A Pregnancy Breakfast

This is not a typical start to a day for me, but it was one of those days...

half of Avannie's banana

1 egg sandwich

cup of milk

frozen organic brownie

Great way to start off a busy day.  Yum!

Big News

This is the first page of a whole new story!  wahoo!

After lunch today, Avannie asked to sit on the potty!  Because we had tried to just sit her up there before, she hated as it scared her, I didn't quite know what she was meaning.  But she went to get her potty seat and set it upon the toilet.  I kept asking all the questions, "Do you want to take your diaper off?  do you want to sit on it?"  She said YES! and look what happened.  And as soon as she was there, "Chocolate?"  "Yes you can have a chocolate!!!"  So here she sits as she eats a chocolate chip.  Nothing happened but it was sure awesome!

Rita Relief

Our ward has a Rita Relief.  A dear friend showed up on my porch as Rita wearing the famous red cape with her arms full of a deliciously healthy looking lunch and then took Avannie for the entire afternoon so that I could nap and recuperate as I try to battle out this horrendous cold/sinus infection.  It worked!  I haven't felt this good in 5 weeks!  Thanks Darby for the yummy lunch and letting me sleep for several hours!

First BIG Snow Day

Thanks to Mother Nature for sending the snow storms on Tuesday/Wednesday this year because Amy has been able to help us shovel all the snow!  Thanks Meems, you're one awesome snow thrower.

 

Avannie supervising Dad and Aunt Amy with the shoveling.  By this point they have already been out for an hour and a half with only half the driveway done.  We shoveled twice more that same day.

Mischief Maker or Darling Entertainer?

After I had the table set for a delicious dinner, Avannie found the butter and smeared it all over Dad's plate and herself.

 Next day she turns into the darling little entertainer by crawling into the dryer!

See Science Museum

In November 2011, we went on a day-cation to Manchester.  We needed a break from the normal grind of things so we were able to get free tickets from the library to go to the museum.  It was a fun couple of hours!

Dad had the greatest fun of the whole day.

I don't know who is having more fun looking at the turtles, dad or Avannie?

The computer was definitely Avannie's favorite.

Bubble time!

Just like Mom

Guilty:  I love to eat a scoop of peanut butter with a half a scoop of jam - straight from the jars.  I thought I did this sneakingly where Avannie never noticed.  Well, kids learn best by example.
