Disney World
Wow. I have been getting bad about blogging. Really bad. Although I think once or twice a month is just all I have in me now, especially at this time of year! We have been quite busy. In the last month, our fantastic three-year old turned FOUR!
We went to Disney World in a bit of a birthday celebration, and we all had a fabulous time. Megan was soooo very excited. She loved the princesses the most. She got to have a princess lunch, and then during one of the parades, Snow White saw her excitement, and actually danced over and gave her a HUG. Megan talked of nothing else for a few days.
I still need to download some photos from our other camera, but here are a few to start!

Megan spies a jack o lantern
Some photo fun after a night of trick or treating, and just before blowing out that candle!

A little lawyer in the making?
Chris and I have had more than a few discussions that we seem to have a lawyer in the making. It just seems that if we discuss a rule, we have to be very clear on all the variations of said rule. Otherwise, Megan can find the one avenue we haven't really forbidden, somehow sticking to the letter of the law, if not the spirit of the law.
Today, the unfortunate victim of that was our dog Zoey. Zoey is a great great great dog. She gets climbed on, pulled on, and generally tormented, but hardly ever even whines. This morning, she was asleep and Megan jumped on her, and a very startled Zoey did nothing more than bark at her sudden menace. Megan cried for 20 minutes, and kept telling me that Zoey hurt her feelings. She is also a sensitive soul.
So back to the lawyer. You all might recall about 6 months ago, when are little darling cut her own hair (and you know how little hair she has ever had). Right before school pictures too. And before my sister's wedding where she was the flower girl.
At least ONCE a WEEK we still discuss this incident, usually when I am frustratedly trying to get that now odd length spot of hair on her head to try to fit into the ponytail, or at least not stick up.
She says -- "I know, I'm sorry Momma." or "I won't cut my hair" "I promise -- I know I am NOT supposed to cut my hair." We discuss this rule frequently, and she has indicated perfect understanding.
Yet today, when I found several sections of HAIR ON THE FLOOR and I looked at my child -- she told me, with no shame -- "It's okay Momma, I just cut Zoey's hair"
Our poor puppy dog. I guess we need to have the dog hair discussion too! Better not leave out the cat either, for good measure!

If only I'd had my camera
Kid absolutely cracked me up yesterday. I was almost LITERALLY rolling on the floor. I was laughing out loud.
I "lost" her and went wandering about the house to find her. She turned up in our bathroom, and as I looked in the crack at the door hinge, I spied Megan, pants at her ankles, sitting on the potty. Feet dangling. In her lap, she has a magazine and is flipping through the pages of BEER magazine... I chuckled, which prompted a "Mom -- I'm going Poop! Get out!"
By the time I found a camera, she was washing her hands. And really, I guess that shouldn't be a Kodak moment, but it was hysterical!

New Winnie the Pooh Book Review
Since my mom pointed out that the new Pooh book was out, and I was COMPLETELY unaware, I have since stumbled across this article / review and felt it was my duty to share!
If you had an entire Winnie the Pooh room in your house, you'd share too!

Puddle jumping
puddle jump, originally uploaded by homanhouse.
So much water. At the end, she is actually bending down to WRING OUT her dress.
Splish Splash
after the rain kids music, originally uploaded by homanhouse.
It is crazy. It has rained and rained and rained here. Almost four straight days now of light rain. It is nice. We need the rain. For once, it is rain without tons of lightening and thunder (some, enough to reset all my clocks twice) but still -- a generally gray cloud light rain.
However, a whole weekend of rain makes the kid a bit restless (crazy wall climbing is more like it!) So when it lightened up for a bit on Sunday, and Megan asked if she could play in the water and rain, I said "Of course!" I think it was more like, "yes yes yes! please get OUT of the house for a while and run lots!" "oh yeah -- and take the dog too!" Zoey got led on several laps around the cul de sac before the kids abandoned her to splish in the water.
She must have run like this for about an HOUR straight with only a few water breaks!
Needless to say, bedtime was fantastic! I don't care about the dripping wet laundry and the extra bath for the day. She tired herself out and quit climbing the walls!
