What Did I Do Today?

...got woken up by my sister, completely forgetting to pick up Caleb at her house!

...ate the 20th Almond Hershey bar in the last week...oh so good!

...gave Caleb two doses of Motrin in an effort to try to kick his fever (didn't work!) :(

...had Caleb drink pear juice to try to get him to go potty...it worked...a little too well...

...tea stained 50 Bible verses for VBS

...rolled said verses into scrolls and tied them with raffita

...painted and drew designs on rocks with Owen and Sara

...had two poop issues at the same time (with two different kids)

...put said poopy kids into the bath tub and scrubbed them down

...made homemade lemonade again (I'm addicted)

...ate homemade popsicles with three very sticky (but happy) children

...watched a Veggie Tales video that was modeled after Indiana Jones

...vacuumed the main floor of the house

...mopped the kitchen, foyer, and the bathrooms

...cleaned the 1/2 bathroom...only to do it again after the poop issues insued

...made signs for our RFL sales table

...sent out another email to Relay teammates begging for help

...cooked 3 different meals for 4 different people

...got a letter from the EZPass people telling me that they are going to charge me $1.50 a month to have it now.

...called to cancel said EZPass subscription because I'm not paying that fee when I have only used it 4 times in the last year and a half.

...got some not-so-great news about my job share.

...emailed my principal to ask if there was anything else we could do to keep the job share idea alive.

Busy day...but I wouldn't have it any other way!

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
