This Is What Happens...

When you teach a kindergartener in your CCD class to say AND write "Poop Poop" and "Pee Pee". You get to write it 20 times yourself!! I don't think Jake'll be doing that again anytime too soon!

MMMM, Mr Creepy LOVES Grapes!

We have grapes in the house again...Creepy is serving his purpose well...

It Lasted 15 Minutes....

So, Saturday afternoon, Liv crawled out of the pack n play @ my mother's. I knew we were in for it. Sunday night, I put Liv in her crib for T/O (she hit the dog, just in case anyone's wondering LOL) and all the sudden, down the hall she came. So, Hank decided to get the toddler bed out. He was afraid she'd fall on her important parts and injure herself. So, we got the bed out, made a big deal (internally I'm totally freaking out-I'm so not ready for this!) When it came time for bed, I laid her down, turned off the lights-Crying...Not bad, so I walked away. I continue to hear alittle here and alittle there for about 15 min, then I decided to check on her. She was in total silent freakout mode. Poor kid! She was crying so hard (not loud either!) I thought she was going to barf all over herself she was so worked up. Took me 15 min to comfort her =( She decided the crib was a GREAT place to sleep. I put her back in and life's good again-FOR NOW...Let's see how long it lasts *sigh*

Freezing Fog and a Sad Goodbye =(

Well, since it was 62 on Friday, it was only fitting that Saturday and Sunday's highs only be in the 20s/30s with freezing fog, now wouldn't it? However, it can make for some cool shots. This one in black I took last night at my mother's house. The others were taken this am @ my house...

And now for the sad goodbye *sigh* My really good friend Jennifer pulled up stakes this am, headed for, of all places, Idaho. She's a wonderful friend, and her presence in my daily life will be greatly missed. I am just thankful that where she's going is only about 30 minutes from my Grandma, so I will be able to still see her from time to time!! Jen, I love you girl and will miss you terribly!

The Garage Saga

THIS IS MY GARAGE

THIS IS MY GARAGE ON DRUGS

THIS IS MY GARAGE AFTER A 1 DAY STINT IN REHAB WITH DR. MEL

ANY QUESTIONS????

(I wonder if it'll stay clean?!?!?!)

2 Days In ONE! Thursday/Friday

And they both involve Liv...First pic is from yesterday-This is routinely how she dresses up. Her dollar store hat, kitty ears from her Halloween costume, and Jake's Hawaiian lei LOL

The 2nd pic is from today. She loves to stack and line things up. Today it was all the cups from where I put all the kiddy cups. She also put some forks and baby spoons in there for good measure.

I haven't been very creative the last couple of days. My really good friend is moving on Sunday *Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh* so I've been trying to spend as much time with her as possible!

This is how my day started out...I hear Liv saying "Give a kiss? Give a kiss?" I turn around and she's trying to force a kiss on the poor dog. Can you see the look in Jo Jo's face? She's just humoring her. What you don't see is that right after I took the pic, the dog licked her tongue-Say it with me now, people-EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Jake's had this stuffed cat (in the jacket lol) since he was 15mths old. I distinctly remember buying it. I was in a drug store buying IVF meds for our first IVF cycle after Jake, and he saw this cat-HAD.TO.HAVE.IT. There was no way around it. He STILL loves this cat. Lately he's been feeling the need to "care" for the cat. I think it stems from the fact that Santa refuses to bring him a real kitten for Christmas (I told Jake animals aren't allowed in Santa's sack-they'll fight :P ) Apparently he felt the need to get his heavy winter jacket off the hook and wrap "meow meow" in it for the night. It was in one of his shirts. Must've been too small ;-)
