Ouchie!!!!

Max has an owie on his pointer finger (despite what the picture looks like - no, he is not flipping anyone the bird). This was after we drained it a little and then poured alcohol on it..yes, alcohol. We are parents of the year - we don't seem to have any other type of medicine in the house! But, he didn't cry or anything. Just said "Phew..that's stinky!"

Learning the hard way

Max is very much a chewer. He still puts just about every little thing in his mouth. We used to give him three warnings when toys go in the mouth but now we just automatically take stuff away. I took away his prized Stanley the leggo train tonight. All toys that are confiscated go directly on the mantel below the tv. Tonight he just stood there holding out his arms screaming for it. One of these days, he'll learn...at least that's what we keep saying. For now, I'll capture his sweet little face and tantrums.

YIT - (Yuppie In Training)

Yep...he looks like a natural at the Starbucks thing, huh? He's drinking his "hot chocolate milk". I think we should be worried.

It's a silly-puddy, grillin' indoor - vodka tonic kinda day!

Wow - it's super windy and super chilly today. We braved Costco, had lunch with an old high school friend and tackled a RV dealership. We are home where Max is playing happily (and quietly I might add) with his silly puddy (notice the concentration...) Mommy is way to cold to grill those pork chops outside so I broke out the Foreman Grill and a drink!

Play date..and nightie, night!

Max's friend Gloria came over today for a visit. They played really well together but decided it was time to go night-night. So, we plopped in Tinkerbell and they chilled for a bit.

The Princess & The Frog

We had to get out of the house today for a bit. We took Max to see The Princess and the Frog. (He did better than daddy....) Daddy disappeared for a few minutes...hmmmmmmmmmmmm....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We just hung out at our house last night with my cousin and her family and a few other friends. Kept it very low key and everyone was at their own home in bed by 11:00. Todd and I managed to stay up just to ring in the new year and then I was out by 12:01! Max rocked it on Band Hero and then was lovin' up on Brenna. He is a true joy.

Todd and I started our assault today on our extra flab and are hopefully training towards another triathalon early spring. I started my morning with some of my fellow instructors and taught our ONE class at Jazzercise. I think we had close to 60 students today. I was pumped and once I get my energizing, funky playlist updated, I'm hitting the bike!
