Christmas in... June?

We got a lot of hand-me-downs (thank you generous friends) for TerraDactyl, so not all of her clothing is seasonally appropriate.  It fits her now, so if it's gonna get worn, it's gonna get worn now.  :D  I've never been too fashionable, so my poor daughter will have to wait until she's old enough to develop her own sense of fashion.  :)  She's adorable anyways. 

Confidence is always in style

It's been over 80 degrees here, which is quite warm for us.  We don't have our window air conditioner installed yet this year, so the house gets pretty hot.  I think the warm weather is making it harder for TerraDactyl to sleep.  She's been difficult the last couple of days (and nights).  So we're doing our best to regulate the temperature a bit better (using windows, ceiling fans, & curtains to the best of our ability).  If it gets much warmer, we might have to get that air condition put in. 

Ever seen Toy Story?  These are TerraDactyl's crazy eyes (like Mr. Potato Head's angry eyes)

Yesterday was the DH's last day off of work.  He'll be returning to work on Monday.  I'll be all on my own.  I'm a bit nervous.  I'm confident that TerraDactyl, Riley and I will all survive, but we might not all be happy.  And there might not be a whole lot else happening.  We'll see how well I do cloth diapering then!

    Someone came to work in Christmas "hear" last week, and nobody said a word. Maybe they felt as I do, that it's never a bad time for Christmas spirit? Keep that spirit of joy and lightness with you next week, and please let us know if we can help.

A Parade!

Image
Check out all the candy TerraDactyl collected from the 4th of July Parade!  DH said she had a blast running out and picking up the candy.  For most of the parade they were spaced pretty far away from other kids so she actually had a chance to get the candy.  After a while though, another family with older kids camped out on their other side and they pretty much cleaned up the street before TerraDactyl could get to it.  She's not super aggressive with these things (yet - I'm sure she'll inherit a decent dose of competitiveness).  Also, check out her awesome snow boots that she insisted on wearing.  She's such a nut. Parade snacks!  DH and I weren't sure what kind of parking there would be, so they drove to a train stop and rode the train downtown.  TerraDactyl was super excited about the train ride.  DH wanted to walk back to the car after the parade, but TerraDactyl insisted on riding the train back.   A bit surprisingly, TerraDacty...

My Name is Still Mom

Image
TerraDactyl had her first day of school.  It went super smoothly.  She had zero problems with us dropping her off with a bunch of strangers.  Once the teacher said she could play with the toys in the room, she had no more interest in her parents.  And DH and I suddenly had 3 child-free hours!   Here's one of the last photos of me pregnant.  Do you think these vertical lines are slimming?  I know I look huge.  There's a good reason for that... This little grumpy troll (aka SaraTops) was born on July 14 at 2:42pm, weighing 9 lbs, 10 oz!  She was a big one!  More than a pound heavier than TerraDactyl was, but an inch shorter (20.5" vs 21.5")!   SaraTops is actually much more attractive than that last picture indicates.  We refered to her as Norm throughout the pregnancy because Norm MacDonald is DH's favorite comedian and DH suggested we name her after him.  I did not agree to that plan, but I did allow Norm as a ni...

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.....
