Not Me! Monday!

*  I didn't have a conversation with my honors reading class about Mussellini and Hitler on the second day of school.  I wasn't absolutely THRILLED that these kids have an interest in WWII that I could encourage and cultivate this year!  I do not LOOOOVE this fabulous class!!!  :)

*  I didn't tell my science class that it takes one day for the earth to orbit the sun.  I certainly know basic astronomy and don't need to be corrected by a nine-year-old who innocently pointed out my mistake.  There definitely wasn't a special ed teacher in the room at the time either!

*  Babies R Us was having a "Cash for Clunkers" trade-in event.  You could bring it old car seats, strollers, etc. and get 20% off a new one.  Of course, I did not jump at this offer even though I am not yet pregnant simply because I can't turn down a good deal!!  I did not take two of Amy's outdated car seats, go at the first chance I had to BRU, and buy a new car seat base and Sit-n-Stand.

*  I did not actually get $20 off of my Sit-n-Stand in addition to the 20% off because I'm just that good!  :)

*  When it came time to trade in the old car seats, Caleb most certainly did not have a complete melt-down at the thought of giving the manager these old seats that he hadn't sat in in a year and 1/2!  He didn't proceed to scream through the store, "I want my car seats back!!!!!!!!" and then yell at the manager to "GIVE THEM BACK!!" when he saw the poor man.  Naturally, Matt and I didn't just laugh at him.  Uh-uh, not us!

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
