I was just discussing this article with Shawn and made a comment about how parents apparently missed the lesson where the word starting with N and ending with O was taught. Ethan started saying "starts with N, ends with O" and I asked him what N-O spelled.
CROCODILE!
Logan has started reaching out for me if someone else is holding him. It's so nice to be loved.
We are home. More later or tomorrow when I am not one-handed.
I made my first sale on Etsy! Woohoo!
Chris's (BIL) birthday is Tuesday, so I'm being a good SIL and making him some chili and sweet/sour meatballs to put in his freezer. Well, Shawn is making the meatballs, but I'm reading the recipe off for him. LOL
Shawn is taking one of the garden tractors home to use as a snowblower/lawn mower. It's just sitting around and rusting here, and his mom won't ever use it, so he figured he might as well take it. So Chris is bringing it to our house in the back of his truck tomorrow. We really should put a hitch on the back of the Aztek. Or just buy a new vehicle that has one. Like a minivan. :D
Didn't do much else today. We ran to town tonight to get stuff for the chili/meatballs, and I stopped at Joann's and got 5 yards of black felt for a photo backdrop. Can't wait to use it!
We're heading home tomorrow! I'm excited to get home and start decorating for Christmas!
I forgot a Thanksgiving post. Damn. Ah well.
We rocked the Black Friday sales today. Got almost everything we went for.
Still at MIL's house and bored out of my mind. Usually there are other assorted family members around, but this year it's just us. And I forgot my pump so we can't even go out without the kids.

So we've been waiting until 6 months to start solids with Logan. However, I think he's getting to be about ready. Shawn was just munching on some Froot Loops and Logan grabbed one out of his hand and got it just inside his mouth before we caught it. I think he licked the sugar a bit and got all excited. It was really cute. :) That's one of the signs of being ready, right? Grabbing for food and trying to feed yourself? I'll have to do some more looking and reading up. He's 2 weeks away from 6 months, so it's not like we're starting THAT early.
We're back in Iowa for the long weekend. Not sure what we're doing tomorrow - possibly a trip to Iowa City, we'll see. I want to eat at Sonic. :D Yummy, yummy Sonic. I can't wait to get one at home!
Quick post tonight, I just got Logan nursed down to sleep and realized that I needed to post yet. We went to Woodfield tonight and checked out the new play area. Pretty nice! Ethan seemed to enjoy himself. It's really big, which is good in that it can accommodate a lot of kids, but bad in that it's hard to keep an eye on your kids amongst all the others.
Tomorrow is my last day of preschool! Woohoo! LOL Starting next Tuesday, Ethan will go all by himself, and I can't wait! It'll be a nice little 90 minutes of time with Logan. I'm glad his school is so close to our house - I can drop him off and come home and still have a good length of time before I need to go back.
We're heading to Kalona after preschool tomorrow and staying until Sunday. I have a feeling I'm going to forget to post. Only 6 more days of NaBloPoMo!
Ethan pooped on the potty tonight! WOOHOO!! *twirl* He hadn't pooped all day, which is very unusual for him, so before bed I asked if he had to go. He said yes, insisted on sitting on the big potty (thank heavens!), sat down, and pooped! I think this is the third time he's done it? So, so proud of my boy!
I made a big Thanksgiving dinner today - turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, gravy, Jello salad. It turned out really, really good and I am stuffed! It was a 20 lb. turkey so we have a TON of leftovers! I'm going to make turkey dressing when we get home from MIL's next week, and we'll have hot turkey sandwiches tomorrow night for supper. There should be at least 2 quart size Ziplocs of turkey leftover after that. I'll probably use some of it for baby food when Logan is ready for meats.
Speaking of Logan, he's awake, so I should go get him. :)
