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!

TwiTour 2009- Saturday Nite

On Saturday night, the other TwiMoms and myself attended the TwiTour Ball. Basically we got all dressed up... and proceeded to act crazy and make fools of ourselves! This was also another opportunity to "mingle" with some of the actors. Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier and Christian Serratos were there for a bit and The Hillywood Show (there will be a post dedicated to them soon) kept the party going! A great time was had by all!

TwiTour 2009- Saturday

Saturday was pretty much devoted to the wolf pack. Now, I'm ALL Team Edward, but even I appreciate a little eye candy!!! The two "wolves" are Chaske Spencer who is playing "Sam" in "New Moon" and Bronson Pelletier who is playing "Jared". These guys have no idea what they're in for... next year, they won't even be able to walk down the street!




Another guest on Saturday was Christian Serratos who played "Angela" in the movie. She had on the coolest pants and shoes... black sequins. She also had a fake "Hello Kitty" tattoo on her arm! She was so beautiful and very gracious to the audience!





Also, I apologize for how crappy these pictures are. The lighting wasn't that great at the convention site, and my camera isn't cut out for zooming in. Maybe I'll get a new camera before the Chicago convention in October! Yes, I'm headed to another one!! Thank you to the geek!

Extras!!

Just had to post these two pics that my friend, Tammy, took of me with Peter and Gil! Love them!
