Drewisms

Drew has been cracking us up lately. The stuff that comes out of her mouth is just hilarious without her even trying to be funny, and it's stuff we always want to remember. 

She just looks like she's funny doesn't she?

One morning, Drew woke up before Brent left for work which is a rare occurrence. I got her out of bed and asked her if she wanted to go see Daddy before he left, and she said yes. So we went outside and Brent rolled down his window and she was sitting on his lap. Brent hugged her and gave her a kiss said he loved her and asked her if she liked sitting in his truck.  Her response? "I like pink birthday cake."

Almost every night after bath or shower time, Drew curls up on the rug after I have wrapped her in a towel. One night from under the towel, I heard her say "My eyes are cold."

After running errands one morning, Brent asked me to pick him up some Sonic. As I said Brent's order through the speaker, my little helper piped up from the back seat with "I want cake."

When we got fast food one night for the whole family, as Drew's french fries came out of the bag, her eyes got really wide as she exclaimed "Ooooohhhh!" Brent and I looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Drew and I were on a walk one day and stopped at a driveway to let a woman back out of her driveway. The lady {who was of a grandmotherly age} waved to Drew. Drew waved back and said "I love her." Well okay then. Later when I was recounting the story to Brent, I asked Drew if she loved me, to which she replied "I love that lady." Hmmm...

Being her mom is just too fun!

June Goals!

I'm having fun setting and trying to achieve monthly goals. Nothing too hard or stressful but something to strive for. Before I talk about my goals for June, here's how I did in May:

1. Finish organizing the house - I would say we are 90% done. The office and laundry room need some work, but otherwise I'd say we're there! The playroom was a big project, but we have it looking so great. I probably need a new bookcase, but I'm very happy with it.
2. Develop {and stick to} a cleaning schedule - This I rocked until I got strep throat. So I backslid a little but am getting right back in the saddle.
3. Hire a nanny - Done! And she started today!!
4. Schedule family pictures - Um nope.
5. Family activity - We spent a lot of time together but didn't get out and GO somewhere.

1. Clean my car! - Oh my gosh. My car is a stinky, grubby, likely-to-be-mold-growing garbage can on wheels. Snack containers, old socks, trash, thrown snacks...it's bad. I need to do a major clean job including paying for a detailing.

2. Lots of time outside - I have a tendency to like to stay inside, and that isn't great for me or especially the kids. Our nanny {Miss Sam} knows I want the kids outside a lot, but I also want us to be outside as much as we can in the evenings and on the weekends. June is going to be milder than usual temperature-wise so we need to take advantage while we can.

3. Schedule family pictures - Honestly I'm scared to talk to Brent about this. He HATES this kind of stuff. But a great photographer is going to do them for FREE for us, so really it's just getting him on board for doing it. {Hey honey, what do you think?}

4. Family activity - Seriously - let's GO SOMEWHERE!

5. Decorate kids' rooms - Not much is changing with how the kids' rooms our decorated from our old house, so I just need to get everything put up on the walls. Should be an easy-ish first step into decorating since I think a lot of other rooms are going to be tough!

6. Swim lessons/rec center - Our new town has a great rec center that is very affordable and has so much great stuff and their swim lessons are dirt cheap for private lessons. It's time to get Trent out of his floaties and it's another way for us to be active and outdoors!
