Blegh!

Littleman was sick on Tuesday. Katelyn and I came down with it on Thursday. It seemed like a 24-hr thing and I was looking forward to feeling better today, but La Chiquita (that would be Katelyn) still can't keep anything down this morning. Blah! That's how we feel.

Leah, I'll have to get back to you about this weekend. If things don't get better today we won't be able to come...I would hate to get your babies sick. :( I'll be in touch with you...

Here we are with Littleman, trying to catch his BM in the toilet.

You know...eliminate the middle man (aka the diaper).

Here he is with the thermometer. He thought it was a cell phone. He thinks a lot of things are cell phones, actually. Like this morning he was talking to the Wii controller. Ha!

Kate likes to talk on the "phone" as well.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Thanks Desiree!! I had so much fun with you tonight!! I know you probably weren't sure at the time, but I love, Love, LOVE my new haircut. Forgive me if I was GRIPPING the rails of your swivel chair...but I always get that way when my long locks are being chopped. Let's just be glad I wore my Smellamagood because I was sweating! (I tried to play it off...hopefully you didn't notice.)

Hip...

with just a hint of "mom"...

...and a pinch of RockStar!!* This time I'll try not to wait A WHOLE YEAR in between cuts...I promise!

Today I cleaned up barf and caught poo with my bare hands.

I think I deserve something nice for Mother's Day.

I'm just sayin'....

Cold Turkey

This morning I decided there would be no TV today.

At least one of us is already experiencing withdrawals.

Best Friends

When I was five my parents took me to Disneyland and bought me a stuffed Minnie Mouse. I remember how excited I was to get her. I really loved my Minnie Mouse that night and I couldn't wait to bring my new friend home.

Last night we bought Katelyn her first stuffed Minnie. She was so excited. She and Minnie bundled up under a blanket in the stroller. Katelyn made sure that Minnie's face wasn't covered, so she could see everything. Together they smelled the kettle corn, they sat and listened to the man playing keyboards in Downtown Disney, and they clapped when he was done.

On our way back to the parking lot I could hear Katelyn whispering to Minnie.

"What did you just say?" I asked.

"I'm just talking to Minnie. It's a secret," she replied.

But I could imagine what she was saying:

...Here's our car. We're about to get in it. You're going to love my house and all my toys. We'll be there soon. Watch out for my brother...he drools. We're going to have great times together, you'll see...

How do I know? Because I remember saying those same things to my Minnie doll so many years ago.
