Toy story 3...our adventure after their adventure!

I decided that I would finally take Addie to her first trip to the movie theater.  Carter and I have been wanting to see Toy Story 3 forever!

So we get there for the first showing at 11:35am.  We got our tickets: $3.00 and then they had to have popcorn and drinks.  I couldn't just get one to share since I didn't want any extra germ sharing! So $20.00 later we could go into the theater.  The theater didn't open until 11:00am and I wasn't able to get everyone situated before the lights went out.  Carter knew the deal so he sat, got his straw in his cup, and was snacking away. Addie needed her popcorn immediately but wasn't heavy enough to keep the seat from collapsing. So I left them alone (YIKES) for a second and there was a booster right outside the door.  Grabbed that, but by the time I got back she spilled over half her popcorn.


Ok.. She was snacking and seated and I was able to sit.  I also had some GoGurts in my purse.  And snickers. And Tic-Tacs. And Capri Suns. And Granola Bars.  So Addie was able to sustain the whole movie!

At the end of the movie I had to pee, I was sure Addie had to pee.  We go into the bathroom and she sits and pees outside the potty because she didn't scoot back far enough! Argh! So I change her whole outfit (including socks).  I needed something to wrap her "pee clothes" in so I leaned over the toilet to grab a seat protector.. and her sweater fell into the potty!! ArGH! I ditch the seat protector and grab the sweater out, flip it to the dry side, wrap her pee clothes in it, and exit the theater as quickly as possible.

We did it!!

The sibling bond

When I think about my own sisters and how much I love them NOW I know it started from very young childhood and of course there was a time when I thought maybe I didn't love them.  (You know, when they are telling your mom on every move you made when you were trying to make every mistake in the book. Of course it was love that compelled them to tell.)


Ok.. Back to what I was going to say..

Carter and Addison love each other in a very special way.  They do fight over toys, and books and if we are watching the Transformers or Dora The Explorer! In recent weeks, Carter has started school which I thought would make Addie happy to have free range of the house! OH NO! Quite the opposite, she roams around saying, "Cawduh, Bubba, Carduh". She wouldn't nap the other day while he was at preschool without his very special White Blankie.  And today carter is sick so I sent him upstairs to rest in my bed while Addie was playing down here, and she threw down because she wanted to go upstairs to be with carter!  And now as the evening is winding down, carter is still laying on the couch pitifully and Addie is laying with her head next to his, and gently massaging and rubbing his head and ears. 

 I am so happy they have each other to love and bond with.

And, again,  to reflect back to my own childhood my sisters were always loving and caring in the times that were the most important. When I was sick, and when I was scared I could always count on comfort from them. I love them so much today for being awesome then and now! 

After much consideration..

Anyone who actually knows me knows that I can out talk anyone. I have so much on my mind and I ALWAYS have to say it! I can't hold it in.

So since I call my mom 100 times a week and text my husband 100 times a day and update my status at the drop of every hat I figured I might as well just try to put all my thoughts in one spot.

So I am introducing my blog as an ongoing rant about what is going on in my brain! I can only hope that it makes me laugh, makes my kids laugh (when they are actually old enough to read it), and gives insight into what a control freaks brain is like!

I will try my best to keep my thoughts consise and clear but I can't gaurantee anything! Look for recipes, ideas, and rants about the idiocy of the world and my pure genius.
