A Reindeer Ninja Named "Shadows"

Neely's been extra hilarious lately. She used to randomly shake our hands and say "Nice 'a meet you!" She's back to that the last few weeks. She also likes to say "I don't fiiiiiink so." The night we went to the Parade of Lights, on our way to the car she kept telling me "A corporation." I was cracking up because she said it perfectly. I kept asking "a corporation?" because I couldn't figure out how that could really be what she was saying. But finally she goes "PBS kids dot ord!" So that's where she heard it. Haha.

The other morning I was making us banana oatmeal. She climbed into my lap, put an arm around my shoulders and neck and asked me "Mama? I have a bana?" We only had one left so I said "Not yet. You can have some in a minute in your oatmeal." She said "AAAAW dang it."She used "aww dangit" again when Gia licked some of her spilled food off the floor. She goes "AAAW dangit. Why she do dat?"

She also makes me laugh by turning long sleeves into short sleeves and pants into shorts.

A couple of weeks ago, Jess had a last minute trip to Oklahoma City. We drove him up Wednesday morning and he came home Friday night. Paige was at school when we took him, so my younger two and I dropped him off, ran into Joann's, got a Starbucks, and headed home.

Cason chugged his hot cocoa before we even got to the car, and told me he wasn't going to "glitter". I hadn't heard him say it in a while so it took me a minute to realize he meant "litter."

Right before Jess left on this trip, we found out we had a broken pipe somewhere in our backyard. So while he was gone the guys were working on it. Since the water was off we stayed the night at Misty and Jordan's.

We would run home to get things and let Gia in and out to go potty, and talk with the guys. Turned out instead of a broken pipe we had nothing BUT holes everywhere with roots growing through all the pipes. The guy was shocked we'd been able to get by this long. He said it was by far the worst he's seen. Haha. Awesome. But at least now our pipes are all new and we won't have to worry about it. They had to go under our back porch, so the kids were excited to do their hand prints in the new cement. It was way too hard though, so instead we traced their hands. :)
