Watch out I might tag you next!

Back in the beginning of December I was totally blown over to hear that the adorable, victorious, unquenchable, Barbaloot instilled an award on me!
One where I am assigned the task of listing five things I love. But now the month has flown by and I have not lived up to my expectations!
As I never do whats expected of me, I'm going to list five of the most "interesting" things that have happened this month. I hope you find them as interesting as I do.


1)Liza has officially denounced the dog as Bullet. He is now officially, Shut-it.
SHUT-IT GET DOWN! SHUT-IT COME HERE! aw, I wuv yoo too Shut-it!


2)When ever I sing along to the song Little Drummer boy I start to cry always at the line "I played my best for him", little did I know that Mae has been watching me closely and memorized the song. So when we were karaoke-ing at Tim's parents, she was able to get up w/ Daddy and sing it with him! At that line I caught her sneaking a peek at me, she smiled a traitor smile when she saw I was balling! Little twerp.

3)At my Grandmother's beautiful, museum-like, anti-children house, Liza knocked over a antique oil lamp. (One that looked like one the ten virgins would have carried.)
Luckily Daddy caught it before any damaged was done. But a few minutes later I heard a deafening crash from the kitchen.
Looking around I saw my sister about to cry. While she was feeding her some cereal, Abbie (6 months) grabbed the glass bowl and knocked it on the floor.
Everyone was silent for a second, until I threw my fists in the air and said,
"YES! NOT MY KID!"
I consoled my sister by telling her the next story.










4)Mae is just her cover name, her real name is Super Girl. The child has untold strength! For such a cute blonde little girl she is freakishly strong!

My in laws couch is a big thing that has stood the test of time. Both the ends of the couch recline like a lazy boy would. But the middle is just a regular piece of couch.

Daddy was reclined on one end and Pop-pop one the other, Mae wanted to be just like them and sit in the middle and recline. But the darn foot thing wouldn't come up!

So she pulled with all her might until she ripped the sucker off!
Were talking ripped out screws, and torn in half wood!!!!!

She was standing there holding the gargantuan piece of mutilated couch, when Daddy found his voice and full named her very loudly!

She ran to the cover of Grandma who was about to die laughing.
When I finally found my voice I asked her what was so funny?!

She said, "I get a new couch!"







5)I know the next one should be about Liza but I cant leave this out, its classic Mae.

At my Grandparents house our family was reunited with cousins of my Grandfather whom we had not seen since I was about six years old.
They are really sweet awesome people, and I was having fun getting to know them all over again. So I wasn't paying attention when this strange event occurred.


Mae : Hi! What's your name?

Little boy cousin about the same age as Mae: Scooter, what's yours?

Scooter's Grandpa: Oh I know what her name is! Its Bob!

Mae (laughing) : NO!

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Roy?

Mae: Nooo

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Bill?

Mae: Nope!

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Dave?

Mae: NO!

Scooter's Grandpa: Is it Cornelius?

Mae: No way!

Scooter's Grandpa: Well I just cant figure out what it is then! I just don't know! What IS your name?

Mae: You know my name!

Scooter's Grandpa: No I don't, what is it?

Mae: Its Sleeping Beauty of course!

Scooter: Oh okay, Mommy can I go play with Sleeping Beauty?

Unfortunately for Scooter, to this very day, he still believes her name is Sleeping Beauty.










Now I am going to pass the "Major Award" along to others! Aren't you lucky!
This award goes out to Lorena, Nicole, Jess (cuz I know you have nothing better to do), Kristina, Jamie, and Lisa Loo! I love you all!

Becka, you really are my best friend.
Too bad you had to pack it up and move far far away!

it's just too depressing without you.

Guess what Darrel has decided to do for a career change!

I'll give you a hint....CES

I love the sleeping beauty story-- when you said Mae's secret identity was Super Woman (It was close to that anyway, ha ha!), in my head I was already writing my comment about thinking it was Sleeping Beauty. ;)

I love your stories. You are a great story teller. I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas and saw so many of your relatives.
