The Great Potty Tour

By -
We (Adam, Amelia, Adelaide & I) went shopping last night. Mind you, Adelaide "went" before we left the house. We were gone for (maybe) about 2-1/2 hours. We went to the mall & had to go straight to the mall bathroom. Where, Amelia "went" & Adelaide was dry. Next, we went to Kohls. While we were there, we had to make another dry trip to the bathroom. Then, we had a cookie from Mrs.Fields & made ANOTHER dry trip to the mall bathroom. We went to walmart & Adelaide says she has to go. Nothing. We do our shopping & again, she seems like it's urgent that she needs to go. Amelia goes. Adelaide does not. We get to Meijer & pick up most of our items & I ask her if she still needs to go. She says, "No. I mean, Yes." So, finally she goes. Crazy! When we got home, it was bedtime. One of us told her to go try going again. She couldn't. Duh, that's fine. But, she got out of bed probably 3 or 4 times saying she needed to go. Aaaahhh! Smart little girl - manipulative much??

Sounds like you spent a lot of time in the bathroom. 80) Is it getting any better?

It sounds a lot like a urinary tract infection that makes you feel like you have to go constantly yet can't produce anything. Have her checked before you attribute it to manipulation. Love your blog site. Aunt Detta

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W

SEW Happy...Some of My "Projects"

It's October, and I DO like Halloween. I think it's fun to dress up & pretend. Sometimes it's a little grotesque & scary or pretty or even silly. This year, I felt like I should embrace my "roundness". I kept thinking of ways I could emphasize my prego belly, and this is what I came up with (for about$7 too). I bought a black T-shirt (used a coupon) at Michaels. I got 1/2 yd of orange fabric for my pumpkin (which could have made 2), then 1/4yd of black, green & orange w/ polka-dots. I knew I already had some Under Wonder (Heat & Bond) stuff at home that I could use. I had an idea of how I wanted it to look, so I actually put the T-shirt on wrong-side-out & marked where I wanted the pumpkin, so I could decide how big to make it. I sewed with black thread to make lines on the pumpkin, just to embellish it a little more. I cut eyes, nose & mouth out of black & ironed it on with under wonder. Then, sewed around the outside edges. I attache

Video Friday

By -
OK, today is video Friday. I was looking through some video clips with the kids this morning & decided to share a couple of cute ones. This is one of my faves. - This is just typical for Adam when Amelia was born. He loved his little sis SO much. What happened? It's just funny to hear Amelia "whine" as her brother loves on her.
