Funny Girls

I have been trying to post some new pictures and some beautiful artwork created by Addie & Ally, but I haven't been able to post any images for three days! I even have some great Tucson monsoon pix for my most recent post at Framanisco , but they won't go up either. Shucks.

But I won't withhold the bits about my girls anymore--when blogger gets fixed, we'll post the images that go with this text.

Last week Addie told me what she wants to be when she grows up: "Mom, I want to be THREE things: a ballerina, a gardener, and a grandma." It made me smile, and I told her that she could very easily be all three of those things.

Heidi talks so much, and mostly she speaks very clearly. However, she has some words that are uniquely her own, so here is a sample of "HEIDI-ISMS":

zuda= soda, as in root beer, sprite, coke...
kiki car= daddy's teal Escort hoopty car...we have NO IDEA what the prefix "kiki" means!
pockiple= popsicle...for a while we tought she was saying "basketball" and wondered why she kept asking for a basketball. She finally opened the freezer and enlightened us with an Otter Pop.
libbit= a little bit, as in "Pleeeeease...Mama, gimme libbit in my hand."
sumber=thunder, as in "Hear dat, mom? Dat's sumber! It's a storm!"
Cockadoodledoo= what Heidi says in our ears when she wants us to wake up.

And, finally, a classic sentence. Last week when we stayd in Billings for our Melin Reunion, Heidi threw up for the first time. She mostly got the bed sheet and her blanket, so I just piled them at the foot of the bed, cleaned her up, and got her back to sleep. Later in the morning, she wanted her blanket, but she saw the vomit and said, "Eww, yucky! I spit poopies out my mouf, mom. Yucky! Poopies out my mouf!" I thought that was so sad, and FUNNY! I taught her the right word, but hope we don't have to use it anytime soon!

The Heidisms are excellent. I especially like "kiki car." Ford should pay her for that name; it's a lot more interesting than Escort.

Blogger has been terrible in the photo uploading department. I looked in their troubleshooting section and it's a widespread issue. The easiest way around it is to go to www.imageshack.us, upload your photos there and then it will open a page with a bunch of codes on in. the code starting with an open bracket and the letter 'a' is what you want. you can copy and paste that into your blogger post and it will show up as a picture. it's a pain to have to take the extra steps, but this Blogger problem doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.

hah, if I told you Emma has named her private parts her 'kiki', would that make you laugh?

We don't have a cockadoodledoo at our house, but Emma will come into our room and say "It's good morning time! You can't lie in bed, the sun is up!"

your pukey story reminded me of another one by our dear kiddo. She was sick at school and lost a bit of lunch. When Mike went to pick her up, she was really upset about the small spot on the floor they had to clean up. She pointed at the spot and told him "Look, I spilled some Emma."
