Go Dawgs!

Getting ready for football season with my collegiate fabric and ribbon.  I have a variety of burp cloths and I like a cloth diaper for the size and absorbency.  I saw a contoured burp cloth and thought what a great idea for good coverage.  I used terrycloth on one side and UGA fabric on the other.  I think I could really make it look like a dog bone!  I also embroidered the name and added a single tag for tactile stimulation or just to attach a clip.  Once I got on my UGA kick, I had to make baby girl a boutique hairbow.  It is a little big and will probably need to be attached to a headband.  I made a couple smaller bows, too.  Check it out!

Copy cooking

Well, not really "cooking" like a homemade meal or anything.  I saw this on a friend's facebook page and thought it was clever.  Alex loved it, too!

A couple of videos

This is a quick clip of Ashley talking/laughing a little bit:

This is Josh singing the Little Einsteins theme:

Taking pictures.

Why is it so hard to get a good picture?  I am not a great photographer, but sometimes I just want a cute pic of the kids and they just don't want to cooperate.  Is it because they are boys or because they are 2 and 4?  The funny thing is the first shot is the good one in this set, and the rest are funny although irritating at the time.

  Home Alone and straining poop face.

Get your hands out of your pants...  amazing how many time I say this in a day!

Just smile and don't scrunch your face.

This first pic I took...  should have stopped while I was ahead.

Last big Hoorah!

Any of you fellow couponers know that Publix Corporate offices made changes to the coupon policy effective May 23rd.  For me, this means much less competitor coupons and less savings.  This was my last trip before the change.  I am bummed because even though my Publix managers want to take all the competitors, corporate says no.  I will not be spending as much time planning shopping trips though.  So, that is good I guess.  I don't really spend hours on end doing it anyway, but whatever.  This is what I got Sunday:

It cost $4.89.  Not sure of the savings but the formula packs alone are over $40!

My shelf is pretty full and I think I might need a new one.  Like the nice walkway?  I know people who have entire rooms in their basement for stockpiles, so really this is nothing.  LOL!

The girls.

Poop on the Potty

Ah, potty training.  My mother has said on numerous occasions that this was her least favorite part of raising kids.  I have been taking a very relaxed approach with Josh.  I have read a lot about how older kids regress to wetting their pants when a younger sibling is born.  Well, this seemed to work the opposite in my house.  Josh seemed fascinated when I changed Ashley's diaper.  On the phone one day, my sister asked Josh how baby Ashley was.  He said "She poops in her pants."  My sister replied "Well, you do too!"  Something must have clicked b/c he suddenly started pooping on the potty.  He wears underwear at home and he has only had a few pee-pee accidents.

Yes, I took a picture of poop.  I love this picture because it shows the support Alex gives Josh with his potty training.  Alex checks the potty and exclaims "He DID poop, Mommy!"  Then he asks Josh if he will share his treat or his toy prize.

.50 for all this.  Not much else to say!
