Things she says & things on my mind.

I will go ahead & warn whoever is reading - this post is all over the place. 

Mallory is sooo funny to Patrick & I with the things she says.  Half the time, I will try to recall something she said that made me laugh or surprised me & I can never remember!  Therefore, I have started trying to write down some stuff when possible.  Here are a few things she has said the last couple of weeks:

While I was trying to gather her toys out of the tub - NO hippo!!  I got to wash you, little fella!!!

I got an idea!!

We were playing with her sidewalk chalk & she was naming things for me to draw -
sun!
square!
triangle!
heart!
circle!
yo-yo!
I don't know!
A man! (I don't know why, but that really made me laugh!)

What's that mess on my bed?!

Surfs Up!!!  (We think she got that from bible school, it was a surf theme but she now randomly says it all the time)

I've got to color in my diaper!!!

Me:  Here are your ponies to color.
Mallory: Good idea!!

I want a princess party.  With bunnies!

While talking to her granny today, Leroy (who she has always called Papa), wants a piece of apple!

This is something that we as southerners never say, but for some reason Mallory has picked up - you guys.  & sometimes she will refer to me as guy.  For example - where you going guy?

She has a doll that she keeps in my car & usually holds her while she is in her carseat.  One day on the way home I asked her what her baby's name was.  She replied - Patrick!  & ever since that day, that is what she calls that baby. 

She also has gotten really into singing lately.  She sings in a VERY high pitch voice, it is hilarious.  Her favorite songs are Jesus Loves Me (which melts my heart) & Farmer in the Dell.

Now for the things on MY mind-

We are having family pictures made this weekend.  I'm already stressing about it because I expect everything to be perfect & I know in reality that it won't be.  I need to lose ten pounds and get a tan by Saturday morning.  Ahh...I hope I can chill and just go with the flow & actually enjoy the experience.  I am excited about Mallory's outfits though...she has a couple of cute dressy outfits along with these cuties that just came in today:

I'm thinking they would be cute with jeans..maybe rolled up a little & this cute ruffled top:

I don't know how many wardrobe changes she will last through, but I love this top too with a pair of skinny jeans & sandals.

  
In addition to that stress, I am hosting bunco Monday night where I have obligated myself to cooking a meal & dessert for 12 people.  Oh & I volunteered to bake a dessert for a church function Sunday night.  Oh & there is no way I can get off work early Monday, because it will be a super busy day.  If anyone reading is interested in playing, we need a sub.  Get up with me!

Patrick & I have a meeting to get life insurance policies tomorrow night.  New mortgage = life insurance policy needed.  I really do feel all grown up now! 

I am so hooked on Big Brother this season!  I've only watched one other entire season & it was the one where Dick & Danielle were the final two so I was excited to see them back.  Rachel is driving me crazy though...she is annoying & has got to go! 

Pinterest is my new best friend.  In a world where so much ugliness goes on, Pinterest is full of beauty!!  Seriously, if you haven't joined - go do it!
