$80 for a concert ticket, I can't imagine what a solo performance would be

At 8:30 this morning, this scene was going on across the street.


Gregg:Look Macy, there's a mariachi band.
Macy: They come all the way from Africa.
G: No, mariachi bands are from Mexico.
M: You mean where the cactus is? They come a long way from there too.
G: I bet they live around here.
M: What are they are doing there?
G: Maybe someone got them to sing for Mother's Day for our neighbor.
M: Maybe we buy Kenny to sing for mommy for Mother's Day.
G: No, I don't think so.

(the thought of Kenny singing in my yard will keep a smile on my face for weeks now)

big dud, big hug, little flash

For Macy, being in an Hannah Montana overdrive these days, a field trip to a Stephen Fite concert was a bit lame.

The other kids were jumping and screaming and all Macy wanted to do was tell me she was "boring of it" and try and climb in my lap. Because she's needy like that. Hardly.
finally a smile

About thirty minutes into it, she made a feeble attempt at getting her groove on. But her little hips weren't into it. I'll spare you the video clip because it is a lesser version of hip shakin' you are accustomed to.

Macy and Sofia at the end of the concert.

Oh, my Macy is back ~ hugging (choking) Sofia. Because she's a hugger.

She was thrilled to find a little sequin on the floor. A little flash is no doubt a great pick-me-up.

She gets it honestly. Yes, she does.

maybe MK should market this flavor

"I love her chocolate lipgloss!"

I thought Macy was talking about the new Mary Kay catalog on the table.

Nope.

this is as close as we are going to get

Gregg, Paige and I are all allergic to cats.

While we were at Petsmart the other day,
Macy said: When I am a mommy, I am going to have a cat.
Me: Oh no. Then Daddy, Paigey and I won't be able to come over because we are allergic.
Macy: That's ok. I'll just put the cat up.

I think I just did

As we were pulling into the neighborhood tonight...

Macy: Do you know what is white and nice?
Me: No, what?
Macy: A wish maker.
Me: I'm not sure I know what you are talking about.
Macy: 'Member those things in our neighborhood in the spring?
Me: You mean a dandelion?
Macy: Yeah, a dandelion.
....You should blog that.

Yes, she did.
I guess my little "hobby" is a household word these days.

oh, yes he is!

When Macy saw this at ToysRUs today she said, "Oh, no he's not!"

If you've been around me for 5 minutes, you'll get the humor in this. Macy hangs with me majority of the time so she picks up on my lingo.

I didn't ask for clarification of what she meant. But, if I had to guess:

No, he's not here at TRU. or...

No, he's not hanging out of a stocking.

Christmas Cheer

The other day I took Macy with me when I got my nails filled. I let her go a couple of times a year so she can get her nails and/or toes painted. Hey, $5 goes a long way at the nail salon on four year old fingers.

She wanted an angel painted on her fingers but settled on a Christmas tree ~ complete with snow! She woke up the next morning and told me that, "Mommy, it just feels like Christmas now that I have trees on my fingers!"

You know, I get that. She comes by it honestly ~ she is her mother's daughter! Love her!

Can I get pizza with that?

Gregg took Macy to the mall yesterday for lunch and to shop for my Christmas. He asked her while she was chomping her pizza, what did she think that I would want for Christmas.

She said, "I think she want some 'zert (dessert) and Dr. Pepper."

According to Macy, Dr. Joki's office is a joke

I took Paige to see Leslie, the RN, at the pediatrician's office this morning for Paigey's runny nose and cough. On the way home, Paige coughed. Macy said, "WELL, the dr. didn't work!" (i.e. that was a waste of time!)

Gingermaid

Macy was given a brown gingerbread shaped person to decorate over the weekend for a school project. The instructions said to "be creative" in the design. Ugh. I'm am so not craftsy-artsy-fartsy so this project did not sit too well with me.

We finally sat down to tackle it Monday after lunch. I asked Macy if she wanted to make a boy or girl ginger person. She said, "I want to make Ariel". So we did ~

Because, it is all about Ariel these days....

apparently I'm blind, fat, and rude

This occurred while we were walking through a store at the mall tonight:

Macy: Mama, yooouuuu didn't use your manners.
Me: What do you mean?
Macy: Because you bumped into that lady with your big bottom.

I have no idea what she was talking about ~ no lady in sight.

Painting Toes

I caught Paigey painting her toes the other day. Every time I paint mine, she'll plop down and stick out her feet and say "toe toes". Love it!
