Alanna goes topless:

Of course I'm talking about her convertible.

She loves this thing.  The problem is....she knows how to hit the gas but she has no idea how to steer!!  So one of us has to run next to her and make sure she doesn't run into a tree or the street.

We got this from a friend that was PCSing and didn't want to drag it with them.  SWEET!

 

Monkey Monday:

 Sleeping in Daddy's arms.  Awwwww!

 

Friday Funnies:

1.  While in the car yesterday Alanna yells "Ewww...I smell a toot!  Mommy did it!!"  I said that I didn't and asked her if SHE did it.  She said "Yep, it was me!"
 
2.  As I'm driving, Alanna says "mommy let's go up that mountain!" I quickly look around and then remember (duh) I live in San Angelo and there are no mountains. Again she says, "mommy, let's go up that mountain!" I told her there were no mountains but she insisted. I asked her to show me the mountain and she points to the Coors Light truck that we are following.


3.  While in the doctor's office, Alanna sees a chart of different types of pollen and mold and allergens in the air.  She loudly says "look at all the moles on that picture!"

4.  And speaking of moles, her daddy told her that he has a 'barking mole' and when she looks at it or touches it (on his arm) he barks at her.  She loves it.  Thinks it's hysterical.  The nurse comes in yesterday at her appointment and she has a mole on her nose.  YEP, you guess it...she points and says "you have a barking mole!!!"

5.  While using a public restroom at the mall (Alanna had already pottied and it was my turn) she loudly praises me for going pee pee.  Nice.  Then she loudly says "And mommy, do you need to poo poo too?"  I whisper 'no' and can hear ladies in the neighboring stalls snickering.  Then she says "well, can you make a toot?"  (She obviously hears that a lot)  I quickly whisper that I was done and didn't need to poo poo or toot.  THEN....she says "mommy, why do you have hair right there on your bottom?"  AHHHHH!!!  I can hear full on laughter in the women's bathroom at this point.  I just wanted to stay in that stall all day and not come out.

This child keeps me rolling on a daily basis.

While Mommy's Away:

 

 I had gotten ready and left for the morning and daddy was keeping Alanna at home.  He was in the kitchen and she was "watching a movie in the living room" so the story goes.  He says she was being SO GOOD and SO QUIET that he just kept doing what he was doing.  He didn't hear a peep out of her the whole time!

When he finally checked on her, she was in mommy's make-up box and was helping herself.  When I came home, she said "Mommy, I put mascara on my eyebrows!"  She was so proud of herself.

Happy Birthday Jesus:

Instead of making cookies for Santa and putting out stuff for reindeer, we had a Happy Birthday Jesus party!  Not that there's anything wrong with the latter, we just don't really do it.  Anywho...

 We blew horns! 

Y'all, this was hysterical!  Alanna couldn't blow hard enough to make it toot, so she'd blow and squeal in her mouth at the same time to make the sound.  It was hysterical!  She tried over and over and over.  We laughed pretty hard.

We made cupcakes and had candles.

The plates and napkins even said "Happy Birthday Jesus" on them. I even blew up balloons and had streamers.  I think this will become a tradition for sure.  Even though Alanna REALLY wanted it to be HER birthday, she was okay with letting it be for Jesus.  (She still tells me that she wants her Minnie Party back.)

Mamaw's In Da House, er, Fort:

As soon as Alanna found out that Mamaw was coming for a visit, she started creating an agenda in her mind of all the things they would be doing together..

First thing on the list, she was 100% sure that Mamaw would get in her fort with her.  Second was that Mamaw would sleep in her bed with her.  And third, was that she would swing and slide outside with 

I told Alanna that Mamaw would have her own bed and that she most likely wouldn't be getting in her fort with her.  Guys, this is a computer box.  Not a spacious, fun play house.  A BOX.  And Mamaw is claustrophobic to boot!  I kept telling Alanna that I didn't think Mamaw would get in her fort with her, just so she would be prepared. 

After we picked Mamaw up from the airport and came home, I walked into the playroom and found this: 

 HAHAHA!!  Sure enough, Alanna had talked Mamaw into getting inside her fort!!  I had to run and get my camera for a picture.  I peeked inside the tiny window on the side and saw a bunch of smiles.  Alanna was THRILLED that Mamaw was in her fort, and I secretly think Mamaw was just as thrilled to be in there with her. ;)

Thanks Mamaw for making her dreams come true. =)

This little red head has now gotten Nana in her tent and Mamaw in her fort.  I'm thinking she might have some sort of grandma super power.
