Chocolate has been restored!

How can you not love that smile??

TerraDactyl is enjoying the sunny weather.  It's warmer, so she's comfortable in just onesies most of the time.  She's maybe a little fussier than she used to be, but she's still happy.  And we're starting to get smiles in response to our smiles, not just random ones. 

After the horrifying realization that we had NO chocolate chips at our house, DH bought some on the next grocery trip. 

This should last us for a while...

Did you notice that this is a four POUND bag?  Can you tell this grocery trip was to Costco?  I don't think we'll be running out of chocolate chips for some time now.  :)

The cloth diapering experiment is still going strong.  We've gone through a few loads of laundry, we seem to be doing laundry every other day.  The weather's nice, so I've got them hanging outside so they dry extra fast. 

What a load of diapers

There's extra time involved with cloth diapering (washing the diapers, hang drying, and assembling them once they're clean), but we also don't have to spend a ton of money on disposable diapers every couple of weeks.  Plus, our city trash can is pretty small and the disposables were taking up most of the space in there.  Our set up is easy enough that DH hasn't even complained about the fact that we're storing a bunch of dirty diapers in a dry pail in the nursery.

      Well, she's certainly eating enough, she SHOULD be growing! Part of me wishes our changing table had a scale like the hospital so I could graph her weight daily, but... That seems a little crazy. Plus I think I don't have time or energy for that. :)

    I've finally caught up with the blog, and it's wonderful! Keep those posts coming. It's incredible to see the changes happening so fast. And I'm glad you aren't living a chocolate-free life anymore.

Honey, Where are my pants?

Image
The other day, DH and I were getting ready to leave the house and DH asked me to run downstairs to grab his wallet.  Sure thing, no problem.  I spent 10 minutes looking for his wallet before giving up.  DH looked downstairs for his wallet while I looked upstairs and in the car.  DH looked upstairs and in the car.  We finally gave up and left.  I had to drive instead of DH.  We spent a whole day thinking DH's wallet was missing.  Since he hadn't left the house in a week, we figured he lost it the last time he did leave.  When we finally got back to the house DH found this gadget  that links to your phone.  When you lose your wallet, you phone pings the card and it makes a noise so you can find the wallet.  Apparently, DH isn't the only one to have this problem.  ;)  Oh, and we found his wallet.  Phew!  It was in the pocket of his pants in the laundry basket.  Which we BOTH checked, multiple times.  Turns out, sometimes having a plethora of pockets in a pair of pants is a bad

Furniture Galore!

Well, DH and I have finally passed the last milestone to official adulthood.  It's not having a baby - lots of people choose not to or can't have kids.  It's not buying a house - people in big cities often can't buy houses because big cities are insane (a completely unbiased fact).  And it has nothing to do with age.  Nope.  The last milestone to adult hood is:  buying non-IKEA furniture.  DH and I are big proponents of hand-me-downs.  And we've got by pretty well so far, thanks to our generous family and friends.  But we did need a new bed, and I fell in love with one, so we ended up paying retail for it.  It was on sale, at least.  And it's really cool. My log cabin quilt on my log bed Oh, did I forget to mention I bought a whole bedroom set?  Yeesh.  I don't usually care about things matching.  And I'm usually not a big spender, so I don't want to buy all the matching things.  But this was just too cool.  And the set was on sale!  I l

Summer Camp

Image
  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate...  I think TerraDactyl told her first ridd
