Poom

The girls do not say "shoot" or "gun." Not because we don't use the correct terminology, but because they are cute and funny and created their own words.

They don't shoot bad guys with their guns...
They poom bad guys with their poomers.

Too funny.

Benders

Addy calls knuckles, "benders." Hearing that made my day. ♥

Lots of Birds

Lorelai after walking through a parking lot full of birds.

L: I know a new scary thing of mine...lots of birds.


My kid.

How You Know You Are Acing The Mom Gig

Lorelai: "Mom! Addy almost hit me!"

Me: "Well, get back to me when she actually hits you."

Peeping Addy

Chris: "Ok, I'm going to go take a shower now."

Addy: "Ok, I'll watch."

Chris: "What?! No!"

I laughed for a good, long time.

Birds

For some reason, Lorelai has a fascination with watching birds. She is terrified of getting pooped on, but watching them from afar delights her and Adalaide.

Lorelai has come up with names for a clusters of birds doing different activities.

If the birds are flying together in the sky, it's called a "bird show."
If they are all perched on a power line (and singing) it's a "bird church."
If there is an especially large group of birds flying it's called a "bird finale."

If a lone bird is sitting by themselves it's called "bird alone time."
This one is most amusing seeing as Lorelai (from a very young age) says she need "alone time" quite often...she's passed this trait off to animals too.

They don't know it yet, but I have ordered a painted wood plank with birds sitting on wires. It will say "bird church." Our family will love it, and our guests will be very confused. ;-)
