Too Much of a Good Thing

On the weekends I am very lucky to say, the King makes the girls breakfast. This morning they had french toast and apple juice. Teas' cup was no where to be found, so the King just poured the juice into a large water bottle. She drug the bottle out to the family room to show me all the while saying over and over "berry hebby appa joose, appa joose too hebby." She sat on the couch and happily sipped away until the juice was gone.

Now for those that aren't already aware, she is in the process of potty training. During about a 30 minute period she ran to the potty 3 times. The last time she looked up at me and groaned "ooohhh, too much appa joose." So there's proof in its purest two year old form. You really can have too much of a good thing.

Freezing

Our forecast around here pretty much shows snow, snow, and possibly more snow. We built this snow-kid today and she and the girls made friends fast. So much so that Tea had to go out and tell her goodnight before bed. I guess when the sun eventually comes out we will have to explain that unfortunately all good things must come to an end...........

Step Right Up

Midge has taken her first steps! Amidst cheering siblings she made her wobbly way across the family room floor last night. Just as she was almost to the other side of the room her upper body charged forward leaving her legs behind and with a plop she was giggling on the floor. Congrats baby girl, you are officially on the move!

Cabin Fever

For some reason, or combination of reasons, this has always been my least favorite time of year. The holidays are over, yet it's still winter time and everything just seems kind of gray and dismal. I love the spring and I know it will be here before we even know it, but still.......I get cabin fever so easily. We're expecting another storm this weekend and we've already had enough snow to satisfy me for a whole season. I need to put myself to use and start planning a 1st birthday bash for Midge!

Splashin' Around

After a couple of really hectic weeks, it was so nice just to relax and enjoy ourselves today. We slept in, took our time getting ready, and then spent the day at a natural hot springs pool. This particular pool is very kid oriented and has a whole section where even babies can sit in the water and splash in the fountains. At one point Tea forgot she couldn't swim and stepped into the deeper end. Luckily both the King and I were very close by and grabbed her up quick. Everyone is tired tonight so bedtime should be a breeze. I know I won't have any trouble sleeping.

Good Housekeeping

Not feeling really creative tonight, so I'll be a little more practical. Here are a few household products I couldn't live without in no particular order:

1. Dawn dishwashing liquid. This is all I will use. I've tried others but they just didn't do it for me.
2. Cheer laundry soap. For a brief period I used another kind, it rhymed with "fun". I quit when people started mistaking my whites for tans.
3. Bounce fabric softeners. The stuff dreams are made of. People these are not only dryer sheets, they can be placed under the kitchen sink or in a trash can for a random burst of freshness. Can you really ask for more?
4. Febreeze. Okay this stuff completes me.
5. Ajax. Crayon on the wall? Kool-Aid on the counter? No match for this stuff.

What's your favorite household product?
