Rockies

I'll be up late tonight watching game 4. If the Rockies win this is it, they move on to the World Series. Most likely I will have no nails left tomorrow.

Onward and Upward

Now that the season has officially changed and we're spending more time inside than we are out, we started a new Sunday tradition. When we get home from Church, instead of having a quick sandwich, we have been eating our large meal for lunch. Today we had spaghetti, french bread, and corn. It makes things so much easier. Everyone comes home from church starving. This fills all of us up until evening when everybody just munches on something small. It's so nice to come home, start a fire, and have a nice warm meal. Next week I think I'll make a roast and some potatoes in the crock pot.

Our weekend flew by per usual but it was a good one. On Saturday we went for a day hike so the King could scout for his hunting trip next weekend. It was a bit chilly at first but eventually warmed up. We hiked about 4 miles with some fairly steep inclines (I had the baby in a sling) and I have to admit my calves are feeling it tonight. I was amazed at how good the girls did. They collected things along the way such as pine cones, rocks, and sticks. After the hike we had a picnic lunch and didn't end up getting home until early evening.

This week promises to be another really busy one, but we have some fun events that I am looking forward to. Unfortunately I have to make a Doctors appointment for Midge as her Eczema is flaring up horribly. It's worse than it has ever been and I am afraid there may be a couple of spots on the back of her legs that are infected. We've been using her steroid cream and up until now it's kept it under control, but for some reason it's becoming more resistant. I feel so sorry for her and I'm hoping they can give me something that will give her some relief.

Oh yeah, and how 'bout them Rockies. There goin' all the way, I just know it!

LOL

Boo laughed. A real, straight from the belly, full on chuckle. Totally spontaneous. I was talking to her and telling her what a cute little chub she was. I went in for a kiss on her double chin and there it was. Even better the King and all the kids were in the room to hear. Everyone got a real kick out of it. It's funny how something so small can change the whole dynamic of a day.

300

This is my 300th post. Wow time really flies when you have nothing better to do than document your daily life online. Really though I am approaching my blogaversary. It seems like I just started blogging and a whole year has gone by. Too weird.

Things have been demanding around here. So much to do, so little time. I know you've heard it a million times. Doesn't make it any less true though. Soccer, Daisies, Youth Group, School, change diapers, referee toddlers, lather, rinse, repeat.

Speaking of refereeing toddlers, Midge has gotten fairly aggressive lately. I mean if you call biting, hitting, and pulling hair aggressive. For now, whenever she displays any of the afore mentioned behaviors, I put her on the uh-oh chair. Too bad she loves the uh-oh chair. I think she feels like a "big girl" sitting in it. What to do, what to do. Do they have a scared straight program for toddlers?

Just Dropping in ....

To say, it works. It works, it works, it works! I couldn't wait any longer. I put batteries in the camera pressed the switch and it came on. As far as I can tell we are back in business. I hereby promise to take and post as many pictures humanly possible in honor of the little camera that could!

Please Work

Would you believe it if I told you I slept awful last night because I was so worried about my camera? I checked on her several times, lying there all pitiful looking. I'm going to follow the advice I have been given both through comments and online searches and give her a few more days before I try anything. Several times today the perfect picture taking opportunity has presented itself and in a moment of forgetfulness I've run to get the camera and than remembered she's down and out. I take several pictures a day, this is like some kind of rehab and I'm definitely experiencing withdrawals.

While I was up last night worrying I turned the t.v. on and just happened to see that tickets to Hannah Montana are selling for $4500 a pop. It's insane. It's sad too, there are so many little girls who would love to see her perform, but who can make out that check? There has to be some way to regulate the scalpers.

Ahh well I am off to run Chiggie to soccer, youth group, and swing by the store. Keep up the positive thoughts for my beloved camera.

Why Me?

Today was the last day of fall break. We went swimming just to get out. I shouldn't have asked Tea to bring me the camera. Not so close to the water. She didn't know any better. Plop. I was able to salvage the memory card. Not sure about the camera. She's in recovery right now. AKA lying on a towel in the kitchen draining. I haven't even tried to power her up as I am terrified she'll short out. Ughhh, major bummer but completely my fault.
