Wordless Wednesday

Is it bad...

that I was really excited this morning, to be able to look out my windows? The past few days, you can't see out in the mornings. The dew point has been SO high here, that they are all fogged up on the outside. Not a good sign.

This morning however, the dew point is a mere 68. I'll take it!

Could be worse. Those of you out there in other areas of the state are having really hot, 100+ weather. So I'll take my 90's and deal. LOL

We've been busy. We girls' started up swimming lessons this week. We also have company arriving this weekend. I need to work on finding the guest room again. It seems we get it all cleaned out for guests, and then they guests leave, and it goes back to being a catch-all room again. UGH.

Hope everyone is staying cool! I'm off to go work on my WW pic.

This weeks' theme is "Tiny".

In honor of Monday being Ava's 18 month birthday (can you believe) it? I thought I'd post a newborn pic of her. She was just a week old here. She was SO tiny to us. J was born weighing 9lbs 7oz. Ava was 6lbs 10 oz.

Not to mention she seems SO tiny here, compared to how she looks now. :)

Someone hand this Momma her time card, she wants to clock out!


It wasn't even really that horrible of a day, really. Maybe it's cause it's Friday. I had to run some errands. I didn't feel like going but I went. Ava slept through two of them. Ten minutes into our Sams Club errand, I started having some intestinal distress. That was fun with J blabbing on an old cell phone to her imaginary friend, while Ava tried to stuff TP between my bottom and the toilet all while flushing for me.

Someone tell me one day I'll actually get to potty in peace, please? lol

So I'm hot, tired and not feeling well and Ava's being a toddler, and J's whining about playing Webkinz and I just want Ava to take a nap, but she won't.

The hubster comes home, and I look at him and I'm like.. I'm done. I want to be done being Mommy today. He said "Good luck with that" LOL

So after supper I'm feeling similar to how I felt in Sams Club today, only the minute I sit on the potty, Ava starts pointing to it, blabbing about "Elmo" (we have a Sesame Street soft potty seat thing) and saying "sit sit sit".

Yay.

She wants to sit on the potty, and she wants to do it NOW. So I take her to the other bathroom and set her up there, only she doesn't want me to leave and she's busy taking paper off the roll and stuffing it in the potty while saying "poo poo poo poo".

At this point I really need to get back on the potty.

So I grab her and the big potty chair and we head back into the master bathroom.


Things seems to be going pretty well at this point, I'm thinking. I'm where I need to be, she pushes her chair to where she wants it to be... she backs up, and sits down. We're good!

Nope, she's getting up...

She's walking into the shower.

She's now standing, naked from the waist down, in the shower, pee streaming down between her legs, saying "uh oh, poo poo, uh oh".

Greeeaaat.

here's a simple multiple choice question for you...


Your Toddler is standing in the shower, peeing, saying "uh oh, poo poo, uh oh".... what does she do next?

A.) Bend over and play in it, rubbing it all around the shower floor with both hands, while exclaiming "oh-oh"?

B.) Stomp in the puddle with both feet?

C.) Bend down and lick said puddle?

D.) All of the above.



All this while I'm stuck where I'm at, yelling for the hubster who can't hear me because he's down here, tv on, a/c running.

THAT led to shower #2 of the day.

Showering is a whole 'nother circus act. Involving a certain toddler getting in and out multiple times, playing peek-a-boo with the curtain while soaking the floor of the bathroom, and coming into the shower, wearing her towel.

So yeah, someone clock me out, I am D-O-N-E!

No 'poo for me!

Ok, confession time.

I haven't used shampoo in almost 2 weeks.

It's kinda cool, actually.

It's also really amazing what 1C of water + 2 TB of apple cider vinegar will do for ones hair!!

I came really close to giving up shampoo a couple years ago. The hubster thought I was crazy back then. (he still does too, but he's not saying anything this time LOL)

I was reading about it being better for curly hair if you DON'T shampoo. Plus the girls' hair looks fine and they barely use shampoo. I practically had to tie Johanna down to get shampoo on her head once a week. :-P

So yay, no more struggles in that area.


Anyone else 'poo free??


Anyone up for a "No 'Poo" challenge? Think about it. :)

Diaper Covers

Anyone know where I can find some Elmo diaper covers or maybe even an AIO?

We used pampers on vacation, and Ava was really digging having Elmo on her tush. LOL I checke don ebay last weeken and didn't find anything (tho I won an auction for a Dora one... LOL)

eye, eye, eye

eye teeth.

UGH.

Someone mentioned not too long ago that when their baby cut their eye teeth, it was MUCH worse than when they cut their molars.

Worse than molars, I think? NO WAY.

Yeah, famous last thoughts...

So if you see a disheveled woman, with 2 kids, walking around like a zombie with a caribou cooler in hand, mumbling something about teeth and sleep and nursing babies, that'd be me.

I'm

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack


We got home a couple days ago, but I've been busy doing all that post-vacation stuff one needs to do. Laundry, grocery shopping, catching up on internet life, etc. LOL
