Tickle me Tuesday

IT IS BEAUTIFUL IN TENNESSEE!! After weeks of rain and feeling like we live in Seattle, the Sun has been shining in full force here this week. Can I get a GORGEOUS?!?
Fall is definitely in the air and I couldn't be happier. Literally, it puts me in the best mood. LB and BG are loving it too. Even Lila walks outside and says, "It's bewful out here today." While having lunch outside on the deck "in the big chair" the wind was blowing rather hard. Lila looks at me and says, "Turn off the wind Mommy!" It was the sweetest thing.
I am kicking myself for not writing down all the funny things that have come out of her mouth lately. But here are a few off the top of my head.
Lila staring out the window: "It went back up Mommy. It went back up in the sky." (referring to the rain)
She looked at me today and told me to "ZIP IT!" Not really funny, but it kind of makes me snicker.
Everytime we get in the car she asks me what happened to my car. I finally started asking her to tell me what happened. While Michael was in the car with me, she says "That mailbox hit you Mommy" Yep Lila, that mailbox just jumped right out and got me!
When G is throwing one of his fits she will say, "Oh Graham, you're whining Graham."
When asking her a question she has started answering, "No thank ya" in the most southern voice you can think of.
Oh that girl....she tickles me.

Who else tickles me is my sweet little boy! His favorite thing right now is playing chase. He will crawl away from you and then turn around to see if you are following him. He isn't quite getting the idea of "chase" though. He takes off crawling, but then stops and waits for you to get him. He also loves bouncing on the trampoline and swinging. For him to have cut his top two teeth this past week, he has been in a great mood. (hope I didn't just jinx myself)
My heart has been pounding out of my chest this week. When I say pounding out of my chest that means not sleeping. If I wake up in the night I am doomed. Monday is was 3:18 am, never went back to sleep. Last night it was 5:30. Not bad, but considering the time of night I get in bed, I am running on fumes! Not to mention I am NOT a morning person. This week my sweet tiny (ok not so tiny) little baby is not a tiny( not so tiny) little baby anymore....AND I don't have another one on the way. Feels kind of weird. Anyway, they really really really really really 1000 times really grow too fast! I have been reading through old posts tonight about when Lila turned one and this time last year right before I had Graham. I can't even bear to look as it makes me sad. But it also makes proud. I have 34 hours and 22 minutes before my baby boy has officially been in this world for one year. Right now I will keep him at "almost 1" as Lila says. On a side note: After picking LB from school today she was in the car talking to Graham (which watching them chat together is the sweetest thing ever) and she looked at him and told him that she colored the number 1 for him at school today. I thought I was going to cry.
Back on Track:
I have been crazy this week getting ready for his big birthday bash! I really am so excited and I just hope all the kids have a great time! I have lots to post and update, and this post has been totally random, but for now I just wanted to jot a few things on my mind down.
sigh!
