I had to lay it out.

I just had to lay this out because it had been in my head. If you don't care, I apologize now.

Disney Princesses

-by birth
  • Ariel
  • Snow White
  • Jasmine
  • Sleeping Beauty (Aurora)
  • Pocahontas
-by marriage
  • Cinderella
  • Mulan (not sure if she ever became a princess . . .)
  • Belle
Is that all of them? Jeez, it always seems like there's way more than that at the Disney Store. And I noticed that Rapunzel isn't represented. The story must be too graphic.

Hannah-isms

Hannah may be a surgeon when she grows up. She successfully pulled raisins out of her raisin toast without disturbing the bread. Then, she decided to eat the bread, but only the buttery parts. She also has this trick of spooning the milk out of her cereal and then eating the cereal. Silly Boo.

She looked up at me after breakfast with huge blue eyes and said "It's not nap time?"

She's currently yelling at the TV for Mickey Mouse to use "That one!" "Right there!" I know the Clubhouse is set up that way, but it's still funny to hear the enthusiasm in her voice.

I came home from a manicure and pedicure last week and Hannah was thrilled with my nails so we had to paint hers. I had a shimmery, semi-transparent blue that I put on her teeny toes and fingernails and she was so happy with that. I've since removed my (flaking, peeling) pink and replaced with clear, but she saw the shine last night and said, "I love yours nails, mommy." How cute is that? I swear I've never been all that girly, but man, she is one girly-girl.

Hannah woke up from her nap the other day crying that she wanted her camping and her Becca (my friend who we went camping with for the 4th) and would only hear, "Yes, sweetie, we'll go camping again soon." She must have been dreaming about our trip.

Hannah wants to go to Disneyland because Daddy has told her about the castle at the beginning of Disney films and how much fun that place is. Our answer has been "When you learn how to listen we can go." She says, "I'm listening right now, put shoes on, go to Disneyland!" My answer has changed to "When you're four."

Catching up -- Posted by Amy

It's been a while since the last posts. Brad's Uncle Jim passed away last week. Things have been a little hectic here and in Portola. We are all grieving as best we can. I'm sad that Hannah won't get to know him. May he rest in peace.

Hannah is growing like a weed - like the weeds in the back yard as a matter of fact. She is talking so well and surprises us everyday with the things she says. Of course she's very bossy about what she says. [sighs] Our little darling gave us a highlight this weekend by making a BM in the potty. Everyone was so excited and much hooting and hollering, dancing and jumping happened.

We are taking the Chevy in to the Auto Shop on Friday as it is overheating. Nice. You know, between the cars, we'd have one nice one. The Honda runs great but there's a problem with the A/C. It works at night and on cloudy days. The Chevy has A/C but keeps having problems. If I were a mechanic, I'd be tempted to make some sort of Frankenstein car.

A birthday party supply catalog came in the mail for the former residents of this house. Hannah squealed and has been chanting "I want my party!" (sounds like potty) She's also started with the "I want" mantra when we go shopping. It started out cute. . .

What else? um, the Sushi House on Baring Boulevard, across from Reed High, was very yummy and the people working there are fabulous. Cleaned up spilled milk without hating us. Of course, we went on a Monday night, so they weren't very busy. Hannah loved the sesame chicken from the Chinese restaurant that's attached. I was surprised because it had a little pepper/kick to it.

We are counting days between illness and keeping fingers crossed that people stay healthy. This smoke doesn't help, but a 24 hour allergy pill helps.

I don't have much else. We're keeping our chins up as best we can and trudging through the days until they get better.

Fed up -- Posted by Amy

I'm done with the needy child and naughty dog. Done!

Next time Brad leaves town for more than two days, we're hiring a dog walker or boarding the dog. I can't handle him. I should be able to take the little shyt on a walk without having my arm yanked off or him trying to run into the street while I'm trying to keep a stroller upright. He doesn't need to bark his head off at every bird, neighbor dog bark, neighbors strolling, leaves blowing, plane flying by - you get the idea. He also doesn't need to try to break down my door when he wants to come in. A simple scratch at the door is plenty. And really, stop following me to the bathroom! I swear there is nothing, I say NOTHING, in there that you want.

I know my child is sick. I know she wants her mommy, but really, I can't hold a two-year-old and cook at the same time. I'm not that coordinated. It's hard enough for me to cook without injuring my self. And mommy's potty time is not time to cuddle. You really can wait one minute for me to finish. Also, when mommy says "Yes, I will get you a drink" you can stop, repeat STOP, whining for something to drink. Yes means I will get it now stop asking again and again and again.

I probably might have more patience if either one of these pests had let me sleep last night. I miss my husband.

Rambling again -- Posted by Amy

  • Hannah was upset that I didn't have the Ghostbusters theme on my phone. Cute. Blame her daddy.
  • In the laundry room this morning, Boo pointed to all of the things coming out of the dryer that she "throwed up" on. Pleasant pre-caffeine conversation, child. I'll tell you though, her dad is a champ and my hero for taking care of most everything last night. My job was just to cuddle and calm and we made a great team.
  • Watched National Treasure 2 via iPod. The quality was not to shabby. Not quite as good as a DVD, in my opinion, but much better than Beta. We must remember we are spoiled in these future times. Oh, the film was fun. I really enjoy those movies.
  • Brad brought up the subject of camping and saving for a teardrop trailer. I'm daydreaming like crazy now. I think the tot is getting to a stage where she'll actually have fun camping and may not terrorize the entire campground with her wailing like she did before. Poor baby.

Rambling Update -- Posted by Amy

So time between posts is lengthy, but that just means we're busy. We stimulated Toy 'R Us on Friday, Costco on Saturday, and then Target and the grocery store on Sunday. Phew! That's a lot of shopping. Hannah should be pretty well set on shorts and T-shirts and pajamas. She's also got a new Thomas the Tank Engine jack-in-the-box. She's obsessed with Sir Toppam Hat popping out but is afraid to turn the crank because he scares her when he jumps out. What to do? What else? Oh, our front yard looks better, thanks to Brad. Not great, yet, but better. We'll need to cut down that last tree and have the mulberry stump taken out. Then comes the new sprinkler system that we'll need to save for. Maybe we should just buy some green spray paint. . . Work is hectic for Brad and just work for me. Petey stinks again after his bath yesterday, so that's his news. I don't know what he could have found in the back yard to roll in but it stinks like nothing I've ever smelled before. Ah, we do love him, though. Brad has Hannah singing the Ghostbusters song. It's cute. She also sings Mama Mia by Abba. We'll blame that one on the teachers at day-care. Well, Brad and I are going to watch Canon Ball Run. Good night!
