Do You Need To Go Potty?

One of the funny conversations in our home.....

Allie was holding her bum like she needed to go to the bathroom.

MOM: Allie do you need to go potty?

ALLIE: No, I dust having bum pwoblems

MOM: you are?

ALLIE: Ya, I dust having bum pwoblems. My unerwears are ticking to my bum.

Oh my, where does she come up with these things?

Disney on Ice

My friend Tenneil and I decided to suprise our daughters (Allie and Hannah) and take them on a trip to Salt Lake to see Disney on Ice. Allie got to ride on tracks for the first time and loved it. There was one time that the train started to go and Allie did a head plant off the seat. I was able to slow her decent but she still bonked her head on my shoe. I think she was more scared then hurt. She kept asking me when we will be getting off the train to see the suprise. We got to the energy solutions arena and it was amazing how many booths were set up for suveniers. Allie got a big bag of Kettle corn, the cutest little Tinkerbell cup and spoon (the cup had a snowcone in it) and cotton candy that came with a flower hat. She was excited to see the Little Mermaid come out on the ice. She cheered and tried to clap her hands but it was difficult with the snowcone. The Disney cars were amazing. Their eyes and mouths moved and they looked exactly like in the movie. Allie was the most antsy when Tinkerbell came out. She was telling me that it was just like in her movie. she would raise her hand in the air and cheer. It was so fun seeing her excitment and watching her face as Tinkerbell flew through the air. I would love to take her again if the princesses decide to come.

Update to "getting in the groove"

It has now been 2 months since I decided to start working on getting healthy and happy. I have now lost 18.6 lbs and am still working hard. Recently I ran for an hour on my treadmill and now the knees aren't feeling the greatest, but I'm not willing to give up. It is amazing how much better I feel eating fruits and veggies and no so much chocolate and candies, mmmmm chocolate....... Allie is now reaching in to the fruit bin for a snack and not asking for candy so much. It makes me feel good that I am teaching my kids healthy habits.

Where Did she Hear That?

I was in my room that other day and Allie walked in with 2 markers in her hand. I asked her what she was doing with them and she said that she is playing with her "crash cymbals". She asked me if I wanted to come listen to her concert. So I walked into the kitchen and there was a blanket spread out on the floor and she told me to sit on the blacket for the concert. She then sat at the kitchen table and started hitting the markers together and said "1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 and started banging the markers on the table. when she was finished she set one of the markers down and grabbed another marker and hit it against the vase of flowers that was on my table. The vase was her crash cymbals. Where she came up with this, I have no idea.

A tidbit of information from Allie (age 3)

We were driving home from Provo today and it was raining a little and as I turned on the windshield wipers Allie asked me if it was raining. I told her it was. She then asked me if I knew where the rain came from. Wanting to hear her idea of where it came from I repeated the question to her. "Where does the rain come from Allie?" Allie says "MOM, it comes from the cwouds. The Funder makes sounds and then the rain comes down, drop, drop, drop, cause of the funder storm." Pretty impressive!
