Playing Around and Funnies

I've been playing around with the blog design a little bit this afternoon. I really like the way The Cutest Blog on the Block website works and I like a lot of their free backgrounds. If your blog needs a little face lift too, check out their site. I think I'm pretty happy with it for now---I just needed something fresh!

Also, Mara Kate has been really cracking us up lately. I just got out her baby book to write these things in it so we don't forget them. I try to write down anything cute or funny that she does so years down the road we can read them back to her and get a good laugh then too. :)

-Last night we were coming home from supper and I reminded Mara Kate that is was Daddy's "turn" to put her to bed that night. Background: We take turns so Kane will get almost an equal amount of time putting her to bed. Otherwise, she would ask for Mommy every night. It's not that I mind putting her to bed, but I do feel like she needs to be ok with either of us in case I am ever gone at bed time or something. Anyway, when I told her it was Daddy's turn she just said loudly and slowly, "Oooooooh, Noooooo!" Poor Kane. :(

-Last week she was sitting on my bed looking at books while I was nearby in my bathroom putting on my makeup and fixing my hair. She put her fingers up and said, "Mommy, there are 2, 3 no 6 LIONS walking around your bed!" I was quite surprised to find that out! Then she said, "But, I am safe because I am up on the bed!" Good thing!

-Today she told me there were giants under the couch. Oh! I didn't even know she knew what giants were. I asked her, "What are giants, Mara Kate?" She said, "They are really big!" Ok, so I guess she does know. Then she said as she pointed under the couch again, "There's a "daddy giant", "a mommy giant" and a "kid giant". Wow!
