first of all, what is up. i have the radio on and they are playing CHRISTMAS music. for one thing... the weather outside is NOT frightful, just shut up and stop reminding me that it will be soon! whatever happened to letting THANKSGIVING happen before you bombard us with this! please.
ok so maybe i woke up a little crabby. what is up with DAYLIGHT SAVINGS. i think we should just say no. how do we change that law? my girl got up at 4:22 this morning. so very not cool.
and after tomorrow - there will be no more stupid political ads! hooray!
happy monday to all and to all a good day. and not in a christmas-y sort of way.
i have to share a couple of cute girlie things. she is asserting herself so well, but she has given some words new meanings. or really, just not bothered to learn the correct word. at least she knows what she wants. yesterday, we were coming out of target. a gust of cool air hit us and from her perch on daddy's shoulders, she said, "oooooh! HOT!"... she recognizes temperature but hasn't affixed the word "cold" to the opposite. likewise, she says "up" when she wants you to pick her up. but when she wants to get DOWN, from your arms, from off the bed, whatever ~ it's still "UP!"
she can also count to five. it is beyond cute. i've tried to catch it on video but when i jolt for the video camera she clams up. she tends to do it when she's in her own little world, she'll take off her socks and 'count' her toes. she'll sing the abc song (muddling through most of it)... but she won't do it if you ask. this girl does nothing on demand.
except for for daddy. he can get her to do a lot more things than i can. when she pulls things out of the cupboard, daddy will tell her to "put it back". and she will. and shut the door even. crazy.
happy monday, again.
Happy Monday to you too! And I am so ready for the election to happen too!

I am SO with you! We went to the outlet stores south of us on Sunday - all holiday music! I am ready for the holiday season, but really . . . Christmas music on November 2nd?! And I am beyond ready for the election season to be over! CO is a battleground state - I am averaging 6 political phonecalls a day, and I can't remember the last time I didn't get a political flyer in the mail!

I hate daylight's savings too. It sucks. Luckily the kids are adjusting, but does it have to be dark at 4:30? What a pain in the ass!

The political ads stopped JUST IN TIME for the Christmas commercials. Seriously... already?
Monkey girl counting her toes... how sweet is that. I spend hours of my days trying to capture cuteness like that on video, and I usually don't get what I want.
