It seems impossible that it's Aug. 1 already! Fall isn't too far away now, soon it'll be apple pickin' time in Nancy, Ky. I love that time of year.
The kids are doing great.. this is Shark Week on the Discovery channel, we've been watching it together, and the girls swear they're never going into the ocean again.. it was so comical - their other gramma called today to ask them if they want to go to the beach this weekend, of all weekends... and before I heard the full question, I already knew the answer.. NO WAY! There's SHARKS in there!! *laughs* The poor woman. They've decided they will go, but they said they will just stay in the swimming pool and hot tub, to hell with the ocean and anything in it that might want to eat them. Oh that was funny to me.
These kids keep me laughing. The other night they were munching on left over from dinner french fries and I could hear them bickering.. they were fighting over the fries.. I couldn't see them but I could tell that they were tugging them back and forth trying to win the fries.
Mallory: "They're MINE!"
Mikyla: "No, they're MINE!"
I could hear the fries hit the floor.
Mallory: "They're yours Mikyla, you have to pick them up."
Mikyla: "No, they're yours, but... I SNEEZED ON THEM!"
I don't know which one picked them up, but they made it into the trash can.
These kids say the strangest things.. every time Mal's mouth flies open it's something hilarious. And she doesn't worry with tact either. Kissing Maegan's cheek, I told Maegan, feels like kissing a juicy yummy Plum, and Kissing Mallory's cheek, I told Mallory, feels like kissing a firm ripe Apple. Mikyla's cheeks feel like kissing delicious sweet Georgia Peaches. Mallory said, "Mammy bend down here and let me kiss yours and see what it feels like.. " So, I did.
"Rotten Candy", She informed me with a nod before skipping off to make someone else's day.
Joel is doing great with his potty training. 50/50. Yay for you, Joel! He's so proud of himself he just goes now to be told how big he is! *laughs*
Ugh.. Maegan will be off formula in a day or two.. I think I have 2 cans left and that'll be it.. she'll be a year old on Saturday. She likes milk alright, but at bedtime, she wants that formula. She's eating good, anything we eat, she can eat, so I'm not worried, just at bedtime she doesn't want to go to sleep without that formula in that bottle. Let's hope she changes her mind quickly. I'm toying with the idea of taking her off the bottle entirely as well as the formula, if she's going to hate me she may as well hate me all at once and get it over with. I know it won't make any difference to Sarah one way or the other. We'll see.
Papaw was looking great when we went to Brenda's today...SO much better, I can sure tell he's being VERY well cared for, good job, Brenda!
Mikyla and Mallory are all ready to go back to school. It's supposed to start on the 8th or the 9th, I'm not sure which, we'll find out beforehand, but I saw in the headlines of the Lex. Herald the other day that some group was fighting it, they don't want the kids going back so early. As ready as I am for them to go back, I do agree, it's way too early.. and still so hot. The temp at the bank today at about 3 was 102 degrees. Too hot for school - it's still swimming weather!
Bonnie's off tonight, so we don't have Joel, she's off tomorrow night too. Acey called today, he talked for a short time, but then his Daddy's cell phone cut off, so he didn't get to talk long. He is doing fine too. He starts Kindergarten next fall if I'm not mistaken. I've not heard from Breanna in a while, she called last week, but I didn't get to talk to her. I bet she's ready for school too. I know Nick is. He can't wait.
Mikyla: I can do a flip under the water.
Mallory: I can do two flips undah da watah!
Mikyla: I can do three flips!
Mallory: I can do a hunnard flips undah da watah!
Mikyla: (shaking her head) You're stupid.
Oh yeah, it's been one hell of a memorable summer. God love 'em all!
G'nite world! :)
P.S. Mom! Do something! Your feet are all wrankled and old looking! Don't make me post a pic! *laughs*
