The Tudors Countdown Widget
I worked on Saturday and left Daryl a list of things around the house that needed to be done. Sunday I found out that Olivia and Daryl went to Menards. I asked Olivia what did daddy buy at Menards? Olivia said "Daddy didn't buy anything, he didn't follow his honey-do list."
It is supper time and Olivia was eating pistachios in the shell. I said "Olivia, the pistachios are not your supper tonight" Olivia said "I know they aren't for supper mom, they are just for joy"
Livy and Jenna were playing with dolls, and Jenna's doll threw something into Livy's doll's hair. Livy said "OHHHH, now she'll have to wash her hair 50 hundred times", Jenna said, "WOW, that is a lot of times"
Livy was playing with play doh at the table and rolling up paper and standing it up on the table. She asked me to roll out her play doh flat for her. I did it and handed it to her. She said "Thanks mom, it will be part of my contraption." Where is she getting these words from???
Olivia listens to us way too much. Today Olivia, Jenna, and Daryl were in the kitchen...Daryl was making supper while he was talking on the phone. The girls of course were being talkative at the table. Daryl was goofing around by the table and Livy turned to him and said "Dad, that is NOT NECESSARY"
I know my widget is up.....but I can't bear to take it off. It is sooooo neat. Maybe when I find something of Tudors to replace it with I'll give it up.....or not. :)
Livy and I were outside digging out dead flowers from the flower pots. I told Livy to get her claw gardening tool to mix up the dirt and prepare it for new flowers. Livy replied "I'll take care of the compost mom." No clue where she got that word from.
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 was playing with her dolls which included a mom, grandma, and two babies. The mom and grandma were talking and Olivia had the mother say "these are my two children, children are a big responsibility!"
Olivia heard me earlier in the day mentioning that Daryl and I might go to dance class tonight. Later, Olivia came up to me and asked "mom, when you and your husband go to dance, who will watch me?"
Olivia has gotten into telling jokes lately. Her favorite is telling about the chicken or other animal crossing the road, and finishes it with something goofy, like "why did the chicken cross the road...because he had butterflies on his tootie butt." Something like that. So I decided to tell her the joke the right way...I said "Olivia, why did the chicken cross the road?" Olivia asked why? "To get to the other side". Olivia said "That's not funny mom"
We all woke up this morning, Daryl, Olivia, and I in our bed. Daryl asked Olivia to lay on his back to help stretch it out. She wouldn't, so I layed on his back. Olivia then layed on my back and there we were. I said to Olivia, look it's a family sandwich. You and daddy are the buns and mom is the meat. Olivia said, no mom, you and I are the buns and dad is the jam :)
Because of being sick I had either layed down or sat up for an entire 6 days and did not do much else. Normally I'm running all around the house doing something. On the 6th day I was laying on the couch and Olivia came up to me. She asked "Mommy, are you going up to heaven?" You know your sick when your child asks you that!
I'm of course getting ready to play guitar hero. Olivia asks "Are you going to jam mom?" I tell her yup. She watches me complete the song. Olivia says "mom, do you rock?" I reply yup, mom rocks.
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"
Mom, can I watch "Wizard B Voz?" (wizard of oz)
Mom, yesterday I had to call 911 because I got lost in a tormato. (tornado)
When Olivia is calling to me and I don't acknowledge it or hear her she yells "MOM....ole lay ole lay ole lay he whooooo."
Livy and I went to the mall. I parked and was getting out to unbuckle Olivia. Olivia said, "mom, don't forget my roller coaster." (stroller)
Tyler had a friend come over and Olivia didn't know that he stayed the night. The next morning Tyler came into the kitchen followed by his friend. Olivia said "Tyler, your human is still here?"

Olivia, are you tired? Do you need mom to hold you? Olivia said "mom, I need some cuddle time, I need a snack, and I need my lovin time" (she gets I need my lovin from dad) "Can I have a wishwish for my snack? (licorice)
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!!
Me "Olivia, gymnastics is starting and you are going every day for five days."
Olivia "But mom, I'll get all burnt out"
Me "Not all day for five days, just a little bit each day"
Olivia "But mom, I'll get all burnt out"
Me "Not all day for five days, just a little bit each day"
Olivia "Mom when are you going to work so Grandma can babysitt me?"
I watched Austin one Friday night who played with Olivia. It was time for Olivia to go to bed and she said "Mom I can't sleep all by myself, can Austin sleep with me?"
