Since Luke told me "I forgot to make meatloaf" at dinner yesterday...I guess I'll remember to make meatloaf tonight. ;)

Taylor: Mommy, I have a baby boy in my belly.
Me: You do?
Taylor: Well, actually it's a baby girl.
Me: Oh really? What's her name?
Taylor: Ummm, Let me see....Maiah. :)

BIG BEDS!

After SEVERAL times of Taylor being busted trying to sneak to Luke's bed. She started whispering for him to come cuddle with her. So he grabbed his lambie and got caught getting in her bed. Luke: I was just gonna cuddle with Tay-yer. Taylor: But Mommy, I want Luke to nap in bed with me. ‎{Taylor had a different tone this morning at 6am when he was pulling her off her bed, telling her it was time to wake up. then she was screaming.} {then she tried again} Luke: Sissy, get back in your bed, you're gonna get in trouble.

Nights are great. It's nap time that Miss Taylor is a little stinker pot.

{Kids have the throwing up flu stuff so I slept in their room on the floor in between them. I woke up to Taylor singing "How Beautiful", the song Aunt Elena sang at our wedding, then...}

Taylor: Mommy, it's time to get up!
Me: I'm sleepy. {I was up all night again with throwing up/diarrhea duty and laundry}
Taylor: Mommy, Daddy's gonna spank your heiney if you don't get up.
Me: No he isn't.
Taylor: Yes he is, he did last time. {by the way, HE DID NOT} lol
Me: No he didn't.
Taylor: MOMMY, I NEED YOU TO GET UP!

{Then I go downstairs to get some supplies and I come back...}
Taylor: Mommy, Luke lied to me.
Luke: I did not lie to you Taylor.
Taylor: Yes he did, Mommy, he lied.
Luke: I didn't.
Taylor: It's not nice to lie Luke, say you're sorry.
Luke: I didn't lie!
