Pi Day!

Saturday was Pi Day, so we celebrated with a $3.14 pie.  Mmmm.  I love pie.  It's not homemade, but I'm sure it'll be about 12 years before I can make a homemade pie again. 

Yummy!

A couple weeks ago, DH put some feet on TerraDactyl's bookcase.  But it started sagging in the middle, so we took it out of her room to try and fix it so it won't sag.  Which means, TerraDactyl can now reach the previously unreachable books.  First book she goes for?  Pat the Bunny.

TerraDactyl has some silicone bibs with pouches on the bottom.  They're pretty good at catching the food she drops  And TerraDactyl likes them too because it's so much easier to find those Cheerios again.  She used to look all over in the seat of her high chair, but she can just grab the food scraps right out of the pouch.  She also likes chewing on the pouch. 

Plus, the bib is adorable

Learning to share

DH's work told everyone who could work from home to do so.  So we're practicing social distancing as much as we can.  My life looks almost exactly as it always does.  The only difference is that when we go on walks, we don't stop at the playground to swing any more.  DH's life is remarkably similar as well.  He just has a shorter commute to the office at the end of the house rather than his cubicle a couple miles from home.

Who needs swings when you've got Da Da?!?!

I did go to Costco the other day.  It was really weird.  There was a line all the way down the building to get in.  And the food shelves were pretty bare.  Limits on how much you could buy of certain items.  Other items totally out of stock.  I saw one person who'd basically just filled their cart with kitty litter.  I guess he was taking the toilet paper scare to pets...  I'm finally getting to use my giant pantry to store stuff though. 

More adorable shoes!

I just started reading Year One by Nora Roberts.  It's...  ironic the timing my library hold got fulfilled.  The book is about a strange new virus (originally thought to be a more contagious version of the flu) that creates a pandemic and infects (and kills) a ton of people worldwide.  It was written in 2017, but there are enough parallels to the coronavirus that it gives the book an extra visceral feeling.  It's totally an apocalyptic survivalist book, which I usually really like, but I feel like it might be making me a bit more paranoid about our current situation.  ;)  It takes me a minute or two coming out of reading a chapter to remind myself that the coronavirus doesn't have a 100% mortality rate like the book does. 

DH got a little carried away when using his label maker...

I do wish that we'd managed to fill up our chicken coop when we first moved in to the new house though.  It would be comforting to know we'd at least have a few eggs every day.  :)  Hope you're all staying safe and healthy.

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.....

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

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...
