There are at least 500 things I should be doing right now that are more important and time-sensitive than updating my blog, but I am a procrastinator at heart. Plus the kiddos are at Gammy & Poppa's house and Mom just called to tell me that she made some chicken noodle soup for us. I'm feeling pretty spoiled right now. I think I'll ignore the groceries in the car and my church phone calls for a little longer...not to mention that mountain of laundry that keeps looking at me.

Katy is doing great after her surgery! She hasn't been rubbing or touching her eye so I haven't been making her wear the patch during her awake hours. She keeps talking about her zoo experience so I guess it was pretty fantastic for her. Last night she made Mom re-create it on the drawing board from Marie. She insisted on a puma for each drawing, but the rest Mom changed up a bit each time. It was pretty funny.Here are some recent vocab stuff that makes me laugh:
*I can't feel good = I don't feel good
*I don't find it = I can't find it
*I know dat = of course, don't be silly, I am smarter than you think I am
*cuckers = covers, as in pull the covers up to her chin for bed time
*pupaste = toothpaste
*hair brush = paint brush OR hair brush
*baby daguar = baby jaguar
*was is name-0 = BINGO Was His Name song request
*tinkle tinkle lidl staw = Twinkle Twinkle song request
*Kiki's teetee = Katy's tv, the red portable one
*I gotta full tummy = I don't want to do whatever you just said I have to do

OK, that's all I can think of for now. I know there are lots more but she is correcting herself so quickly that I barely catch the baby talk versions anymore. She used to say, "What hap-my?" for what happened, but she doesn't anymore. And "noke" instead of "nope".

Allen is still happy most of the time, even though he has a bad cold with snotty nose and congestion. His top right side tooth is now all the way in, with the top middle ones about to burst through the gums. Poor little Juicy! And Katy has been trying to lay on him lately. I don't think she believes he's a baby anymore and she's ready to wrestle him. In a few months he'll be able to win that match-up!

Lately Allen has been scooting backwards and he gets stuck up to his shoulders under the sofa. I know when I hear cries of distress that I'll see him propped up on his elbows with the rest of him under the sofa. Sometimes Katy tries to pull him out but she never even budges him. It's funny to see her try!

OK, I guess I better stop for now. These kids sure keep me laughing.
