Knee Socks

TerraDactyl's obsession with knee socks has spread to include MY socks.  The other day she insisted that I put my socks on her.  And as these socks go up to my knees, they're ridiculously long on TerraDactyl.  Even with them pulled up all the way to her hips.  And since they're my socks, they don't have grippies on the bottom, so she slides a bit when she walks fast.  So she was walking pretty exaggeratedly.  But she still insisted on wearing them for three hours.

When we were walking around the yard, TerraDactyl asked to go in the car.  And by asked, I mean she pointed at it and looked at me.  When I opened the door, she moved to get inside.  Of course, when Riley saw the open door, he had to get in, too.  And somehow, with the entire car for them to play in, they both ended up in the same foot-well.  

This is TerraDactyl spying on the neighbors.  They were in their yard talking, and she just about walked up to the fence so she could watch them better.  In this picture, she's actually waving at them.  It's kind of funny, but she'll only wave at strangers when they're not looking at her.  She loves watching the neighbors though.  Sometimes when she's in her high chair, she'll lean all the way over sideways to see them out in their yard.  

I was trying to get TerraDactyl ready for bed last night and after I got all her clothes off, she grabbed my socks and her Elmo coat and ran out into the living room where DH was so she could ask him to put them on her.  Anything to avoid going to sleep apparently.  We've switched to size 4 night time diapers because TerraDactyl kept over-filling her size 3 diapers.  Too much night time nursing, but she won't go back to sleep if I don't nurse her.  Hopefully it's just a phase and she'll grow out of it.

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
