Maguire's Dictionary (30 Day Challenge - Day 5)

I'm late on my Day 5 post due to the fact I'm driving cross country with two 7 year olds and a 10 year old Miniature Pinscher for driving companions.  Hopefully I can stop earlier tonight and get Day 6 in with no problem!  

Maguire, my oldest, can be quite creative with words.  It's almost to the point that he can make up a word, use it in a sentence, and leave you wondering if it's real.  I've had to look up many of his creations, but here are a couple of no brainers.

Mo'vehicle: a motor vehicle. I don't know where or how this one came about, but this was added to his vocabulary somehow and he's stuck with it.  I mean, car, would be a shorter word, but no, Mo'vehicle has more pizazz.  Now don't get me wrong, Maguire is an outstanding speller and has a pretty large vocabulary, but he can be lazy and the shortening of words is one way that he shows it. 

Bu-cept: but + except.  This one is quite the gem and can be used for various reasons.  Normally he uses it like this, "Bu-cept do I have to?".  He also likes to use it in conjunction with mo'vehicle.  "I put it in the mo'vehicle, bu-cept I can't find it."  

Last but not least, Maguire had inclusive as a vocabulary word this year.  He was trying to show off to Kennedy his prowess with his new words and this is what we he said, "Kennedy, you need to be more inclusitive with your friends."  Same meaning as inclusive just with an added -itive to make it lively.

Maguire looks at these words as his creative license.  He has a point, ginormous wasn't a recognized word until a few years ago.  Maybe one of these will catch on, inclusitive would be my best choice bu-cept you never know.

Mine (30 Day Challenge - Day 4)

Absolutely the worst word a toddler can know.  Sylvia just added that gem to her vocabulary about a week ago.  Everything is " mine".  Hopefully her next word ends up being a better one.

Boomer Sooner (30 Day Challenge - Day 3)

Sylvia (9 months) and me.  Look at that game face! Taken Oct. 13, 2012 before the Red River Rivalry.
In our house, when it comes to College Football, you better just yell Boomer and carry on!  Hubs and I are both fans, which makes our relationship less complicated since we don't have to be a house divided like some of our friends.  If you're not familiar, the Red River Rivalry (used to be called the Shootout) is between the Terrible Texas Longhorns and the OUstanding Oklahoma Sooners.  

*For all my Sooner Friends, I linked their schedule on their name.  Boomer and good night!   

**If in the event you love Sylvia's custom OU onesie, tutu, and bow check out Custom G's by Jessica.  She works with a lady by the name of Rebecca who is responsible for all of this Boomer greatness.  She can customize for any team, plus it's affordable.  You can't tell in the above picture, but below you can even see all the bling we had added just to add a little flair to the outfit.  

Here's a better shot of her bling around the OU logo.  She's 7 months here.
