That's kinda yucky

Bailey LOVES to take medicine. It doesn't matter what it is. The other day when she was playing outside, she ran into a tree branch and cut her eye. I gave her some tylenol (which she asked for by name). She doesn't take medicine very often but she loves it so much that she knows what it's called when she does need it. Well, I've noticed that since the weather is getting nicer she is starting to get stuffy. We've been playing outside a lot this week since Zach and I have been on spring break. Anyway, before bed last night I said, "Bailey, would you like some medicine for your nose before we go to bed?" (It was not tylenol it was Zyr.tec)
"Yes, pwease."
"Here you go."
"Thanks you mama"

Then, she started coughing and making a horrible face.
"This is tinda yucky" she said.
I couldn't help laughing. I wasn't laughing that she was choking on her medicine but the fact that she said that was completely hysterical to me.
This morning I gave her just a tiny bit more because she was still stuffy. She took it just fine, as usual. But then she said "This is the yucky one!" It was so cute! I just love her so much!

Why reading is important!

Monday is DH's birthday. He's turning 30 and I really wanted to do something special! Granted, you only turn 22 once, and 23 once, and so on but 30 is a big deal (in my 20-something opinion). So, I planned a semi-surprise party. I say semi because he is quite Type-A and I didn't want him freaking out when people started showing up. I figured he would be so concerned with cleaning up after everyone that he wouldn't enjoy himself. So, he is aware now, that he is having a party tonight.

Wednesday, I went to order his cake. I wanted something he would LOVE but something NOT girly as well! So, I placed my order and stressed to the woman that his name is ZacH NOT ZacK! I was nice about it but EVERY cake he has ever gotten (since we've been together) has either said Zac or Zack. It's kind of annoying when your own family throws a wedding or baby shower for you and your name is spelled wrong!

I picked up the cake today. It looks great. But... guess what it says Happy Birthday ZACK! REALLY?????? So, I said to the woman, his name is spelled wrong. She was the same woman who had taken my order. She wasn't the person who wrote on the cake. She looked at the order slip and it had an H. So, I think the person who wrote on the cake needs to learn how to read! EERR!
However, the nice woman who took my order fixed it for me. Still, it doesn't look as good as it would have if it would have been done correctly the first time!

Story-Time

Every night Bailey asks to hear this story which I made up especially for her.

One day, Princess Bailey went to her garden. She was going to pick flowers for her princess party. She picked a yellow one, a pink one, a blue one, and a purple one. She was very happy with her beautiful flowers. On the way back to the castle, she ran into Whiskers, the cat. Meow, said Whiskers. "Where are you going?"
"I'm having a princess party, said Bailey."
"Meow, I love balloons. Parties always have balloons."
"Yes," said Bailey. "Would you like to come to the party?"
"Meow, Thank you!" Said Whiskers.

So, Princess Bailey and Whiskers the cat started walking back to the castle.
On the way, they ran into Fuzzy Tail the rabbit.
"hop, hop" Said Fuzzy tail. "Where are you going?"
"We are going to my princess party." Said Princess Bailey.
"hop, hop, I love cake. Parties always have cake!" Said Fuzzy Tail.
"Yes," Said Princess Bailey. "Why don't you come to my party with us?"

So, Princess Bailey, Whiskers the cat, and Fuzzy Tail the rabbit walked on toward the castle. On the way, they ran into Gigi the goat.
"Baah, baah," said Gigi. "Where are you going?"
"We are going to my princess party." Said Princess Bailey.
"Baah, baah, I love parties." Said Gigi.
"Why don't you come to my princess party?" Said Princess Bailey.

So, Princess Bailey, Whiskers the cat, Fuzzy Tail the rabbit, and Gigi the goat all walked to the castle. But, as soon as they walked in, the maid was NOT happy!
"What are all of these animals doing in here? I will NOT have animals messing up my kitchen."
Before Princess Bailey could do anything, the maid grabbed her broom and with one swift sweep, out went Whiskers and out went Fuzzy Tail. The maid swished them right back out the door. She turned to swish out Gigi, but just as soon as she tried, Gigi ate the end off of the broom.
Princess Bailey started to laugh. She laughed so hard that the maid started to laugh too. Princess Bailey explained to the maid that Whiskers, Fuzzy Tail, and Gigi are her friends and she invited them to her princess party. So, the maid apologized to the animals and let all of them come in and enjoy the party.

Everyone had a GREAT time!

THE END!

Dear Bailey, mommy loves you So much! And, I will continue to tell you this story every night for as long as you let me. Night night, sweet baby!

Love, Mommy

Fun time in the back yard! 3-6-10

Wordless Wednesday

Explanation

So, the other day (actually on Valentine's evening) Zach and I let Bailey spend the night with Memaw (but not for romantic reasons). Zach's mom had to go to the doctor the next morning and said it would be easier if Bailey was already at her house instead of driving all the way to our house to get her and then all the way back to the doctor. So, Zach and I sat around not knowing what to do... Yes, I am aware how sad that sounds but now that we have her we never do things alone and so we sat on the couch until we decided to go to dinner (I am making this story WAY longer than it needs to be, ha). Anyway, I was standing in the utility room getting ready to leave when he mentioned (nicely) that I needed a better bra. He was, of course, right! Honestly, I NEVER buy stuff for myself because I feel guilty about even spending 3.99 on a breakfast burrito meal at McDonalds since I always feel like we never have money. But, truth be told, I was still wearing my nursing bras and I haven't nursed in OVER 2 years!

As luck would have it, Zach's dad just so happened to send me 100 dollars for my birthday (which was just a few days before). He had never done that before so I was shocked and EXTREMELY pleased. Now, my mom won't give me money for my birthday because she knows I will spend it on Bailey. So she just took me shopping instead. But, I was SO good and I actually used 90 dollars to buy things for myself! One of the things, was of course, the white bra that little B is wearing in the post below. I actually bought the bra as kind of a joke and planned to take it back. It's a push-up bra with A LOT of padding! NO, I do not have breasts even CLOSE to the size of that bra!

So, I bought the bra and many other outfits at my new favorite store fashion.bug and took them home. I get home before DH so I put the bra on and literally started laughing at my "instant boob job." I got dressed and started making dinner. When he got home he didn't say anything for a few minutes and then, he turned around, sat down on the chair and said "Honey, your boobs look huge today!" I started cracking up! (He is going to be so mad at me for telling you this but hey, they're my boobs and if I want to talk about them, I can).

Needless to say, Bailey grabbed the bra after I took it off. She started prancing around the house saying "Wook at my new boobies, Baidey got new boobies." So I HAD to take a picture! I guess she was getting me back for not using the money on her! However, you have NO idea how it feels to get up in the morning and not wear the same 4 outfits OVER and over! Now, when I get up I don't have to plan what I want to wear the night before because I have so much more to choose from. I also got several pieces of jewelry on clearance for 1.98! I should take some picture but really, who wants to see pictures of my new clothes except me:)?

Need a lift?

Don't worry, an explanation will soon follow :). For now, enjoy the picture. I know it makes me smile on a Monday!
