Reuse it Thursday

What do all you mothers do with all the old itty bitty baby spoons with the tiny scoop that you used when you were just starting to feed the little ones?? Do you pack 'em up or toss them? Or do you find a way for them?

We make popsicles with them.

You those premade popsicle makers tha some with the teeny handle makers? Well, after using the handles it comes with, we put those in a ziploc baggie in the freezer and do some more using the spoons at longer more sturdy handles.



How do you reuse your spoons??


**Update and responses: Amy, check your email. I emailed you. Uncle is doing good, he is still in ICU because his kidneys decided to give them a little problem. But I want to thank you all for your prayer.
Sorry about the link. Kelly Wilson was in the link. He should have graduated with us. Killed downtown years ago. On Channel 5 website, search "Shot in the dark". Maybe they haven't deleted it. Big Boy pants.. going as expected.. ups and downs.

Random

This guy graduated with me in High School. I really hope his family can get closure.

My uncle is doing great. His surgery went really well and they went ahead after reattaching his airways in his lung, they took the lymph nodes. They will do some testing, but they said that everything looked wonderful. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. They only had to take 15% of one of his lungs.

I was at my granny's new house working on fixin' it up before she gets in it until about 10:20 last night. I don't know how my mother does it every night. I doubt my granny will get in it this weekend... maybe next.

I leave you with a pic of why it is so hard to get laundry done around here.

Let's make a deal

I have really started getting fed up with the whole G walking around naked all the time. See, when he is naked, he is great about going to the potty. I mean wonderful. I know he knows when he needs to go pee or poop. He gets out of the pool to do it eventhough he has on a swimming.
Now, when he will wear a diaper their are only the occasional times when he ask to go with a diaper on.

I figure he feels like a diaper is his lazy pants... So yesterday I made him a deal..

G, if you go all day without an accident and you go to the potty everytime you need to, and wash your hands like a big boy.. I will have a surprise for you when you wake up from your nap.

He woke and I took off his nap diaper and he went pee pee.. I gave him his surprise.




He saw his new big boy undies and said in such excitement "DADA.. MOMMA"
Yes G, momma and dada where big boys undies just like this. Now, we don't want to get this dirty or wet, so you go to the potty when you need.. you can't got potty in these.



He is so absolutely proud of himself.

Now, we haven't ventured out of the house in big boy underwear, so they are still only for home during the day NOT when we are sleeping...
But we are getting there.

Rounding up the weekend

Hope you all had a good holiday weekend.

We were busy. I dropped poor J the boys all day Friday and all day Saturday to help work on my grandmother's new house she just bought. I think I might have inhaled too many fumes and methane gas on Saturday because I ended up going to bed early because I thought I was going to puke.

I think G has been in at least 1 corner in every single resturant we have visited here recently. After his and D's antics Saturday night, I think we might be banned from Danvers.

We visited granny's, and the store and went to a birthday party Sunday. We were wiped out.

keep my uncle in your prays tomorrow. He is going in to have part of his lung removed because he has lung Cancer. He will be in the hospital for a good bit. Hopefully everything will go smooth.

Back from the bed

G had been running a fever anywhere between 100-102 since Monday. He has been poopy feeling and not eating... but he has been drinking, so I doubt it is his throat again. Well, yesterday afternoon he had started to feel better, so we decided to take advantage and let him go swimming... so we all went.






Of course, as soon as we started to come in for dinner and stripped his swimmy off, he laid on daddy's shoulder and didn't want to come off. It was too much and he was back to feeling bad. :(

Today he is feeling his oats.

*NOTE: In the last pic, G is not in distress, when D swims, the boy kicks very crazy... G was just getting splashed.

Jump around

As promised, here is their new present from their Mammie.


I could not get a good pic of G in the tramp because he, as usual, is naked, and I guess it was a new sensation jumping, outside, naked. The pics would have been vulgar and inappropriate for the internet. Plus, every time he jumped, he would grab himself, say "ding ding" and grab it... then it got to where he was trying to jump while watching it...

You mess it up... you clean it up

"G, did you smash raspberries into the carpet?"

"NO, D ojrhoighueuglsl"
"Oh, so D did it?"

"D, did you smash raspberries into the carpet?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
"You didn't? Is this your shirt?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
"Oh really, you are wearing it. Should I believe you?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

"Well, your mess, you clean up!"
