Not Me Monday!

Well, let's see. I most definately did not sleep all day on Saturday. Nope. Sick or not, what mom does that?

I did not stay up until midnight Saturday night cleaning my house like a maniac because I felt so guilty for sleeping all day.

I did not put off making a needed doctor's appointment just because I've gained a couple of pounds. Why would I do that? Everybody loves the scale at the doctor's office, right?

I did not stop at Kohl's and buy Addie a new pair of pj's because she had soaked through her diaper and we were 45 minutes away from home without a change of clothes. My diaper bag is extremely well packed and organized...

And lastly, I did not get Addie out of her bed at 3am and put her in bed with daddy and I just because I'd had a terrifying nightmare and couldn't sleep. No, she's the almost 2 year old in the house...not me...

Happy 4 weeks, Auntie Mo-Mo!

It's hard to believe, but Maureen and Josh's wedding was 4 weeks ago already! Mo was stunning, of course!, and thier day was beautiful! We had a busy but fun week getting things ready and it seemed like the whole day went without a hitch. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures the day of the wedding, due to the busy busy day, but more so to the fact that Addie cried pretty much the whole time we were at the church! She had been such a little trooper all week, but I think she had had her fill of excitement by the time the wedding day came! That evening once everything calmed back down she was fine...she's definately not a lover of large crowds...but the important thing is that Maureen and Josh had a beautiful day and they are MARRIED! Congrats, you guys!

Baby Mia, kitty cats and one confused toddler...

Baby Mia is getting so big! We got to spend some time with Grant, Amy and the kids a few weeks ago and Addie LOVES Mia!


Hugs...



..and kisses!



So how do kitty cats pertain to this post? Well, when we got home after our visit Addie was playing with a puzzle that Ryan's grandparents sent her - the pieces are all different farm animals and when you fit a piece into the right spot you hear the animal's sound. So I kept trying to get Addie to say "meow" for the kitty cat, but every time I said "meow" she said "Hi, Baby!". We did this about ten times before I finally figured it out...to her almost two year old mind "meow" sounded like "Mia" and she had just spent the weekend saying "Hi, Baby!" to baby Mia! We never did master "meow" that night, but Mommy and Daddy sure had a good laugh!

Prolonging bedtime...

...at Gramma and Papa's house is easy! Just convince them both to read books!!




Am I smart or what?

Not Me Monday!

I had a list of things that I did not do this week, but then this happened...




...and it just trumped all the other things I did not do. The smoke is finally clearing from my kitchen and I've sprayed lots of Febreeze so my students don't choke when they come in for thier lessons tonight...


Btw, Addie most certainly DID NOT decide to climb out of her crib rather then take a nap and fall head first to the floor...not my little cherub. Nope.

We're back...

...we have a camera and I have lots to post! I'll work on getting caught up this week - in between all the other things I'm trying to dig myself out from under!!





This big girl is the second love of my life (next to her Daddy, of course!) and I think she knows it! I know her eyes aren't open in this picture, but I thought it was sweet. Like my baby. Sweet. Wonderful. Loving. Kind. Fun. Happy. Her Daddy's girl and such a gift to our world.




Here's one with her eyes open, just for the fun of it!

We have lots of adventures to share, so stay tuned!

Put-in-Bay

Wow, it's already been over a month since we went to Put-in-bay on Lake Erie and sadly I'm just getting around to posting about it. We used a disposable camera for the trip since we were without our digital. I forgot how much better a digital picture is! We had a great visit with my Grandma (who somehow managed to avoid the camera ALL weekend) and enjoyed the island. I am addicted to the Great Lakes and it was so refreshing to be on the water! I literally sometimes CRAVE the water...must be a childhood thing...

Not Me Monday...er...Wednesday

I love MckMama's blog and have decided to link to her Not Me! Monday feature. I'm a little late this week, but better late then never, right?

I did NOT have a Sonic blue coconut cream slush for lunch today. Nope. That would be unhealthy and a very poor example to my child. But she's not even two, so IF I were to do that, which of course, I didn't, she wouldn't remember anyway.

I did NOT proceed to watch a movie in the middle of the afternoon while Addie took her nap. Nope. How lazy would that be?

I did NOT go to bed last night without picking up the disaster of toys in the family room. I then did NOT wake up and say a prayer of thanks for my wonderful husband who picked them up before he came to bed. Nope. I'm always on top of things.

I did NOT drive to our old apartment last night after I grocery shopped and realize when I pulled in the driveway that I was at the wrong place. No Way. I stopped being a space cadet years ago...

What did you NOT do this week?
