Haunted Room

Dan and I had decided way back when that when Jo turned 5, we would re-decorate her room to whatever she wanted. At one point she wanted hearts and bells. Now she wants a haunted room with vampires. I talked her out of the "haunted room" and we are now going to do Scooby Doo... and vampires. And when looking at bed frames, she picks the girliest metal curly cue bed frames. Odd girl.

Your Highness

Not sure if she is being funny, crazy or a smart-aleck but Jo has started calling me "Your Highness" and asking what she can do for me.... Maybe I will use this to my advantage!

Jozie loooovvveeesss Make up. She loves when I put make up on her. I typically do not put it on her as just eyeshadow and lipstick. We live in a make up fantasy world. Sometimes it's swirls on the face, sometime's it's cat whiskers. On the day this picture was taken, we just wanted to play with pretty colors.

BF in the CF

We have a local performance artist, Brian Feldman. One of his pieces this year was called The Staring Contest. For 30 hours at the Museum of Art, Brian would sit in a chair and just stair. He had a chair across from him that you were encouraged to sit in and just sit and stare back. Dan took Jozie for a little bit to this event and here is the proof.

Overheard...

"Dad, if we recycle everything, can we recycle your car for a cool one?"


"Mommy you're a robot". Pushes me with a finger. "Dance Mama, I pushed your groove button".

Shut Down

Soooo... one of my beagles Oz tends to be a little loud when he is going out the back door. No matter what the time. I try and shush him and occasionally say the dreaded "shut up". Of course, Jo has picked up on this... just not quite right. She was letting Oz out of his crate and as he was whining, Jo kept saying "Shut Down Oz, Shut Down!" It took me a moment to get what she was trying to tell him.

Oh Grandpa, thank you so much for teaching Jozie to stick her tongue out the side of her mouth, close her eyes, and exclaim "look mom! I'm dead!". Especially as we were sitting to see a preview of the Orlando Ballet in a room full of elderly people. "I'm dead" is probably not something they want to hear.

Tattoo Time

Jozie really likes my new tattoo. She says she likes the "dancer" and her "name". So score one for mom, or so I thought. That was until she said, "Mommy, why did you get a tattoo that won't come off?". I told her how much it means to me and so I wanted it on my body forever. Her response? "Well Momma, I like my tattoos because I can put them on and then when I don't like it anymore, I can wash it off and I can put on another one!" I told her that those are the best kind.

Jozie went with her Grandparents on a luncheon playdate with a girl she was meeting for the first time. When I asked her if she had fun she said "Yes, she was nice! She was pretty, but not as pretty as I thought she would be." WHAT??? So we discussed it and it seems that this little girl was blonde, but Jozie thought she would look prettier with "our color hair". What do you say to that? I mean she thought she was pretty, just not apparently reaching her full beauty potential. Who says this at 4?

As Dan picked Jo up from school yesterday, they were laying down some cement near her school for parking lot for the teachers (currently the teachers seem to park pretty far out and walk in). Dan mentioned this to Jozie and she asked why they need a parking lot and Dan said to park their cars. Jozie said that the teachers don't need cars, they walk to school. Dan said "So you think all the teachers just live around here and walk? What about Mary and Cari? They're our friends and have cars and they're teachers". Jozie said "Nope. Real Teachers Do Not Drive Cars!". Sorry teachers.... you aren't real if you drive!

Loverly Love

When I tell Jozie I love her she says she loves me more and then I say, no I love you more and so on and so forth. Lately she is telling me that her love is longer than mine! I don't mind that her love is longer than mine (although I disagree with it), but it makes me all warm and fuzzy when she says it :-)

Camping Out

Jozie got it in her head that she wanted to camp. I have no clue why... we've never suggested it... ever... So Dan bought her a cute little Ni-Hao Kai-Lan tent at Target and we "camped" out in the living room. Until it was time to go to sleep... she wanted to sleep in bed. So now we just have this tent in our living room. It ended up serving it's purpose because the other night Jozie got tired, went in her tent (I thought to play) and she fell asleep.

Here is the proof:





Farts Galore

Last night Jozie was bothering Dan about getting her something to eat (anybody who has spent time in my house notices that my daughter eats every 15 minutes all day long... seriously). Well as Dan got up off the couch, Jozie literally right behind him, he farted. I started laughing. Jozie asked why I was laughing, I told her because Dad farted on her. She was mad that I made a mistake in what I said. She corrected me in a rather stern voice, "He did not fart ON me, he just farted in my face". Needless to say, I stood corrected and died laughing.

Gross Bird

Jozie came up and asked me what a Gross Bird was. I wasn't sure if it was some kind of joke or something... I just answered by saying "umm... a bird that's gross?" She said, "no daddy says I fall down because I'm having a gross bird". Dan started laughing. "I said Growth Spurt, not Gross Bird". After laughing, I explained what a growth spurt was. I didn't have the heart to tell her that she's also just clumsy like me and her dad.

Dan explained to Jozie about the New Years and the ball dropping in New York. She is now set on going to New York and watching the ball drop. I told her that we are just going to watch it here in the house because New York is alittle far for us to be driving tonight, and she is not happy about it. She really wants a New Years party. So it is 8:45pm and we are leaving to go to Kmart to get "party supplies" for our New Years party at our house... with just Jozie and I. Look for pictures to come.

Update: We had a blast on New Years. K-mart sucks for supplies. But we bought clappers and construction paper and with the help of nickjr.com made hats and pipe cleaner fireworks. See the fun below! Also, after we said Happy News Years, I started cleaning up and Jozie said "what's next for the party?" I had to disappoint her and tell her that was it.... she was not impressed. Maybe she will just sleep through next year.





3 going on 16

Jo and I were driving to the mall today and there were two men on motorcycles next to us at the stop light. I noticed that Jozie had stopped talking and when I looked back she was waving and giggling at these two guys! They weren't even looking at her. I asked her "are you waving to those two guys?" and she answered "Yes, I like their motorcycles and helmets. They have skulls on them!" Awww great.... Finally they turned around and noticed her and smiled and waved. She then was all caught up in seeing where they went after the light turned green. They had left us in the dust of course. When did she start liking boys? I need to make sure the girls club is still alive and well!

Last night there was a trailer for the Chimpunks movie (the Squeakwal) and the little chipettes were singing "Single Ladies". Jo decided to make up her own version:


If you like it then you shoulda put a "insert anything she sees here" on it.

So we had...

If you like it then you shoulda put a marshmellow on it
If you like it then you shoulda put a cup on it
If you like it then you shoulda put soup on it

oh oh oh oh oh oh.... there was also a bowl, a couch, a bed, a crown, etc.

Jozie was playing "cook" with my grandma, mom and I. We all had to take turns "making" food for each other. Jozie finally told my mom that she would have to be the waiter. My mom didn't seem excited about serving everybody else until Jozie said "Grandma you be the waiter. You sit down and wait over there and I will get you food." Yep, the waiter just waits to be served :-)

I bought a pattern to make dresses for Jo and I finally finished one of the two dresses. I put it on her and... it's too big!!! uggggghhhhh!!!! I guess I will just take it in a bit on the sides, but what a pain after working on it (albeit on and off) for like 2 weeks now! My daughter is too skinny.

Jozie wished on a dandelion that she would get a baby sister. She needs to start wishing for money... that would help with getting a baby sister!
