Blog worthy

I have a very very funny story to post. And i want to post it for two reasons. One to remember it and two so that all of you will know about it.

First off I like candles. I love to find those candles with the perfect aroma that just takes you to a special place. I love it when i can find that perfect candle. But since we have an Audrey. and she likes to pull an Audrey (Friends reference- also love those). I have not had candles burning in a while. But i still have matches. Lots of matches. One day Audrey got a hold of the match box. May i remind you a very very full match box. So we had about 100 matches across the living room floor. It was not much fun cleaning the matches up and still i find them randomly on the floor.

Yesterday Audrey found a match. (I had no idea she did by the way) and decided that sticking it up her nose was a very good idea. I was in the bathroom and patrick was in the kitchen and we both hear this funny funny snort come from Audrey (it almost sounded like a laugh, you know when some ones snorts before they begin to laugh) but immediately after the snort she starts to cry. The two of us run over to her to find a match hanging from her finger. Yes, hanging from her finger by snot. Very icky slimy snot. Now this calls into question how far she actually stuck the match into her nose? it could not have just been inside the opening i don't think she would have hurt herself by doing that. She must have stuck that thing so far up that it could have tickled her little brain. poor little thing. I've never had to have a doctor stick something up my nose to get a sample but patrick has and i know for a fact that it was not a pleasant experience for him. And that had a ball of cotton on the end if it. Imagine a long stick of wood. Very pointy and splintery.

Anyway that's it i just wanted you to know about this funny story.

Love,
Elizabeth, Patrick and Audrey

A few things

#1. I changed the blog again. I think i'm going to stick with this for a while i sort of like it.

#2. Audrey is starting to form sentances. And we are able to understand her much better. Communication is nice. I don't miss the days when she couldn't talk....well, just a little. she jibber jabbers all the time. None Stop! One instance is that the other day we were sitting watching sleeping beauty for the trillionth time and we decided that we wanted to watch the movie in movie feature that lets you watch the movie while the guys talk about how it was made and have interviews with the artists and what not. So we turned it on. About 2 minutes into this new feature Audrey...as lazy as she is..while laying down on patrick lifted her little hands up and started waving frantically and saying no no no no no. She could have gotten off of her little rear end and done something about it. But nope she decided that communicating from a horizontal position was just fine. Patrick turned the feature off and the no's stopped.

Then the other day patrick and i left audrey at moms while we ran an errand. She wanted to keep talking to us while we wanted to leave. We got in the car and started to drive off and she started yelling wait wait while waving her hands. When we stopped she started jabbering in her own language about who knows what. When we thought she was done we start to leave again and she again started to yell wait wait while waving her hands and continued to tell us her story. I think this pattern happend 5 or 6 times. It was funny. We were all just laughing and laughing. It was so cute.

#3 she is able to do things her self. about a week ago she decided that she was thirsty. She went to the fridge, opened it up and grabbed the container holding juice. Found a her size cup (a tiny medicine cup). Brought the two over to patick and I and asked that we pour her a cup of juice. We obliged and she drank several medicine cup fulls of juice.

#4 the fridge is her new favorite place. it is constantly open. She can never shut it. We both hate it. Any one have any ideas on how to keep the fridge door shut?

#5 Pinocchio came out on dvd. Patrick took audrey to Best Buy to purchase the movie and right in the front of the store was a very large display for the movie. Audrey screamed and ran up to the display grabbed the movie and proceded to check out. I think Patrick has taken her to best buy one too may times.

#6 I'm officially a size 8. One more size to go. Wohoo for curves and their diet. Sad that it has taken this long to get here. Never again. Never!

I think that's about it
