Greetings, this is my first try at blogging, it will be random thoughts and activities of me and my family throughout our days. For my friends reading this, note that I will never use more than first name initials and will never post pictures of you (or children) without permission. Let the journal begin.
Today was kind of crazy, I got up twice, once at 4:30am with hubby as he had me set my alarm as well as his to ensure he got up. Got back to sleep a bit later sunggled with Drew beside me. Got up for the day around 8am. showered, threw Beth into the shower right after breakfast. Then started the last minute cleaning for a playdate I had scheduled. My friends arrived right on time.. and just before I finished vacuuming. UGH! I never did get the vacuum put away. I'll vacuum the other 1/2 of the living room tonight. So Friends leave and Drew goes down for his nap with a loud but thankfully short protest. The girls and I enjoy lunch, and my mom arrives for a visit. During her visit Drew wakes, and then she runs with Beth to the needlepoint store by us, while they're gone I decide to be useful and put away laundry, which means I'm not sitting "on" Drew... next thing I know I smell burning plastic. Run to the kitchen there's Drew on a stool, "cooking" a stuffed cat in the toaster oven. The oven is fine, the stuffed cat is dead, and gone. I burned two fingers because I wasn't smart enough fast enough to realize it's HOT! The toaster oven is now unplugged, and I think I scared Drew enough with the firm (quiet), NO TOUCH, regarding the oven. I hope I did.
After that Drew and I took Tori to Gymnastics, she just went up an age level and just when I'm concerned she's struggling, she starts doing something better than other kids that are 2-3 years older than she is. The highlights were watching her do front pike rolls, and seeing a mommy friend I thought I'd "lost" due to changing days. Got home, and now I'm off to negotiate dinner, tonight is mandatory leftovers, as there is no more room to store leftovers. Thankfully my kids aren't overly picky about food!!!

Yay! I've added you to my favorite reads :) Sorry about the burnt fingers, but I have to ask, have you let Drew watch Alf? LOL
Hey JBear. : )
'Loved the post! : )
I'm so glad that Drew's "cooking" wasn't a bigger problem. : )
It is just so hard to child-proof a home when they get bigger.
When I had a roommate, many years ago, I was lying down on the couch watching TV, once, when I looked casually to my side to see my roommate's two year old daughter about to put a sharp hunting knife in her mouth. Well, don't ask me how I did it, but I managed to get up and jump over the coffee table and grab the knife before it reached her lips. Talk about a heart attack. Lol. : ) I will never forget that (and who puts that in a tool box?) ever.
And I tried to act real cool about it too, so 'she wouldn't be scared. Lol. : )
Oh the memories! Lol. : )
