Just Laugh............

Is all you can do when your 4 yr old puts gum in her hair and walks around for an hour saying her ears feel funny so she has to keep them covered with her hands, meanwhile we are giving her more gum and drinks trying to help them pop. Tyler even plugged her nose and had her blow. Don't you worry, she was strong and did not uncover her ears for anything. Finally, though she slipped, and I saw red gum on both sides of her head right above her ears. All I could do was laugh. It wasn't so funny though when at 10:30 p.m. I am still spreading peanut butter through her hair trying to get it out. Finally, at 11:30 p.m. she was bathed, hair dried, and fast asleep. I wish I had gotten a picture of her face when I said "Well, I guess we will just have to cut it out." It seriously was a very terrified look. So funny. I think she learned her lesson, she is still apologizing this morning. No she did not get in trouble, just a sore bum from having to sit for so long while I tried to get the gum out.

Tylers Cute Grandma

Tylers Grandma Olson is so cute, as is all of our grandmas, but I don't think you would see any of our other grandmas on the back of a motorcycle. We took the kids down last Thursday to show off their Halloween costumes and Tylers cousin Tommy came by on his motorcycle. All of the sudden we heard his grandma say, "Tommy take me for a ride". We all kind of looked in shock, Tommy was in more shock, and as she started getting on the motorcycle we had to hurry and take pictures. It was so cute and we were all laughing so hard. Averys favorite part of the whole thing was grandmas messy hair after her ride.

I Knew This Day Would Come!!!!

I bet most of you were expecting to see the word PRIVATE in this post. That will be soon!!!!
Anyways, just a funny little story about Avery. I thought I would not have this happen for atleat another 5-10 yrs. I was told that I was ANNOYING, while she rolled her eyes at me. WHAT???? Are you kidding? She is only 4 years old and to roll her eyes at me. It all happened over 2 songs on the radio, which just happened to be on the same station on the same day. We love to dance in the car. The girls and I have so much fun turning the radio up loud and dancing. Not too loud. Well,the first song that came on was ICE ICE BABY, by Vanilla Ice. I know you all remember it. I love it. It took me back to the 5th grade, so ofcourse I was excited and Adi and I were dancing away, all the while, Avery is begging for me to turn the station. Are you kidding, No way, I loved that song, I even had the tape, thats right, THE TAPE. The next song to come on was not the most appropriate, but once again I love it. "I LIKE BIG BUTTS!" I know you all remember that song, don't hide it. Once again Adi and I are dancing and having fun, and my sweet little 4 year old, has her arms folded, begging for a new song. When I said, "As soon as this song is over", then I heard her say, "MOM YOU ARE BEING SO ANNOYING, JUST LIKE THIS SONG." I could not believe that I am already annoying. It did not bother me enough to turn the station for those 2 songs though.

Just one more funny story. Every Fall/Winter, they drop about 30 sheep off in the field next to our house. The girls love to watch them, well more scare them when they are close to the fence. It does not take much to scare them. Anyways, they were dropped off yesterday, and they were bunched up into one large group. All of the sudden I hear Avery yell, "Holy Cow that is a Big pile of Sheep." It was so funny. Now when she is asked what is next to her house she says, "A Big Pile Of Sheep."
Oh Avery, you make me laugh everyday. You are my SUNSHINE.

So Annoying

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year. I love the colors, the smells, the nice crisp days, which are wonderful for walks, might I add. I also Love Thanksgiving, the thought of Christmas just weeks away, stresses me out, but I still love the feeling of this time of year. I was headed to the mall today, to start some Christmas shopping,and as I was flipping through the radio stations,I heard, "It's beginning to look alot like Christmas." What, no it's not!!! If anyone ever listens to 106.5, don't be surprised to hear Christmas music on 24/7. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas music, but give it a few more weeks. I was so annoyed. Thanksgiving seems to be put on the back burner these days. Well, I may have started Christmas shopping, but Thanksgiving will be talked about and celebrated all month long in the Olson home. 8 weeks of Christmas music??? It will get worn out, am I wrong?
Sorry for the litte rant. It will be my little secret if I choose to turn to 106.5 a few times through out this month, because I really do love Christmas music.

Fun with Cousins!

Wride Halloween Party

Every Halloween, Tylers grandparents have a Halloween party at their house. It is so much fun. Everyone dresses up, they have games, and yummy soup. Avery has been talking about this party for weeks. Ofcourse, of all days, Avery woke up pretty sick, so did Adi. They were throwing up. It was a terrible day. Avery was crying when she saw that the party had started. They were both feeling better, and since it was outside, I dressed them up and took them down for a little while. They did great. It was a fun night. They are such a fun family.
PLEASE, i am begging all of you to ignore what I look like in the family picture. I had been up since 1:30 a.m. with Avery.

"DUST"

Yes I clean my house, and yes I dust my house on a regular basis, but it still seems dusty all the time. Anyways, I was sitting on the couch the other morning with Avery, and the sun was shining through the blinds, and she could see the little dust particles (is that what I call them?) floating through the air, and she said, in a very excited voice, "Look mom, there are SUN SPITICLES in the air." It was just so sweet, because that is a word that she thought of on her own. If I ask her to tell anyone what she saw, she gets so shy. Her little mind is always working. I love her so much.
