Beach Pics!

A few pictures of the first day on the beach.

(Lindsey likes to EAT the sand!)

My Little Women in their matching
"Daddy's Little Girl" shirts for Father's Day

(way better than Gerbras, right!?)

Siamese Gerbras

** The images aren't showing for some reason and I'm on not-my-laptop at the beach. Guess you'll have to wait. Sorry. =)

In the mean time you can anticipate even greater beach pictures!

Welcome, Walt!

Natalie would like to welcome you to her home. (And I would like to welcome you back!) She developed a sudden interest in many of your movies and seems to be developing an attention span long enough to withstand a (G-rated Disney) movie. However, she would like to suggest some changes. They are as follows:

The following logo, when read out loud is pronounced no longer as "movie" but is now read as "Baby Einstein"

~~~

The title of this movie be changed to "Sleeping Princess"

~~~

Nemo and his "Mommy and Daddy" shout "Where are you?" throughout the movie

~~~

This is the moment when "Cinderwewa" becomes a princess, not at the wedding

~~~

Bambi and his parents are members of the Caribou family

~~~

The title of this movie be changed to "Play Story" and the character on the right be referred to simply as "Space Man"

~~~

The affection "Silly Bear" be taken away from that yellow guy and be given to Baloo instead

~~~


Thank you, Walt and family; and again, Welcome (back)!

=)

Gymanstics!

Natalie loves gymnastics. I love that she loves gymnastics. I love that she appears to be the kind of kid who will be good at gymnastics. (She should thank her father for that.) I love that it will help her with coordination, with strength, with concentration, with self esteem. I love her coaches and the way this program is run, and that she's introduced to new apparatuses and skills each week.

During the 2024 Summer Olympics you will be able to reflect on this blog post and say
"I knew her when...."

Finally, a summer sault:

Judges?
It's a 10!

I've still go it!

The following conversation occurred at approximately 8:10pm tonight:


Bag Boy: Would you like some help out with these?

(3 bags, no kids in tote, but sure!)

Me: (realizing I'm rubbing my shoulder)
Yes, actually that would be great, my arm is really sore.

What happened to your arm?

I got booster shot today, I'd forgotten how bad they can hurt.

If you get a tattoo you won't think shots hurt anymore.

(not true, I've treated plenty of tattooed who were terrified of a shot)

I never could get over the 'permanent' factor of a tattoo.

You just have to put something on there you want forever.

For-e-ver (think "Sandlot")

Like your Boyfriend's name.

(ha, boyfriend!) then (never a good idea!)

I'm married and have two kids; I don't think getting my boyfriend's name would be a good idea.

(he doesn't laugh ~ i thought it was pretty witty)

Your kid's name then.

(hrm, he didn't recommend the hubby's name)

Thanks for your help, Goodnight!


Brooke, Looks like you're not the only one whose still got it!

;-)

Hair Tourniquet

Lindsey was unusually fussy Friday morning and it took me until 11:00 to find a hair wrapped around her finger.

(this is an after picture)

Luckily it was just wrapped once and I was able to break it and slide it out. I've seen them so severe we've actually wondered if a toe was going to survive. Poor Lins; we're so thankful nothing is seriously wrong with her, but she does seem to have/get a lot of baby issues.

The Only Good Thing

About A Diaper Rash...

...is the Naked Time!

Hooray!

Lindsey's blocked tear ducts have cleared.
All better! No surgery needed!
The right one cleared about 3 weeks ago and the left one notably cleared during the day last Friday; a day after I made her appointment for the surgical consult.
Hooray!

A Day At The Museum

Last week we went to Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville.
Here are some highlights:

Astronaut Natalie

Miner Natalie panning for gemstones

Archaeologists Natalie and Parker

Looks like they're consulting on a find!

Natalie and Parker being "scared" of T-Rex

I was kinda scared of these guys
Natalie and Lindsey being eaten by Jaws' Great Great Grandpa

The Periodic Table of the Elements in the most fascinating presentation I've ever seen.

If I'd had this in high school I might have enjoyed Chemistry.

Bismuth:

The most entertaining element: Francium
"no known uses"

Thanks, Tellus, for a good day not too far from home. We'll see you in a year or two when the kiddos are older and a little more "museum ready". =)

Baby Safe or Redneck?

either way, it's a whole lotta fun!
