Thanksgiving with Oma and Opa

It was a rough drive to Oma and Opa's house.  It's only 4 hours, but TerraDactyl managed to poop THREE times that morning.  There were a lot of tears (I'll let you imagine whose tears) and wet wipes.  But we finally made it.

My brother may be regretting trying to make a Patriots fan out of TerraDactyl when she eats his Pats hat

TerraDactyl is getting more mobile and independent, so she was less content to be held the whole time.  There's always a lot of people willing to hold her, but this trip she wanted to be down on the floor practicing her crawling and playing with toys. 

Oma has all the best things, just within reach!

TerraDactyl is really into hair pulling right now

Thanksgiving dinner went well.  TerraDactyl got to try out her first high chair.  She stayed in it alright for about 10 minutes.  Then she was too squirmy.  So I ended up eating Thanksgiving dinner with TerraDactyl in her Tula pack on my belly.

After a whole lot of changing of cameras and messing with delay settings, we finally managed to get some family photos.  We could not figure out Opa's cameras, so my BIL ran home and grabbed my sister's camera.  Then we just had to get us all smiling at the same time...  ;)

Yeah, TerraDactyl is totally petting Riley during the pictures

I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was happy and safe, with plenty of family, love and food!

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
