. thursday 13 .

i have a 2 1/2 year old that is learning to say so much and repeats everything.  here are 13 things she has said in the last few days.  i just wish you could hear her cute little squeaky voice and her attitude as she says these things.  i also added my responses to most of them.

1. "mommy, i want to be just like you."  {must say, this is definitely one of my favorites!}

2. "oh, shut up!"  {WHAT!?!  where on earth did she hear that.  we put a stop to that one quickly}

3. "mykah reese.  we're almost home."  {as mykah is screaming in the car}

4. "daddy's crazy."  {when he hits bumps while driving the car.}

5. "i don't like you mommy.  i don't want you to kiss me."  {this made me really sad.}

6. "i will pay for my waffles.  at target?"  {i'm so not sure why she loves target so much}

7. "i wuv you mommy."  {another favorite, yet she says it when she's in trouble.}

8. "i'm ready to listen."  {after she has been in trouble for NOT listening. which is often}

9. "i need butter on it." {this girl wants butter on EVERYTHING.}

10. "we can go buy it at target."  {seriously.  where does she get her love of target from?}

11. "SO, maybe we can (whatever it is she's wanting to do) tomorrow."  {i admit, she gets the "so" part from me.}

12. "maybe later we can get a sno cone."  {she LOVES sno cones.}

13. "mykah reese.  it's ok.  don't cry."  {usually said at the top of her lungs, with her fingers in her ears, as mykah is screaming in the car.}

*most of these things don't seem that big.  but she's 2 1/2 and when she says things, it makes me realize how big she truly is getting.  i often wonder how in the world does she know so many words.  how does she know what "so" and "maybe" mean?  needless to say, she's a HOOT and makes us laugh everyday.  life is not boring with karsyn around.

. thursday 13 .

today i am listing 13 projects that i need to finish because i know of AT LEAST that many that are looking me in the face screaming my name. 

1. finish painting the trim in the kitchen.  almost done.  we ran out of tape.

2. sand, prime, and paint mykah's highchair.

3. sand, prime, and paint kitchen cupboard.

3. sand, prime, and paint ... (i'm sure i can find another something that needs that) ... but we'll say get my window from shannon and hang it up.

4. figure out what i'm going to do with this antique door i had to have.

5. organize closets and our shed

6. finish karsyn's baby book.  YES, i said KARSYN.  don't get me started on mykah's.

7. find antiques to go on top of my kitchen cabinets and someone to decorate for me.

8. figure out how to use coupons.

9. get my sewing machine out and find that "on" switch.

10. actually put all of our toys in the playroom

11. make a monthly menu.

13. figure out how to take care of 2 kids by myself again since hubby goes back to work on monday.  he's been home all summer so i forgot.

{ thursday thirteen *favorites }

here are 13 of my favorite things at this moment, mostly because i'm pregnant

1.  remember this?  well, this baby L.O.V.E.S this ... (could be another post for another day)

2. sweet tea, from mcalister's and chick fil a.  no other place stands up to the quality of those at this moment.  my favorite man's sweet tea stands above them all though.

3. cheesecake, sparingly.  so sweet though.

4. SLEEP.

5. pedicures.

6. spicy nacho doritos.  why?  i'm still wondering that myself.

7. spending time with karsyn while she's still my only child.  it's hitting me now folks that my baby is not going to be my only baby in 5 months.

8. SLEEP.

9. blueberry muffin frosted mini wheats. 

10. spaghetti.

11. SLEEP.

12. having energy to do anything.

13. SLEEP.

why is it that my favorite things while pregnant revolve around food and sleep?  hmmm ...
