is she hilarious! And an Emmy winner too!

The things they say ...

Yesterday, while I was working on some painting, Em wanted to do some too. Unfortunately, this was rather important work that would not take kindly to her toddler squiggles. I suggested she get some markers and draw, and so off she went. She chose her colours carefully, like any good artist would.

On one such occasion she chose a darkish reddish brown colour and looked it over a few times. Logically, we asked her what the colour was to which she replied "hot dog!"

Now I know Crayola has been coming out with some fabulously named colours (which I think really just must be regular colours given new fancy names) like Inchworm, Atomic Orange and Unmellow Yellow. But hot dog? Yeah that takes the cake.

:D
