Oma and Opa Came to Town

Oma and Opa have been traveling for a while and they just got back home.  The same day they arrived home, Oma told Opa they needed to come down to see TerraDactyl.  Opa managed to convince her they should wait at least a few days before leaving town again.  So they came down to visit Tuesday and Wednesday.  TerraDactyl tried some smashed carrots and was not super impressed.  She didn't throw a fit or anything, but she did make a face.  She was willing to open up for another bite, but then she just pushed it back out of her mouth.  I'm not sure that we're making much progress on the whole introducing food front. 

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

We got a lot of walks with Oma and Opa.  And while we were on a walk we decided to try out a playground.  I don't think TerraDactyl can quite handle the baby swings yet, they seem a bit too big for her, and she's not awesome about sitting up yet.  So instead, we tried tandem swinging.  TerraDactyl smiled and seemed to enjoy it, so that was fun.  We'll be doing that again. 

TerraDactyl's first swing

We also tried the slide, but it got zero reaction from TerraDactyl.  Neither positive or negative.  It wasn't very big, so maybe she didn't even realize we did something different.  The complete lack of response was actually pretty funny.  As you can see, the weather was absolutely beautiful - a bit cold, but sunny and dry.  It was great fall weather. 

The slide was underwhelming apparently.

Honey, Where are my pants?

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

  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
