Dancing Queens and Washing Machines...

First thing first...If any of you guys reading this blog need a washer and dryer, I have one to give away to a good home. They are nice decent machines in good running condition. I gave them to Rose to use when she got into her new laundry room, but now that she has a new laundry room, she decided to go ahead and just get new machines...so first come first served. Leave me a comment if you want them and I could possibly deliver them to you, if you don't live too far away. If nobody wants them I am going to put an ad in the paper and sell them, so speak now or forever hold you peace.

On to other news, Sierra has been learning spanish from her cartoons and recently she told me she had learned how to say thank you in spanish. I said, "Oh, Gracias!" and she said, "No mom, Gassy-ass!" I have tried to correct her by repeating the word to her correctly, but it hasn't caught on, so...you know. Tonight we had this conversation.

Sierra: "Mom, Lilly just broke this." (hands me wet, mangled toy.)
Me: "It's no big deal. I think I can fix that."
Sierra: "Oh, Great! Gassy-ass Mom."

Here are some more spanish words Sierra knows:

Bicycle: Babaganoosh (that is what is sounds like when she says it, I swear!)
Hello: OH, LA!! (you have to do it as if you were singing it...)
Climb up: Yoob-ay, Yoob-ay, Yoob-ay (also in a sing song voice and you must be marching on your sofa)
Red: rojo, but sometimes ro-ho-ho.

Someday, Sierra will visit Mexico and be terribly disappointed that all hispanic people don't dance around singing "OH LA, OH LA!", saving wild animals, and riding around on their babaganoosh.

Also, I have to write that Lilly has learned to dance! She has a little music table and she can really get that thing rockin'! She is so dang cute, seriously! Recently, Sierra formed a band in which she plays the drums, I play the tuba, Miner plays the guitar, and Aunt Erica plays the violin...so maybe when Lilly gets old enough, she can join our band.

That's all I've got for tonight...peace.

Lilly's New Tricks!

So Lilly is quite the quick learner lately. She can now wave hello/goodbye. She also waves if you tell her to say goodnight. It is really cute. She is just crawling all over the place. She has recently become very fast. I had the pantry door open and she was in the living room and she made a mad dash to get in there before I could close the door. She also has decided that eating tiny pieces of torn up TP out of the garbage can is her new favorite snack...so I have to keep all the garbage cans locked up or up high so she can't get to them. She just pulled herself up on her own for the first time today. She has figured out how to take dishes out of the lower rack of the dishwasher. She has decided that baby food is no longer for her and screeches at the top of her lungs if you are eating something and you don't give her a taste. She decided tonight to open Sierra's markers and gave herself a nice Cindy Crawford mole. I got some cute pictures of her with my cell phone and as soon as I can figure out how to transfer them to my computer I will post them. (Yes, I have only had the phone for about 4 years...) She loves her mom and gets very upset when Mom leaves her at Aunt Rose's house...sorry Rose ( I owe you one!) And sorry in advance to Sara (It's to late to cancel now!! But maybe it's just Rose?!?!).

She is just so cute. You guys that don't get to see her every day miss so much. She is such a sweet and busy little baby. We are looking forward to the warmer weather so that we can play outside.

Sierra has been looking forward to Miner's Birthday. She has been planning the party. She has the guest list mostly worked out and so far I know we need noisemakers (because apparently that is just what every party must have). She has even decided what he needs as a present (A bubblemaker, "he can even use her bubbles if he wants!"). So it's pretty much a done deal at this point...hopefully your on the list, because it should be a real barn burner...

And you can't sleep because???

This is what went to bed with Sierra last night.

7 stuffed animals
3 pieces of construction paper
1 flashlight
10 binkies
1 dirty sock
2 slippers
1 extra blanket

and where did she end up spending most of the night....my bed. If I had that much junk in my bed, I would have gone somewhere else to sleep also.
