Thursday Tidbits......
Happy Birthday Announcements to come later this evening!!!
Do you wonder what he is thinking? I've seen his mom do this...he must be imitating her :-))
This is Lyza's "boyfriend" Gabriel! Isn't he a doll??
You can visit their website at: www.beachmonkeys.blogspot.com/
I'm telling you...this girl studies EVERYTHING!!
So.....my tidbits for Thursday! I woke up at 4:30 am this morning.......did laundry, rearranged the living room, got Lyza's things ready for the day, let the dogs out...watered and fed, took care of "Nala" and her baby kitties......THEN went to Walmart! Not sure what my problem is, as I am MAJORLY not a morning person. I did the same thing yesterday, minus the furniture and walmart! Anyway....Lyza is sick so she went to bed at 6:30 pm last night....so I was not long behind her. We cooked a big dinner (for the two of us....remainder always goes in lunchmates for Chris to take to work) so I cleaned that up and crashed!!!
Tidbits about Lyza:
Favorite Shows:
Little Einsteins
Dora
Diego
Sesame Street (she only likes Elmo, so is not that into it)
VEGGIETALES!
And her new favorite??? We are trying to teach her animal sounds. As of now a cow goes "Booo".....a dog sticks out his tongue and pants......and a frog does actually say "Ribbit". However, today I found a book of animals that have the "texture" pages...along with a DVD of actual farm animals. Chris and I had just talked about this a few days ago (getting a DVD like this)........THE GIRL WENT NUTS!!! She acted out every animal, made every animal sound and twirled in circles. YES, I should have got it on video. NEXT TIME!
Favorite Things:
Ball (she has three)
Sidewalk Chalk
Swimming
Sandbox
Play Kitchen
Coloring (as you could tell from previous posts)
Books....LOVES books! Yeah!
Farm Barn and all the little farm animals
TRUCKS, CARS...anything she can push!!!
Pink Blankies....she has two, I cannot get them away from her. They are disgusting (I try to steal them at naptime to wash). I bought a new one today, same color, same style.....she just threw it on the floor like I was stupid and picked up her other one! Oh well, I tried.
She loves to dance.....Chris swears she is dancing to some Mayan Ritual. She stoops low, puts both hands to the side and goes in circles or back and forth. It is quite comical!! She loves to imitate any type of dancing that is on a cartoon as well. She's a funny girl!!
Things she says:
Hi Paw (my dad...she thinks it all goes together "Hi Paw"..not just "Paw")
Nonna (supposed to be Nonny)
G.G. (Grandma Ginny)
Puppies
Kitties
Bye, Lub Ew, Sees You, Doggies, Cheese (all together when she is leaving...like all that goes together!)
Cheese (everytime the camera comes out)
Ball
Cookies
Please/Thank You....at the same time
Yummies (this is for ANYTHING she wants to eat)
Wha is at?
Where's Sissy? (breaks my heart)....or "Sissy Go?"
and the list can go on.......she will say just about anything you tell her to.So there are my tidbits for today!! Have a wonderful day!!

Swimming Princess......Driving the Car...Storage Bins!
CHEESE!
TAKING A BOW.......she imitates everything on The Little Einsteins!
PAT, PAT, CLAP, CLAP to THE LITTLE EINSTEINS
Today we took her swimming again (filled up) and it only comes to her armpits...so she is still able to get around on her own with no swim tube. I am telling you..this girl is a fish! She walked around and played with her toys forever....and at naptime Mama even put in her raft and suntanned for the first time this summer! I probably looked funny in that small pool....but let me tell you, not near as funny as the little plastic kiddie pool on the porch :-)) (Smiles).
This Friday I leave for the "Women of Faith" conference in Indy. I have friends from "Back Home" going....and I am also going with my sister in law from Indy. Friday night I will stay with my "Back Home" friends...and Saturday with my sister in law. Chris will get to spend the weekend with his brother and they will be taking care of the girls (Lyza and Lia) all by themselves! Woo Hoo!!! I am really excited to be going!

MY INQUISITIVE GIRL

My Little Explorer....Watch out!!!
I guess it was Lyza's day to see just what she could get away with while mommy and daddy weren't looking!! The below incident with my new storage boxes happened while I was at the Dr. office this morning and Daddy was in charge! Whoops! So, now we may decorate them in other colors as well to show off her artistic side :-))
Whether I wish to admit it or not, this incident happened on Mommy's time while daddy was at work! She finally figured out the toilet paper stretches and stretches and stretches. Ok...it's too cute...how could you be mad at her??? Well...I wasn't but told her it was a "no, no" and made her help me wrap it back up.
Now this my friends....is my butt crack baby! I bet you thought she couldn't get any tanner! Well...she does and has some great tan lines from this summer! I guess it didn't bother her to watch cartoons like this.......hey, she is my dad's grandaughter after all!!! Got a little "Electrician" crack going on!

Organizing.....What is that???
My friend Angel at www.thevoiceofadventure.blogspot.com/ has once again challenged us to "get organzed" ....HA....but her ideas were great....the putting the kids clothing in ziplocks so they just pull out a bag and WALA they are ready to go. Awesome thinking! I suppose I COULD see myself doing that in future when/if I return to work so that Lyza can grab a bag, clothe herself and let's go! Again, very cute...love it.....I just don't have time to orgaize anything right now. And truth be told...if someone looked in one of my closets they would surely have a stroke upon opening the door. Good thing is.......this is the week all Lyza's clothing gets put back on hangers, organized, into the too small pile. Cause' ya know the princess has nothing to wear.....ha ha ha. When she is a bit older, I may try this theory....as it seems, looks and sounds like it would be adorable to sort their clothing this way! Way to go Angel.
Then my friend emails me today with all her "organization" and her d$%n label maker!! That woman....makes a label for everything!!!!!!!! Her blog site is

So...the only thing that I can think of right now (how sad is that) that is organized is Lyza's hairbow rack!!!!! We all know the girl has a lot of hair.....I also run a small business making hair bows.....So, below pictures are of her pathetically large number of organized hairbows!!!
TE HE HE
FFF - Late...but here!! :-) "Friends"
