Friday Funnies

I don't have a lot of funny moments this week.  Mostly because this week sucked.  With tornadoes and an absentee husband, not to mention the tantrums Reese began this week and the exhaustion of the end of the year, well you get the point.  Here are a few things that are cracking me up right now.

1.  Reese loves to play with lotion.  A squirt or ten at a diaper change is one life's greatest pleasures. Today she opened the bottle, squirted a little and got a face full.  She laughed an evil little laugh and then said, "o-shay" which is "okay" in baby language but the way she got so excited it came out suspiciously like "oh shit."  And I thought that was very appropriate for the situation.  And she probably has heard that a time or two these days.

2.  I went to check on her the other night before I went to bed.  I looked in and put her blanket over her and she stirred, rolled over and then cut a big toot.  It was so funny that I had to run out of the room to keep from waking her up with laughter.

3.  This week I fell down at school.  I have a chair with rolling wheels and I leaned over to grab a paper from my counter.  The wheels got away from me and I ended up flat on the floor with my feet in the air.  A kid came over and said, "who, Mrs. Neal, one minute you were sitting there and the next all I saw were two feet in the air."  He asked how I was and then said, "sorry, but that was funny."  I bet it was if kids laughed, they're usually very kind in those situations.

4.  We obviously had to duck and cover the other day.  One of the teachers, trying to pass the time, said, "Count backwards from 100 and then it should all be over."  I leaned to her and said, "or they could say their alphabet backwards so they can practice up for DWIs later."  Totally innappropriate but we laughed about that all day.

Well, it's almost the weekend.  Hallelujah for a long weekend and only two more days of school.  Have a great Memorial Day, Everyone!

Lately Reese has been pretty funny.  And cute.  But then again, she's always been cute.  Here are a few of my favorite things she's done lately.

1. As we leave the house every morning she blows kisses to the dogs and tells them bye-bye.  The other morning she kissed them bye but she put her hand to my mouth so I would blow them a kiss too.  Then we went to Hobby Lobby where she saw a picture of a hook and pull rug with a dog on it on a banner hung from the ceiling.  As we left the aisle she waved and blew kisses to the banner too.  I'd say she has a thing for dogs.

2.  Reese has been throwing things away left and right.   I've seen everything from dog food to hand towels.  The other day I went to throw away my dental floss and noticed a five dollar bill.  Guess she thought we wouldn't be needing that!

3.  We found a new baby stroller for Reese the other day.  She loves pushing babies around and was just so thrilled by the new toy.  By Tuesday she was pretty bored with it though.  She wasn't content anymore just pushing it, instead she demanded that I get up and push it.  And as if that wasn't enough she sat down on the floor and watched me push her baby stroller around. 

4.  Dustin and Reese have a lot of tickle fights and do some of the rough stuff that daddies do with kids.  They were on the bed and every time she went to get up he would gently knock her down and they'd laugh.  After 5-6 times Reese decided she'd had enough.  She stood up and made the sign for "all-done."  Guess that works other places besides the dinner table!
