Happy Birthday Mo!

She came into the world in a crazy, frenzied way and hasn't slowed down since. She is my baby girl and she will tell you so. There is a reason God saved her for last! She is keeping me moving and God knew I would need that too!

I LOVE YOU ADRIENNE MONIQUE WOODS! MO!

Valentine's Day 2011 - Where's the Love?

I'm only joking, we have a lot of love in our house. Let me explain our Valentine's Day.

For Christmas Vanessa and Harley received scooters. We have not had a nice enough day to ride them. Mo's birthday (who I will celebrate in a follow-up post) is the 15th and she received a scooter. Monday was fairly nice out so I thought I would let the girls try out their new scooters for a little bit before we went inside for homework and the normal routine. Well it only took a FEW mintues for Vanessa to fall off the scooter and break her arm.

We initially went to a Children's Close to Home. Unfortunately, Vanessa's break was angular and had to be set by an orthopedic doctor. That sent us downtown where 5 million people were sneezing, coughing, puking, etc. in the ER waiting room of the main hospital. Vanessa was warned not to touch anything or anyone and hand sanitizer was applied every 5 minutes.

The doctor set Vanessa's arm by using an X-ray to make sure it was aligned properly. Kinda cool... She was a real trooper. She didn't cry or move. I think the codiene helped, but still she was awesome.

She asked for a purple cast, but apparently the doctors were color-blind and purple turned out to be blue. Thankfully she was okay with that.

So I spent 6 hours in an Urgent Care or Hospital on Valentine's Day. Fun times, fun times. LOL

Let the itching commense!!

Go ahead and say it, I forgot to put more pictures up. Sorry! I'm sure you are devastated.

I do have some recent funnies though. Enjoy!

Vanessa
(In a Meijer store looking for shoes) "I want strap-ons"

Harley
(in the car) Vanessa said to Harley 'your breath stinks.' Harleys said 'Not as bad as yo mama's!'

(considering what to be when she grows up) 'I want to be so many things. A rock star. An actress. A doctor, a scientist, a chef. Doctors HELP people and I really want to help people. Nah, I'll just be an actress.'

(about me wearing my glasses) 'it's not that you look BAD mama, don't get me wrong. It's just that you look like Velma."

Mo
Runs up, puts her hands on my cheeks and says: 'Marry Me!' I said, 'I'm your mommy, we can't marry. You have to marry a boy.' She says(with a wrinkled nose), 'A boy??!!'

This past Sunday morning Mo stayed home with Tony. During church Tony called my cell phone several times (which was on vibrate of course, I'm not a heathen!). I went out to call him and see what was wrong. Mo answered the phone. She talked to me for a minute and then I said 'bye.' I called the house phone to talk to Tony. He yelled in to Mo and asked her what she was doing. She yells back (with an attitude...) 'Callin' Mama!!!'
