Never a dull moment

(Some cuteness to get the day going.  This was on our way to church last week.)

The humor continues in the Frederick house.  We'll start with Monday morning... better yet, Sunday night.  After thinking that our house was being broken into and realizing that a suitcase had fallen in our bedroom, Ryan and I set our home alarm.  We were about to go to bed, but my protector husband decided to check the back yard one more time.  We were both still a little on edge, even though we knew what had caused the mysterious bump in the night.  Without thinking, the "Protector" opened the back door which set off our home alarm.  Amazingly this didn't wake up the little one.  So we laughed at ourselves for a while and then finally settled down enough to go to bed around midnight.  

At 6 am, I hear this obnoxious noise.  "What was that?" I ask my Protector.  "The smoke alarm," he responds.  The battery decided that 6 am was a completely appropriate time to be changed.  Not a simple process.  We have 10(?) foot ceilings in our bedroom.  So at 6 am, Ryan and I had to get dressed, go out to the garage, get the gigantic ladder, and quietly carry it through the house, so as not to wake the little monster.  For those that don't know me well, I am not the most pleasant of people when I haven't had good sleep.  (That's exactly why I think God was laughing when he gave me a baby that didn't sleep through the night for 9 months.)  By the time, the battery was changed and I laid back down, the little morning bird woke up.  So, my sweet husband went and got her and put her in bed with me.  I at least got to lay down with my eyes closed as she chattered.  

In the midst of her chattering, she began to sing the alphabet song.  She will sing a few letters then skips some throughout the whole song.  Well, this morning she got to "t,u,v,w..."  and I heard, "t, u, double me".  I thought that was just too funny.  She obviously hears "double you" and probably thought, "Well I'm the one singing, so it must be 'double me'."  I just had to laugh.

Today's funny moment is kind of a continuous problem of late.  Apparently, there is a clothing protest of some sort going on with the 2 year old member of the house.  She hasn't yet told her boss why the protest is occurring, but I think it must have something to do with Halloween.  On Monday, the only clothing that was "allowed" on her body was an orange and black outfit that my mother-in-law bought for her last Halloween.  I finally asked Eva, after her lips were turning blue because she was cold if she wanted to wear her pumpkin shirt.  To this, she exclaimed, "Punkin shirt!"  And so the toddler fashion choices have begun.  Don't you love seeing toddlers our in public that are wearing a tutu and cowboy boots.  I love it.  We'll see if I still love it when my daughter is the one getting funny looks.  

The pumpkin outfit!  It's always a hit.

The clothing protest. She was carrying a sign that said "Just say no to clothes."  But I took it away just before the picture.  Apparently she has been waking up extra early to work on her signs for the picket line.
