These are two companies that most of America are familiar with. What I would like to know is why they apparently don’t make products that work with each other. See, this morning Anna was left in the living room using markers on paper. I went to do something a returned about a minute later to find this…….jpg "Image") ….Simple solution? Take pictures to commemorate my bad parenting and then an bath. And not one of those fun play play play baths. One of those scrub rinse scrub rinse baths. Well that didn’t work because apparently the kid friendly Johnson & Johnson soap does not want to wash off the washable Crayola marker. So Anna got to participate in a scrub rinse scrub soak play scrub soak play rinse bath instead. After about 20 minutes of bath time she was mostly flesh colored again.
Okay, and this is where I take a deep breath and admit that I’ve apparently decided to take several parenting vacations (stupid facebook) in November and this incident occurred during one of those vacations. Realizing that they are all my fault I documented them for some reason and yup, I’m sharing the documentation with you. Each album does have a brief description of what occurred should it not be too obvious. Write Comment (3 Comments) |

Yesterday was a day that was full of peeveness and unfulfillness. I thought it would be gone today, but nope, not yet.
Yesterday late morning we were trying to figure out if we would run errands before or after Anna’s nap time. I did what every football addicted person would do and looked at the guide to see if the Packers had the early game (noon cst), late game (3:15 cst) or evening game (7:30 cst). That’s when sadness started. They weren’t listed. Now I wasn’t sure if it was a Bye Week or the jerky tv people not airing the game because Brett Favre isn’t there anymore. I decided I’d be okay watching the Bears. Wait, but I didn’t recall seeing their names on the guide either. I turned to Anna and said, “They would not have been that stupid to schedule byes for the Packers and the Bears for the same week would they?” Anna just looked back at me blankly. Off to the computer.
That is when I reached a level of peeveness. I looked at the Packers’ schedule. Oct 26 – Open Date. I looked at the Bears’ schedule. There wasn’t even an Oct 26 listed. I learned later in the evening from Dawn that even the Minnesota Vikings weren’t playing!! That’s right. Three of the four teams in the NFC North weren’t playing during Week 8. I would like to know who in the NFL Schedule group thought this was a good idea. Oh, okay expose us to other divisions. Nope. Slept through the game we turned on (Jets vs Cheifs) so that plan didn’t work oh smarty pants of scheduling.
So, why does this problem spill into Monday? Well because I have no interest in Sportscenter today because the highlights that I’d most like to watch aren’t there to be watched. In fact the only part of Sportscenter I’ve watched was a little bit about the World Series.
Now to his credit, Rob did inform me that the Packers and Bears have the last Monday Night Football game of the season. While appreciated, this info did not take care of my need for one of them playing yesterday. This also means I’ll have slight sadness on Sunday, December 21 but happiness the next night. Dawn, are you ready for the little sadness of Dec 21?

Gnarry for the lack of updates but we have been busy doing fall like activities. Don't worry, we have some pictures to show you some of what's been happening. The first is of the kids playing throughout a day. The second is our day at Tanner's Orchard . Damion took that Friday off and we went when it was not so busy, aka the weekend. When you see the pictures you'll see that we all had fun but you will also see that Anna wasn't too much in the taking picture mood and if we did capture her it definitely wasn't posed. The day after Tanners we went to the farm where Anna saw horses and donkeys and Jack played with cats (yes, he's allergic to them but they don't seem to bother him). Anna is working on her manners. She seems to appropriately say gnarry (sorry) and thank you and please and cuse me (excuse me) with almost no prompting. Jack is spending most of his time working on standing up and talking. He's starting to be a master at saying, “night daddy”. I guess while Anna is our little parrot, Jack is her little parrot.

I know it might sound conceited to say our kids are awesome, but I’ve heard others say they pray their kids will be like ours, so that doesn’t make it conceited, right? Either way, our kids are awesome and amazing and God has truly blessed our lives with them. Write Comment (0 Comments) |

A little history for everybody before the picture. Info Bit 1 - About two weeks ago it was determined that it was time for a more severe form of punishment for The Girl after she’s done something egregious (read as push her brother over again). We had been putting her in a time out like situation in the recliner but after about 2 months that wasn’t working anymore. So before his trip Damion started putting her in the corner, facing the wall and she sits there for about 30 seconds and then after a slight discussion of what she did wrong she’s off on her way. It appears to be working so far. Jack has been pushed over free for about four days now. Info Bit 2 – This week Damion has decided to change up Anna’s bed time routine. She has to pick up toys in the living room at some point after getting her pj’s on. Then as he’s carrying her to bed they look in the garage to make sure the doors are closed and all the lights are off.
With that said, here’s the picture…….. .jpg "Image")
We saw this last night after the kids had gone to bed. Damion said he had nothing to do with it but that Anna had put them away. After seeing this I couldn’t help but wonder, what did these animals do to get put in the corner? Write Comment (1 Comments) |
