Nothing interesting...

In lieu of anything interesting to talk about, I figured I would talk about nothing. Really I just want to keep my blog at the top of the list (you know, on sites like Katies where she actually has a nice list with most recent posts on top...as opposed to me who can't even remember to add people to my blog roll!) After reading Cat's last post, I am inspired to talk about our girls nicknames. And no, they aren't that interesting (hence the title of the post)...
When we had Laynie, I knew we wanted to call her Laynie, but I didn't want that to be her given name, so we named her Layne. Somehow, shortly after she was born we started calling her bugger-butt. I know, not a great name. But we still call her that at times...I also call her LuLu, because she loopy.
Riley for whatever reason became Ri-Ri, although it's not like it's shorter or easier to say or anything like that. I remember at first I was the only one calling her that, now everyone does. Even her teacher. I also like to call her Riley Roo-Roo. She gets all mad and tells me "I not Riley Roo-Roo, I Riley good-kid". I find that hysterical, because usually when she is yelling that at me she isn't being a good kid.
When we had Peyton, I swore we would not call her Pey-Pey. Mainly because all I think of when I hear that is Pepe le peu the skunk. But guess what we call her...yeah, Pey-Pey. It's a terrible name, but I can't help it...it's cute when it's for her.
So yeah, that's about it for the excitement of this post. I hope you are glad you wasted some of your life on it! We are going to Disney this weekend, and are meeting Owen (and his family too of course, they don't let him travel alone) next Wednesday. So hopefully there will be some good pics to share! Monday is also our 8th wedding anniversary, and while I did plan on scanning some pics to share, my scanner is broken. So unless that gets fixed soon there won't be any. It is supposed to get cold Sunday, right when we go to Disney-I'm so excited! I love to be cold there...it sucks walking around with sweat dripping off of you.

Again, my sympathies for those of you who read this...

Aw, cute nicknames for the girls! It is funny, I swore I would never call Seamus "Bubby," but for the first year of his life, that's what we called him. The nicknames we disliked are just too cute when they belong to our adorable kids!

I tend to shorten everything. So Preston became Pres or Pres Pres or Baby Monkey from my mom so I call him Monk-and not like the TV show-never saw it.
The girls are so cute and I think the names just work. Have a great time in Disney!

I think they're cute nicknames! ;)
We call Samantha Sam Sam all the time! We don't really have a nickname for Anaïs though.

Cute nicknames! That is so funny that Riley says "not Riley Roo-Roo, I Riley good-kid"!
Have a great time at Disney, and have fun meeting Owen!
