The Dinosaurs

Marco loves dinosaurs. We went to the dino museum a few months ago, and he actually set up dinos around and made his own museum- then made us walk through it. We slipped out of work early one Thurs. to take them in March. Did you know that Brontosaurus are no longer called that? (So much for the Flintstones bronto burgers!)

Open Wide

On Wed. Sarah had her first dentist visit. I was dreading it, I was expecting lots of tears and many meltdowns, but the staff at her Ped office was so great, she suprisingly loved it! Marco even wanted a check up, and has one scheduled soon, even thought I hadn't planned on him going at such a young age... but since he WANTS to go who am I to stop him? Stickers galore, calling floss silly string, and rides up and down on the chair... this sure is not how I remember the dentist! Thanks Dr. Hanna!

It's been a long time...

I don't even know where to begin, life was too busy and I abandoned this blog. But because I am not a scrapbooker or good record keeper- I really need this to remember the great details of life... Too much has happened to try to pick up where my last post was, so I will just start with today...



Sarah make 22 Valentines for her preschool. I hate crafts. I was fine with buying whatever cards the local store sold and pass them out with their generic "be mine" lovies. However, not Sarah. When she first declared that she wanted to make them, I said "No, we'll just buy them". She looked shocked. Appauled. In her little four year old heart, the store bought ones were not good enough. So I felt horrible for the suggestion, went out to buy construction paper (I don't even know where they sell it- thanks Five Below for coming through!), glue, and hearts and she got busy. Like really busy. After each heart got glue she'd ask "Mommy, is this enough glue?". Then she got busy writing her name and making a smiling sun in each one. My job was to tape a lollipup in each one after. I admit, it was really sweet that she did it. She kept saying how much everyone would like them. Then she decided that her friends at school like hearts and so she went to work making hearts. It was all so sweet. Marco even made her a valentine and she was thrilled.




Marco is turning three this week! I can't believe it! Really what I can't believe even more is that he has been potty trained. And as of last week, no diapers in the night either! woo hoo!! Tomorrow is his family little party. Like really there is only a few of us, but I don't care- I really went out of my way to make it special. I called every bakery and finally ordered a football shaped cake from the Priory. Then I searched hi and lo at every store I could think of to find his beloved football guy topper to put on, as he has wanted a guy on top of his cake sooo bad. Then I found a dinosaur pinata. But what the heck do you put in it when you don't let your kids eat crap? I am exited to see his face for it all.
