Zina's words and things

Zina has a few words, besides her versions of mommy and daddy. And they come with great stories, too. At least I think so.

*Zina says "Hi". I noticed this when she stole my cell phone and kept saying hi to it. The funniest thing she says hi to is Tina's stapler that she keeps on her bag. Zina just tries and tries to get it off and talk to it!

*Zina says "Bye". It usually doesn't coordinate with actually going anywhere, but she likes to say it.

*Zina says "Up". It usually means, "Take off my clothes!" She says it over and over while trying to take her shirt or dress off. I guess I told her to put her arms up when I change her clothes. Up also means she wants out of her high chair or sometimes her carseat.

Silly Sayings, by Zachary

Zach has gotten pretty silly lately. I am horrible about writing these down, so I decided I would blog on them. At least I will be able to reference it again later when I have time to scrapbook!

*When Zach wants into a conversation, or most anytime he talks, he says, "Oh, are we?", "Oh, did we?" and "Oh, can we?"

*If Zach does not want to do what I ask, he has two replies, "I'm just happy right now." or "I'm busy right now."

*He retells EVERYTHING we do.

*He wakes up in the night and tells us, "But I'm scared of something." I have no idea what the something is.

*If he sees anything on his carpet, he runs to me and says, "Mommy, there's a bug on my floor!"

*Today he went to school with Steven and I and insisted he was hungry and needed pretzels. We have never had pretzels at the school. Then, when we were eating the pretzels, he takes a bite and says, "Mommy, now it's a button!" Then he changed to saying it was a pumpkin. What an imagination!

*He is constantly "cooking" for me. It used to be just, "Alicious", now it is eggies, cookies and yummy. And if I don't pretend to eat it it offends him.

That is about all I can think of right now. But, then, he is asleep! Just wait till later. I am sure there will be more to add to it!

Couple Pictures of my boy (from a few weeks ago)

Pictures of my babies

Just thought I would post a couple pictures. The first is Zina at just about 10 months old. And the second is of Zachary at about the same age. They are about the same size for age now and it is fun to put their pictures side by side.

A great day at Grandma's house

A few weeks ago we went to my parent's house. I had an appointment and needed a sitter. Of course, a grandma always likes to have her grandbabies. And my mom got it good, she had all three of her grandbabies at one time. I tried hard, and got a great picture of the three of them playing nice together. Zina, Zach and Crew. Together they are so BUSY! I have had all three for a little bit here and there, and it makes me so very thankful I did not have a baby between my two. Crew fits almost exactly between my two. I love it, but am glad I don't have all three busy ones at a time all the time!
And in a bit we are heading out to the Grandma's again. Well, we are seeing both sides, so not going there right now. But it will be great! My babies and my nephew get to play again. And it is a birthday party, too. Yes, Crew will be two! More for that later.

A letter from a citizen

I couldn't word it better than Ana at Sunrise on the Water. Go here to read a well written letter.

Halloween pictures

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Halloween. Enjoy!!!!

VOTE today!

The picture has nothing to do with the post, technically. But I thought it would be good, with the caption, "Duh!!", on a post about voting. He's got the idea!

Please, please vote today! It is a right and priveledge to vote. We are able to choose our political leaders and representatives, and not all have this opportunity. Vote for who you believe will be the better leader, or just vote for the lesser of two evils. Either way, you have a say in our government. And if that does not convince you, just think, if you vote you have the right to complain. That is how I have thought of it in the past. At least I will have a right to complain!
