Maryn's Words

This is more of a way for me to remember the things she says- and maybe they'll make you smile.

Today we worked in my garden to get it ready for spring. You may remember how it looked after Dede planted it...



And now it looks nothing like that. Maybe we'll get there. I already called Debbie twice today to ask questions and I sent her a picture on my phone to ask if something was a weed or a plant. Anyway we discovered a rolly polly which Maryn called a holy holy. Then we had to but on our gloves to dig in the dirt- or our globs as she referred to them.

One other random thing she says incorrectly is binoculars. Not surprising that a not even two and a half year old calls them noculators. She is very verbal but still says things in her own cute little way although she has grown out of saying nummy (known to you as tummy) and nomas (Thomas- the train that is).

The Things They Say 2

This may have to be a weekly post...

Parker: Mom, can I take my garbage trucks with me to heaven?

Grandma is here with us for the week (Thank you Grandma!!) and she, Maryn and Parker were upstairs tonight telling stories. That's Parker's newest thing. He loves to hear stories about volcanoes, firemen, and policemen. His favorite are when you involve him- Mark told him one last night where he got to drive the firetruck. "That was a great story, Dad." Anyway, Grandma was telling a camping story that involved wolves. Maryn started crying and climbed into Grandma's lap. "I don't like wolves, Grandma." Grandma: "It's only a story, Maryn. Why don't you like wolves?"
Maryn: "They blow people's houses down."

Stay tuned for more...

The Things They Say

I have really been enjoying my friend, Lauren's, blog posts (or is it my friend's, Lauren,??) "Overheard at my house." Just now at the Ray house...

Me: Maryn, why is there water all over the bathroom floor?

Maryn: three or four unintelligible words

Me: What, Mer?

Maryn: I'm planting seeds (as she fills her cups with water and pours them all over the counter).

Almost...

I almost got out of Target with only the things on my list. Does that EVER happen? Not to me. I was pretty proud of myself walking to the checkout lane until I saw these...
No, they're not Godiva and yes, they'd be better if they were made with dark chocolate but YUM! I couldn't get the bag open myself so I asked the check-out girl for some scissors. Is that too obsessive about chocolate?

Winter Wonderland

It's 11 pm Sunday night and it has been snowing big, beautiful snowflakes since about 6 pm. We have at least 4 inches. Will try to get some pictures of the kids playing tomorrow. Mark informed me tonight that he's never made a snowman before so we will be sure to fix that!!
