Not Me! Monday!

* I did not spend over 10 minutes just now trying to figure out how to hide the rather large and disgusting-looking hot sauce stain I just got on my pants when I big glob dropped in my lap. I definitely didn't try to go 80's style and tie my jean jacket around my waste so that all of the people in the library didn't think I had some sort of "accident..." I'm secure with myself, so I would never do that. (Oh, and I also didn't decide to throw my purse over my shoulder and carry it sort of in front of me to block the hideous blob while I was walking!)

* I do not have a countdown on my Ipod counting down the days of school we have left. What's more, I really don't look at it every day!

* I didn't get 5 tick bites in the last week ( of them were not on my butt!) and have to go to the doctor today for an antibiotic because one is a huge red circle about 3 inches in diameter! What's more, I did not almost decide NOT to go to the doctor because I was afraid they would draw my blood! I've had a baby and have been poked and prodded a bagillion times. I can handle a little blood work...and I didn't sigh with relief when the doctor said I only needed to get blood drawn if I have symptoms after I finish the antibiotic!! :) (If you know me, you know that I do NOT have an intense fear of needles...so much so that my OB used to sing to me every time I got blood work done when I was pregnant!)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
