All I Want For Chrithmas . . .



Well - Annie lost her two front teeth yesterday! Not at the same time - Dad pulled one out on Thursday night, and although the other one really needed to come out too, Annie wasn't havin' any of that. So for a little while, at least, she looked like Mader from Cars, which was cute and a little disturbing all at the same time.
She finally let Dad pull out the second tooth yesterday, but only after he promised to buy her a disco ball and take her to the driving range today (whatever happened to wanting a Barbie?)

Double Trouble!!!

Yesterday I was having one of those days with Halle where I was feeling overwhelmed and just constantly picking up after her and cleaning up messes. Then I came across these pictures of Annie and Kate and realized that I really shouldn't be complaining - one is easy compared to two!

WARNING . . . . Eric has a Man Cold!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea how these people got into our house and recorded this scene, but this is almost exactley what happens when Eric gets the dreaded " MAN COLD" that he has right now. Poor, poor bunny!

(Before you play the following video, you need to Pause or Stop the music player at the bottom of our blog)

the man cold!

Mmmmmmm, oatmeal - pewp!!!




Halle is very into feeding herself these days, which can get quite messy! This morning was the first time she tried Cream of Wheat (I don't know why we didn't eat it before, just hadn't thought of it.) Lately, every time she counts to "10" she always says "Hurraaayyy" at the end. Well last week, we have no clue why, she started saying "Poop" (sounds more like "pewp" when she says it) right after she finished counting to 10 and shouting Hurray. It doesn't matter how many times she says it - we all laugh so hard every time, which she thoroughly enjoys!

Well, this morning as she was eating her Cream of Wheat, which I told her was oatmeal (because it's easier than trying to say Cream of Wheat) she looked up at me with Cream of Wheat all over her face and said "Mmmmmmmmmm, oatmeal . . . . PEWP!"

So if any of you ever here her ask for "oatmeal poop," now you know what it means.

p.s. We FINALLY finished painting our kitchen/family room - Hallelujah!!!!! Now I have a life again and would love to catch up with all of you. And no, I will NEVER attempt to paint a room that large and difficult again, especially with a 2 year old running around!

Say What You Need To Say

Well, I think I have a lot to say, and this new blogging thing is a blessing sent straight from heaven for a girl that hasn't scrapbooked or journaled ANYTHING in over five years! Hopefully now that I have the basic page set up, I will get in a better habit of writing on it every day or so.

This week has been a little crazy with Halle being sick, my nephews Jake and Josh both up at Primary's with asthma and RSV, and in the mean time trying to finish painting our family room and kitchen. Once again, I bit off WAY more than I could chew and am just trying to get a little bit done here and there (basically whenever Halle is sleeping!)



As a devoted Mitt fan, I've actually been quite depressed due to the Super Tuesday news and have probably gained five pounds watching all of the news networks and finding solace in comfort food (watching the Food Network during commercial breaks didn't help either!) The only other thing besides watching Food Network that brings me comfort is just looking at this picture:



I feel better already! (If you know me at all, you knew I had to throw a picture of Bono on my blog at some point, so I'm just getting it out of the way. For the full effect, listen to "Beautiful Day" while staring at the picture.)

So I am determined to get back on the horse tomorrow with this whole diet/workout thing I'm trying for the billionth (is that a word?) time if I can finally get some sleep tonight, which means I need to turn off this computer. Wish me luck!
