Down with cups

So I'm innocently checking facebook for something funny someone may have said and I hear from the other room, "I want juice", "I want juice too". No, Noah has not learned to form sentences over night. I watch a little boy named Zach while his mommy works a couple days a week. Well Zach had left his sippy here a few weeks ago and his mommy said it could be his daycare cup. I wash it in the dish washer and it's always here for him. Great right? no.
Zach's cup is a munchkin with Diego on it. His cup requires a cup, lid, and stopper for keeping juice in the cup, not all over the floor when left to go play.

Grace has a cup that is also a munchkin which Grandma got for her when she was too young to drink from it with Dora. It's a great cup really, but only for special occasions. meaning: when mom or dad feels like putting it together. Grace's cup requires a cup, lid, flexy straw to push through the lid, hard straw to put ito the cup, and a device which pushes the straw down when not in use. 5 pieces...5. So, Grace has to have it when Zach has his. Needless to say I bought a 5 pack of take and toss cups for every other day of the week.

Speaking of Dora, did anyone see the new "older" version of Dora that is to come out for the kids needing to see that Dora does actually age? Any thoughts?

Abbie doesn't need Dora to tell her people age...she can just look at her mommy!

Here it is, the long awaited video from the arrival of our new "BIG" bed. I noticed that I'm breathing pretty hard in the video, it's because I was fighting a cold, not because I have that hard of a time walking up the stairs. Although Eric and Ben show signs of fatigue too, but they actually did the work... so here you go, I hope it makes you laugh a little.

If it's broke, fix it

Noah fractured his arm. Yes you're right, I felt horrible. At first I didn't know what to do. I ran with my crying baby up the stairs to the kitchen and called my husband. He didn't really know what to do either. I called the pediatrician. Appointment for the afternoon was made and Noah gradually got back into the swing of things, not using his arm like normal, but playing and pulling hair and eating like normal with his other arm. By the time we got to the pediatricians office I thought for sure she would say that it was probably just sprained and that he should take it easy. She told me she thought x rays would be a good idea and to go right away and they would call from the imaging office to let the pediatrician know what they saw. I called around for the cheapest x rays and went where it was 10 dollars cheaper per x ray, all the while thinking I didn't want to pay money for it to be nothing. Noah was doing well for having fell, not eaten very much and not having tak...

Revolutionary Road

What was I thinking? Leonardo, Kate. Titanic was a hit right? So I rented this movie, Revolutionary Road. We hadn't rented in a very long time and I thought, hey it's cheaper than going to see a movie, getting babysitters are expensive these days. Well, I knew it would be rough but I got it anyway. Eric was not happy. At one point he asked if he could have my headphones to listen to his laptop instead of the movie. I'll just say this. If you're at a point in your marriage were you could go one of two directions, one good, one bad, don't rent this flick! It's real, it's hard to watch. Luckily for Eric and I, we aren't at that place, we never have been and I hope we won't ever get there. Now, it's 4am and I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my little boy thinking, I really shouldn't have watched that movie because I could have gone to bed earlier in preperation for this night. If you have seen it, or you do let me know what you think.
