THURSDAY THIRTEEN

Thirteen things heard around our house these days.....

1. "I know!!! I have to stop the train again!!!" Mac, quoting Polar Express. I swear if I hear this one more time....it has to be one of my twelve pains of Christmas this year.

2. "yuk Mommy, bubba" Lily Kate pointing to the funky bubble light contraptions on our tree, you know, those things from the seventies that amazed me when I was little?? Turns out those 2007 babies are just as amazed as the 1974 babies.

3. "I am going to start working out again this week". Yeah yeah, this can be heard by either Michael or I lately.

4. "no, I don't haf to go potty". Mac's millionth response of the day. We are on day two of potty training in our house. Yesterday I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown; stay tuned for the updates...

5. "What's the weather going to be like today?". Last week we had summertime temps, this week, we are either at or near freezing each night. Hello Tylenol Sinus!!!

6. "Hey Mommy, we hear dat song in our car!!" Mac's response to any Christmas song he hears, whether in Wal-Mart or at home. Christmas music is everywhere and I am not quite tired of it yet!!!

7. "Do you have some playbooks from da' mail today?" Mac pestering me daily, sometimes twice daily about whether or not any sale papers from the toy store came in the mail.

8. "muk muk muk muk muk". Lily Kate requesting something to drink...broken record style. One would think she is asking for milk, but really she means anything that will wet her whistle.

9. "LILY KATE, NO NO!! THAT IS FOR THE TREE!!!" Me getting on to Lily Kate for licking the water off of her hand after dipping it in the tree stand. Upside: she smells of fresh Christmas tree all the time.

10. "But Mommy I wont a double helicopter and a garbage truck!!!" Mac pleading each day with Michael or I about his Christmas wish. So far we have scored a garbage truck, but if anyone knows where we can find a double helicopter PLEASE tell me!!!!

11. "Kiki Cause". This is how Lily Kate says "Santa Clause" and it is so stinkin' cute.

12. "Don't talk to me like dat'!!!!!" Mac's response when he is told what to do by Michael or I. In other words, when he is told something that he doesn't want to hear. We are getting quite sassy these days and our response to him is, "don't talk to me like that!". I guess he thinks it's reciprocal.

13. "Oh look Mommy, it's da' baby Jesus!!! Mac's response every time he sees a nativity set. I love it. Praise the Lord!!!
