Mallory & Alli had a surprise playdate tonight! Alli’s mom had some crazy stuff go down at work today and called with to see if we could bring Alli home with us from school for a few hours. Of course I said yes – it is almost easier having two than just one!! Plus, Rick was with me since Monday is his light day so I figured it would be a fun evening.
When we got to daycare, none of the teachers knew we were taking Alli with us (even though Alli’s mom had left a voicemail), but they didn’t even …
Month: September 2008
Semi-successful
She fell asleep and stayed asleep in her new big girl bed last night; this is how we found her at about 9p.
I think it’s so cute how she curled up in the only enclosed area of the bed.
But then we heard from her around 4:30a – she was beyond distressed and I realized that we don’t have a nightlight in her room so she probably woke up and freaked out being in a new bed in the pitch dark. We’ll have to rethink putting her in the big bed again tonight; the day will be here soon enough …
Ahlo!!! (spoken with a British accent)
Mallory inherited our old cordless phone and likes to carry it around and pretend to call people.
She doesn’t normally say “hello” so the fact that she’s saying hello like the British is hysterical. That and the new thing of pretending to actually dial numbers cracks me up.
Boat & Bed
Well, we didn’t make it to the apple orchard, the pumpkin farm, the zoo or get any yardwork done or go on a hayride. But we had a fun family day none-the-less.
Rick was home before Mallory & me yesterday, which is not normal Friday football season behavior. The three of us were able to take Cooper for a walk in the woods. Rick has been bugging me about walking (after I complain about not being able to go for my daily walks) and I think after our “walk” yesterday he gets why I don’t get out daily like I used …
No school, mommy
Here is our funny little girl waking up in the Friday morning. I thought we had a few years before she didn’t want to wake up to go to school?

We had our first OB appointment today :-) And we ended up getting a quicky ultrasound! Everything looks great and we have our big ultrasound scheduled for October 20.
She's soooooo ladylike…
So, I just went to check on Mallory and this is how I found her:

Forgot to post that Mallory & I went to see my friend and her 8+ mo old twins. My friend asked Mallory if she wanted to take a baby home with her to get used to having a baby in our house. The whole rest of our visit, Mallory was saying “baby, home?” and we’d ask her which one she wanted to take with us and she’d always point at Jake. And then our whole trip home, she’d ask me “where babies go, mama?”
It’s …
Hmmmmmm….
So, Mallory’s new thing is “What dat, Mama, hmmm?”
I am trying to pay attention more when I talk to her to see if she picked it up from me. But it is so funny to hear her say “hmmmm?”.
She also says “K” for OK all the time. It is hysterical. She says it 100 times more than she says yes and it’s another random thing that we are trying to figure out how it made it’s way into her vocabulary.

This week has been somewhat uneventful. Rick didn’t have work Sunday night like he normally does, but did on …
All fixed, and other good news
My stupid car is already fixed and we don’t to have to pay a dime for the repairs (since the problem was “most likely” a result of the work the dealer did on it a month ago).
And the dealership is going to reimburse us the $140 towing charges.
(This should be on the Arlo blog but it’s all part of my good news Tuesday so I’ll share here). And, I got the results of our genetics testing and everything is normal. YEAH!!!!!
Since I’m up
Rick ran out to get some ice to make smoothies at like 10.30p or whatever and just called to tell me that my H^&T#J()UD)*&#^$^*#(&)&^ car died – like just shut off while he was driving. That it smells like gas, looks like there is a puddle of gas under the car, and that it sounds like gas is pouring out of the engine as he is trying to start it (and I had 3/4 of a tank of $4.50/gallon of gas in there).
Out.Stand.Ing.
He is about two miles from our house. With the dog. Mallory is asleep. So was I.
Have I …
