Naes News: The Horse Fair

I wasn't sure if I should add this one, but what the heck. I'll do it as innocently as possible. Daryl came into the living room by Olivia and I and asked me what holiday it was. Apparently there is some holiday that men are trying to create and I knew instantly by the smirk on his face that he was referring to that specific holiday. I replied "Steak and BJ day?" If you don't know what that abbreviation means, call me. I don't want to get in trouble with the internet :) Olivia hearing us immediately replied "Steak and P J? That doesn't sound very good"

Olivia noticed me vacuuming and decided to help. She pulled out her toy vacuum and starting vacuuming with me. She decided to get a head start and move to the bedrooms. Meanwhile, I was still in the living room when I noticed my vacuum smelled like rubber was burning. I turned it off, layed it sideways, and began pulling out all the carpet threads and hair off the roller which made a huge mess on the floor. Olivia came back into the living room by me and noticed my vacuum cleaner laying on the floor and a huge messy pile next to it. Olivia said "mom, you need a vacuum cleaner like I have, no fuss no muss"

Livy's Comment of the Day

Grandma was babysitting Livy. Livy came running out of the bathroom (toilet flushed) and said "Grandma, I pooped in the potty" (we have been working on that with her and if she does, she gets a treat) Grandma said "can I see?" Livy said, "I already flushed it". Grandma told her what a good girl she was and Livy got to pick out a piece of candy from the candy jar. Livy was sitting at the table, candy gone, and said "Grandma, I'm sad". Grandma asked why. Livy said "Grandma, I didn't poop in the potty" Grandma said "did you tell grandma a lie?" Livy walked up to grandma, put her hand on grandma's cheek and said "it's ok grandma, it's not in this world, you can be happy."

Olivia has been begging for me to buy the new blue barbi peacock dress for her to wear at her upcoming birthday. I explained to her that mom didn't have money to buy it at that time. She said "Ok, will you think about it?" I told her I would. This morning Olivia came into our bedroom, jumped up on the bed, layed on top of daddy and smothered him with hugs and kisses. Daryl of course told her he loves all the love he was getting. Olivia said "Dad, do you have money so I can have that blue barbi dress for my birthday?" What did daddy say??? Can I have a little more loving? Of course Olivia smothered him again and he gave in. A girl who knows how to work it!!

The Horse Fair

We went to the Horse Fair in Madison this past weekend. It was Olivia's first. She loved seeing all the horses and of course got a new pink cowgirl hat. I had to include the picture of Livy carrying the bag of popcorn that was as big as she was. She thought it was just for her too.
