Beach Etiquette

Coming back from the beach today, someone said, "Hi" to Olivia, who ignored them.  To save the person's feelings, Phil explained apologetically, "She's bashful."

Olivia quickly and emphatically retorted, "I'm NOT bashful! I'm a little girl!"

The Best nap ever

Today I laid down with Olivia to cuddle at nap time.  She turned to me and inquired seriously, "Are you comfortable Mommy?"

Well, we did say Sorry!

Will & Olivia were chasing each other through the house and crashed into each other. Will hurt his nose & Olivia hurt her cheek. Later, Will said to Olivia, "O-ya, I'm sorry you hurt my nose."
Without skipping a beat, Olivia replied, "I'm sorry you hurt my face!"

Thanks to Wii

Will came up to me out of the blue:
"Mommy - I love you to the moon and back. You're my hero. My guitar hero!"

I will survive!

Since the fire, we have been lucky to have Phil home with us for two weeks. Prior to the fire he was super busy with Barbie v. Bratz (serious) and was never home. So despite losing our house and all our belongings, the fire has been somewhat of a blessing.

Me to Will & Olivia: "Hasn't it been fun having Daddy home with us? I don't know what I'll do when he goes back to work."
Will: "Oh whatever, Mommy. You'll survive it."

And he's right. I will.

Is there a Doctor in the house?

Will came to me yesterday, holding his ear.
"Mommy, my ear hurts. Can you please put a band-aid on my ear?"

Today he was diagnosed with a DOUBLE ear infection.

I wish it were that easy!

It's been a couple weeks since our fire and we've tried to prepare Will & Olivia that we will be living in a different house for a while while they re-build our "fire" house.

Will: "Mommy, let's just get a new house. Whatever."
