Go Georgia Bulldawgs! Goodbye Skull!

So this Saturday, we had a Dawg/Bama party for the Georgia-Alabama game. Spencer's whole family came over along with Jonathan and Angie. We had a blast (even though UGA lost). Angelina loved seeing the family, and especially loved giving Aunt Genevieve her special present!

Background: Angelina and I had gone to the Dollar Tree to get some Halloween decorations, because, as she plainly told me "we don't have decorations like Nana does". At the Dollar Tree we found a couple squeeze ball thingys. You know, the things you squeeze for stress that expand or bubble up. Well, we happened to find one that was a skull and when you squeezed his head blood, worms and maggots squished out of his eyeballs. Yes, you heard me correctly. Well my little morbid daughter got the BIGGEST kick out of this thing...and of course, I got the biggest kick out of that. I mean, seriously, she played with the thing for HOURS. When daddy got home, she of course showed him her new favorite toy and he was NOT pleased. We were forced to give it up. So who better to give it to than Spencer's sister with a penchant for the horrific and scary, Genevieve! Goodbye bloody, wormy, maggoty skull. Enjoy your new home! We'll miss you!

Angelina...drama queen

So this weekend me and the kids went to Nana's house for dinner on Friday night. Angelina was then just going to spend the night after we ate and looked at all the spooky scarecrows (Hoschton just beat the old Guinness Book of Records for most scarecrows in a city--5,441). After we returned to Nana's house, I'm in the back getting Angelina ready for bed. She then looks at me, looks at Nana & Aunt Camille and says "Mommy, can you go home now." Notice, there was no question mark at the end of her sentence. She wasn't asking me to leave...she was telling me! We had a talk about how rude/disrespectful/hurtful that was. I realized soon after, while I was feeding Xander in the living room, that she wanted me to leave so that she could "work" Nana! I can hear from the room, "Nana, can we play a game? Nana, can I get some more to eat? Nana, can I.... can I...."! That little stinker!!! Needless to say, with mommy nearby, Nana did not cave...until the morning! :)

Weekend with ViVi

So Angelina had her first official "Girl's Night" this weekend with Aunt Genevieve ("ViVi"). Here are some of the funny stories that surfaced!

"Ok, here are my stories from this weekend; although VERY not PC, they are still rather hilarious.

-- Angelina and I were sitting in TCBY, eating our ice cream, when a black couple walked in. Angelina is studying them very closely and then asks me, "Genevieve...you see those two people that just walked in? How do you say "brown" in Spanish?????" Hahaha! Niiiiice.

-- Then, in the parking lot we saw a very old woman walking (she had to be at least 80 years old...) and Angelina yelled, "Wowwww!!!! That lady is SOOOOOOOO old!!!!! Am I going to look like that when I am old?"

-- In our last adventure of the day, to McDonalds' of course, we were sitting at a table near the counter where you order. A lesbian couple walked in, one Lipstick and one Chapstick (ahaha...have you heard that phrase before???? I love it...) So basically, one was really feminine and one was rather masculine (you could tell from obvious features that she was, in fact, a woman). Angelina eyed the masculine one up and down and said to me with a look of disgust, "Genevieve, I know that is a girl but she looks like a BOY! Why is she wearing a boy's hat? Why does she want to look like a boy????" Ahhh...gender roles...so confusing.

Oh, and Brianne there is one more story I forgot to tell you Sunday that you probably won't want to add to your blog, but it was worded so funny I have to tell you. So, Angelina was taking a bath and I can't remember exactly what I said...something about how I was sorry she didn't have any toys for the bath or something...she was cool about it and then all the sudden shouted, "Did you know that Dora scratched my Chi-Chi in the bathtub????" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! "--Aunt ViVi

DEATH TO THE FROG!!!

Ok, so you know your day is going to be great when you start if off by listening to a little Leap Frog toy sing the alphabet song FOR 45 MINUTES!!! Yes, you heard that right...45 minutes. This morning, thinking I was being a sweet mother, I placed a leap frog toy in Xander's carseat. I wanted him to be entertained on the ride to school. Well, I got my wish--he was definitely entertained. The toy got wedged between his little legs and he began to repeatedly kick the tar out the toy, each time triggering the alphabet song. Did I mention this went on for 45 MINUTES! "A, B, C, D, E, F, G....SHUT UP!"

Good times.....

No longer "Nee Nee"

Last week I said to Angelina, "Nee-Nee, can you please go put your shoes on?". She replied, "Mommy, do not call me Nee-Nee anymore (huff). My name is Angelina Noelle Whitworth". Well excuse me. When did my baby grow up???? (sigh).

Comparing the kiddos

Ok, so I know you're not supposed to compare your kids, BUT everyone swears they look identical to each other and Spencer and I disagree. So here's the proof that there are in fact differences between the kiddos.

Angelina's legs

So Angelina says to Nana on the phone last week, "Nana, I have hair on my legs now! Can you believe it? Hair growing on my legs!" What am I in for????
