Wednesday was one of those days. I heard my baby fussing from her nap so I went in to get her. I knew when I approached the door she needed her diaper changed. It was that smelly.
However, when I went to pick her up, I was surprised to discover her diaper didn’t do it’s job. (and unlike last time, there really was a diaper there, it just didn’t seem to hold the goods)!
We had an incident a few weeks ago at the park. One of those, turn your back for one seconds, incidents. The kids were frolicking in the grass and I turned to look at the baby, when I turned back my two year old was gone.
After suffering the sick feeling of panic in my stomach and running around like a crazy mama I heard her crying. She had fallen down during her frolic and I couldn’t see her in the tall grass.
My hubby and I had the sad realization the other day that we aren’t as good of parents as we thought we were. See our son is 4 years old and we haven’t taught him to ride a bike or to swim.
So, we decided it was time to get the boy a bike.
Hubby thought a consignment shop was a good idea, because why spend a butt load of money when you don’t have to.
This weekend my husband and my son went away for a Father/Son camping trip. More pics and details to follow later this week. For now, it’s girl time!!
I stayed home with the two girls. We had a wonderful time playing and bonding. We baked chocolate chip cookies. Because a girl has got to have her chocolate fix, right? And then to be completely stereotypical, I took them shopping at the mall.
Scott and I see eye to eye on most things. When it comes to parenting though, we have one major disagreement…

I think they are cute and cuddly and so adorable.
Scott thinks they are impractical and a complete waste of time. "Why do we need to change them just to sleep," He asks.
I have a hard time coming up with a real compelling reason.
"Because they look so cute in them," is typically my reply.
Last week was a busy week around my house…with celebrating my birthday and preparing for my baby girl’s first birthday party, I didn’t have a lot of spare time left for reading the Internet. So, of course when I checked CNN.com to scan the headlines, I only had time for one article. Which article did this homebound mommy starved for information on life outside of the circus, click on?

Ya know how they say Mom’s have eyes in the back of their head? I’m not sure exactly when my extra set will arrive… do my children have to reach a certain age, or do I need to have a certain number of children? Seems that with a 4 year old, a 2 year old, and an almost 1 year old… I could really use those extra set of eyes…NOW!
I LOVE Chick-Fil-A. I could go on and on about how family friendly they are, how good their food is, how I think Truitt Cathy is such a great example of a godly businessman… but I will save my love affair with Chick-Fil-A, the inventors of the chicken sandwich, for another post, or two…
Friday was Cow Appreciation Day. I know this because I subscribe to the Chick-Fil-A e-mail updates and I am in on all things up and coming at Chick-Fil-A.
Time for another Sincerley Fro' Me To You Post. Since my baby turns one this month, I thought I’d share a pregnancy anecdote with you.
In January of last year my good friend told me she was pregnant with her third child. Her oldest son is 10 months younger than my son, and the two of them are good buddies. Her second son is 4 months younger than my middle child.
I have a problem. Despite my best intentions, I seem incapable of returning library books on time. Upon returning home from the library, my husband often asks, “So, how much are these going to cost us?” It seems our library visits are taking a dramatic turn for the worst.
Even after our bad experience at the library , I took the kids back for books. This last time we weren’t scolded for our “inside voices” so I thought all was good.
