Updates

UPDATE: Just like Melissa said, Fiskars is sending me a $20 gift card to Michaels! I sure hope they still carry the Threading Water Punch because I am going to use a 40% off coupon and then buy other stuff! Woot Woot!

At the end of an emotionally charged day (dealing with my kidney stone issue) I had nothing left to give the girls and just needed a bit of time to decompress. I flipped through the book Jen gave me and found a page that said "let your toddlers wash your money." Perfect! You would not believe how long they spent washing my pennies with a toothbrush, soap and water! THANK YOU JEN!!!!

When did instructions go from words to pictures? Is it that they think we're stupid? Is it for E.S.L. people? Do people really come out of the change room with their ass hanging out?

Story time is back at the library (why they don't do it in the summer I'll never know) and now Skyler is able to enjoy it too. Amazing that all 3 of them looked at me at the same time! Notice that Serenity is sitting on the "S" for Serenity. She thinks it's her seat. LOL

"Mommy, I'm going to be a mermaid."
"How are you going to do that baby?"
"Look"
~ and there Serenity was in her pillowcase, being a mermaid! LOL Rayna decided to be a mermaid too!

This is what happens when you go for a shower and the girls get in the fridge! They find the juice boxes (which were for a playdate we are going to) and drink as many as they can before you get out! I don't normally give them juice at home so they knew they weren't supposed to!

Then I look in the fridge and it is like some wild beast has been at the food - check out the teeth marks on this cantaloupe!

That's my update. What's new with you?

Glad you got a gift card from Fiskars! Your little mermaids are so cute and I'm laughing so hard about your refrigerator bandits!

The picture instructions are too funny, but I can totally relate. I used to be an x-ray tech. years ago and did a lot of lower G.I.'s.

I would take patients to the dressing room and let them know that I needed them to remove all of their clothing and handed them two gowns and instructed them to put the first gown on with the opening in the back, the second with the opening in the front...that way you're covered all the way around. I wanted to leave them with a bit of dignity so I told them that if they wanted they could leave their socks and shoes on.

I would return 5 minutes later ask it they were ready and I was told they were. I would pull back the drape and about 50% of the time they were standing there butt naked with only their socks and shoes on...somehow they forgot about the gown part...picture instructions would have saved my eyes from much horror!

When you said washing money I had this horrible vision of soaking wet bills. The oopsy daisy of the laundry. :) Next time see what else you can get them to wash! LOL Love the picture at the library. Love Sarah

OMG-looks like ur girls have been busy bees' LOVE the mermaid pillowcases, too adorable for words!

Ok, so my library DOES have storytime all year round(even in summer...and we even have a summer reading club for kids of ALL ages...littles ones just can have mom or dad read to them!).

YAH for ur Michaels Coupon...I'm still awaiting mine...my michaels still has the Threading Water so I'm hoping yours does too!

Brenda Hurd said...

Hope you get feeling better - that doesn't sound fun. The washing penny's sound like a great idea - i need to try that. And that cantaloupe cracks me up - because tonight at dinner i look next to my 3 year olds plate and there are 6 cucumber spears with just the seeds eaten off of them. Silly kids!

Lori said...

The picture of the cantaloupe made me lol, and I am loving that coke can I see. *grin*
Your girls are darlings, and I love the creativity with the pillowcases.
Kudos to fiscars, I hope it arrives quickly for you.
LOVE your blog! :)
