I don't have any pics today, just some funnies that I wanted to share. Last night, we were sitting on the couch and watching TV. Cailin pulled up my shirt and said, (totally out of the blue) "Kylie come out! Come see Cailin." Then, she so sweetly kissed my belly. It was the sweetest! So, we brought out hers and Kylie's scrapbooks to show her Kylie's sono pics. Then, we showed her pics of herself when she was a little baby. She loved looking at them.

I only have 1 more week to work, then I'm quitting. My doctor wanted me to take it easy. She thought that I was getting preclampsia, but luckily it wasn't. I knew I had been pushing it the past few weeks, having a lot of back pain and a few Braxton Hicks contractions. I was so exhausted and getting swollen at the end of the day. So, I'm only working 4 hour days until I quit. It has been so nice the past few days only working 4 hours.

Today, I was reminded that I am going to miss my job. We see mostly elderly people and they say the funniest things! The other day this man said, "Well you look like you are in a motherly way." I was thinking, "jeez, you think?" I just smiled and answered a "yes". Then, this lady yesterday was asking me if this was my first baby. I told her no that I had a 2 yr. old daughter. She said, "well you can always try again. It took me 6 times until I had a boy." I said, "we definately aren't going to try that many times." Why do people always think you Have to have a boy? To tell you the truth, I never wanted a boy. Warren does, but just to do boy things with, not for a namesake or anything. Today, this 92 yr. old lady was getting off of the exam table and she said, "Honey, my pins sure are shaky." Her pins were her legs. Funny! These are just what I can remember, there have been some crazy things people say and do.

Well, I better go. Bye!

Did you know that fairies eat pizza?

Cailin came in the kitchen several days ago with these fairy wings on (she put them on herself while in her room) and asked for some pizza. Ha! So I served her up some pizza and grabbed the camera, of course!
Yesterday was a decent weather day so we took advantage of it and went to the park. This is a pic of just before we left. She always looks so grown up to me with pig-tails, though I'm not sure why.
This was her this morning on the way out the door to go to church. She gets ready easily when she knows she's going to church. Every other day it's a struggle! She's always ready to see Alta, Thurman (her church grandparents) and Karimah, Sarah (girls in our Sunday school class. She told me this morning, "I ready to go to church. I ready to sing Hallelujah." That's at the end of a song that we sing. She's such a little socialite at church. She holds out her hand when people greet her to shake their hand, just like the grown-ups.
This is what the birds are tweating about around our house today! I know I am way too funny! Ha,ha! We made these birdseed biscuits in our Sunday school class this morning. Warren and I teach the 4th, 5th and 6th grade class. I got the idea out of the Family Fun magazine. I thought they came out cute. A little Valentine treat for the birdies.
I've got to scrap several new pages in Cailin's books lately. I'll take some pics of them and share them on the next post. Bye!

Let's Go Do The Hop

I couldn't resist~ Here's the video of her doing the Hop! It's soooo funny! Oops! I'm an idiot, I recorded this with the camera turned sideways to get a better shot. I didn't realize that my video would stay turned! Jeez! Don't laugh!

Today looks like it's going to be a beautiful day here. We'll have to make a trip to our little playground behind our house. It's so nice to have little playgrounds near our house. The one behind our house is perfect for Cailin, it has small slides and swings. She loves it!
We started our morning off eating these yummies:

They are Cranberry Orange Muffins. I had a bag off fresh cranberries left over after Christmas baking, so I froze them. I love cranberries! These were very good, but when you bit into a big chunk of fresh cranberries, it was pretty bitter. I think next time I'll try dried cranberries (they are a bit sweeter). Cailin ate one by herself, she loves muffins! Here's the recipe if you want to try them out:

2 c. all-purpose flour 1 c. quick-cooking oats 3/4 c. sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 3/4 c. orange juice 1 egg 1/3 c. veg. oil 1 T. orange peel, grated 3/4 c. chopped cranberries

Preheat oven to 35o degrees. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking bowder and baking soda. In another bowl, combined orange juice, egg, oil and orange peel: mix well. Stir into large bowl of dry ingredients until just moistened. Fold in cranberries. Spoon into muffin tins with baking cups. Bake 17-20 minutes. It made about 16 reg. sized muffins.

Cailin has really been into wearing pretty dresses and trying on mommy's pretty heels! Every morning when I get her ready for the day, she has begun to making her requests known as to what she wants to wear. It started a few weeks ago, when she started telling me what color shirt she wanted (and getting really mad when I didn't agree with her). Here lately she has been wanting to only wear dresses. So last week she wore a dress to daycare twice. So cute!

Here's a cute pic of her trying to put my shoes on.

Anyone remember the show Kid Songs that used to be on about 20 years ago?
OMG! She loves these videos. She has the one above about the animals and she has a dance one were they do all these different dances. Her favorite dance is the Charleston dance. I caught her dancing along with the video this morning.

I am SO going to put her in dance class when she turns 3! There is a really good dance instructor in our town and she starts kids at 3. I might try to convince her to start Cailin a little early. She can follow along pretty good and she doesn't forget the moves. Last night, we had a meeting a church to go to. There was about 12 adults in this little room. Towards the end, Cailin was standing in front of us singing and doing this dance off of the animal Kid Songs video. Everyone was laughing and one of her favorite ladies, Alta, was dancing with her, which made her dance even more. I have an even funnier video of her doing the HOP. I'll save it for another day. I think the post is getting very long! Hope everyone has a blessed day! Bye!
