Not Me! Monday!

I haven't done this in a while, but I'm sure I can think of a few things today!!

I have not become so accustomed to poop balls all over our house that it doesn't phase me to just pick them up and flush them down the toilet. What's more, I definitely did NOT find a stray poop ball in a corner while my mother in law was here visiting. My child is completely potty trained and never poops his pants. NEVER...

I was not freaking out at the prospect of my upcoming massage because I was so nervous to be topless with a stranger! I did not ask several people their advice about what to wear, and I definitely did not switch my outfit several times before Matt finally convinced me to just bring shorts with me. Of course, I did not find myself thoroughly enjoying my massage and telling my husband to get me a gift certificate for Christmas!

Matt's lawmower didn't breakdown AGAIN when our grass was in dier need of being cut. Our neighbor didn't take pity on us and actually drive his tractor over here to mow our grass because he saw Matt fighting with the mower. (side note: Matt actually cut the grass using Barry's tractor--we weren't about to let him cut our grass!) Of course, I didn't go into hospitality mode and make a big pasta dinner with peach cobbler as a thank you to our pasta-loving neighbor!

I did not make over 120 pendnats last week while Matt was basically MIA. I spend my hours pining away for my too-often-gone husband, not using my time wisely. I mostly sit by the window with a candle burning waiting for the headlights to turn into the driveway...didn't you know that?

During Shawn and Rachel's rehearsal, I was not snacking on sunflower seeds and root beer the entire time because I didn't eat any lunch. I was not secretly glad I did when I saw that the rehearsal dinner was almost all meat-full.

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

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

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

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
