I love to document cute or funny things that Boo says. Here are a few recent ones that I took the time to write down so I wouldn't forget:
This was right after Christmas and Boo was sitting on the couch playing her new game. She must've been thinking really hard.
Boo: Santa isn't real.
Me: Uh huh...
Boo: But Jesus is real.
Me: You're right.
Boo: And Jesus is the reason we celebrate Christmas. And give presents. And be with our families.
Me: Yep.
Boo: But Jesus isn't in the sky...
Me: Oh really?
Boo: Yeah, because when we flew to Washington in the airplane, I didn't see him.
Me: So... where is Jesus?
Boo: Well, he's sometimes in the sky, but he just wasn't when we flew to Washington.
Me: I see...
~*~*~*~*~*~
Just this morning, we went to the post office. She likes to race me back to the car by running down the wheelchair ramp while I use the stairs.
Boo: Mom, I ran so fast!
Me: Yes! You did!
Boo: Yep. ...Mom? Was there dust?
Me: What?
Boo: Was there dust behind me when I ran so fast?
Me: ....of course there was... since you're such a fast runner.
Boo: Yep. I'm SO fast.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Boo has quite a few names for Rex. The most frequently called ones are Little Mister, Trouble,
Little one, Stinky or Stinky Mister (when he needs a diaper change).
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Boo is having a hard time understand who she can marry. She talks about it a lot.
Boo: Mom, I'm going to marry Rex when I get older.
Me: You can't marry Rex because he's your brother.
Boo: Okay, then I'll marry Daddy.
Me: You can't marry Daddy because I'm married to your Daddy.
Boo: We can both be married to Daddy!
Me: ...no. Your Daddy is already married. You'll have to find someone else to marry.
Boo: Then I'll marry Rex!
Me: You can't marry him because he's your brother! You have to marry someone not in your family. Like one of your friends that is a boy.
Boo: But they aren't in my family!
Me: I know. That's the point.
Boo: So I won't be in your family any more?
Me: No, you still will. You'll just have your own family then.
Boo: But I want to stay in your family! That's why I'm going to marry Rex. Cause he's part of my family.
Me: But you can't...
Boo: Uh huh!
Me: I give up. Marry your brother.

"I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date!"
"No time to say hello, goodbye, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" What a better way to start off the year than with being late...
I uploaded these pictures.... at the beginning of December and never got around to narrating and posting them. So here I am, trying to return to that land of the living - trying to catch up - and the first thing I need to do to update my blog is post this. I have tons more pictures that will have to wait patiently until I find a few more spare minutes.
Quick update:
*We had a great Christmas, we stayed home and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
*We had a great Thanksgiving, we didn't stay home and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as well.
*And Halloween was good too. Boo enjoyed it quite immensely, Rex on the other hand, didn't care.
*I spent the greater part of November up north with my parents and was joined by Bo before Thanksgiving. It was a nice little vacation, but it's always nice to get back to reality, and laundry.
*We had 2 funerals in a week the first part of December, both were family. I think we've had our fair share for a while.
*Rex is almost 8 months!! And has started solid food. Crawling. Standing up on furniture (we're sure he'll be walking soon). Eating everything in sight. And talking quite a lot. Now on to get him to sleep through the night.
*Boo is a great big sister. It's nice that Rex is a little more entertaining to her since he became mobile. They usually play quite nicely together.... until he disturbs her current project and she squeals for me to "come get Rex, he's getting my stuff!"
*After 24 batches of caramels, I think we're done! Halle-freaking-lujah! Now I can stop EATING them. Darn things. But they taste so good... I went a whole day yesterday without eating one. That's a first since we started making them over a month ago. Too bad I have 3 batches to cut and wrap today, or maybe I'd go another day with out eating one... but I won't. ...I don't think my teeth can handle much more!
That's about it.... that I can think of for now. I'm shocked and amazed that I've neglected blogging for so long. I have haven't had 2 minutes to rub together to find extra time in my day. Although, life gets better each day with Rex now crawling, he's not such a demanding baby anymore, and I can leave him to play while I get stuff done. It's refreshing. Anyway, on to the pictures - in no particular order:
Bo and Boo being silly. I was taking picture of his mustache when he was growing it out. He has since cut it.
I couldn't resist taking a picture. He looked so cute. Rex had fallen asleep after his bath one Sunday morning.
Rex and Boo in the rocking chair my dad made. It was pretty much the first documented smile from Rex.
We've been trying to make a goal to do more activities as a family on weekends. These pictures must've been taken in early November, maybe even October... Boo decided that we needed to go to the park "as a family" - that's her new favorite phrase, along with "is it family home evening night?"
Rex starting solid food and being unimpressed. He didn't like the Rice cereal, but loves Oatmeal. More than that he loves feeding himself. Anything he gets his hands on goes right in his mouth. The good things is that he's finally stopped choking on things and started to chew pretty well in spite of his lack of chompers. The bad thing, he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. Paper on the floor, dirt, leaves, paperclips, etc... I'm just waiting for him to poop out an ornament.
These pictures were Rex just smiling for me. I took a bunch, he's got a really sweet smile. The pants picture is for posterity. I took one of Boo when she was about his age with pants on her head. I was going to post them side by side, but hadn't gotten the energy to find the picture of Boo and scan it and post it. Someday... someday I'll have time...
Halloween.... um, yeah. I can't believe I'm posting about it 3 months later. Oh well. Boo was a cowgirl/sheriff. But I think she just looks like a rodeo queen, but don't say that to her, it makes her mad because she is "not a queen!" Her favorite part of the outfit, the guns. She is her daddy's little girl.
