Under the Weather...

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. No excuse except that life keeps getting in way.
DD and I are both sick right now with strep throat; I anticipate DS and the geek will have it by the end of the week. It just keeps getting better around here!

Happy 5th Birthday, DD!

It's hard to believe 5 years have passed! She's a big girl now!

We Will Never Forget...

Toileting Update...

I've had a couple people ask how the toileting is going with DD. It's... going. Some days are good- the majority lately haven't been great. She had quite a few accidents over the weekend, and now she seems rather upset when she has to sit on the toilet. We found another kind of soda that she likes, so we're flooding her with liquids to give her lots of opportunities to try.
It's a challenge. Then again, what isn't?

Day One: Intensive Toileting

Day one of "intensive toileting" with DD. She has been working on potty training for at least a year now off and on. It goes well for a while, then she regresses for a while. We're starting a program with the therapists today to work on it... we're hoping it goes well. It would be nice to have one out of diapers. I was trying to estimate how many diapers I've changed since they were born... average 5 per day for the 16-months it was just DD, then 10-12 a day since DS has been born. I think I guessed it at about 15,000... too many to count!

Scary...

It appears I've opened a can of worms...
We'll see how this whole "quilting" thing works out for me. I'm starting simple- a "rag quilt" with some flannel scraps I had lying around. I've been cutting and cutting and cutting some more. And I've got quite a bit more cutting to do. I'm armed with some instructions I printed off the web. And I'm never afraid to try new things- it's always a learning experience!

Last of the Pics...

Wow, it's been a while since I posted, huh? I don't really have any excuse except that I've been super busy finishing up projects around the house. I have a few sewing projects I will probably post next week, but I need to give them to their intended owners first!
Here are the last of the pics from the TwiTour convention! These are of The Hillywood Show. This is a parody group that does an AMAZING parody of the "Twilight" movie. They also have a few other parodies that they do including "The Dark Knight". Check them out on you-tube or their website, http://www.thehillywoodshow.com/ if you get a chance. They are the nicest people- and so talented!
